hubby says he has seen a ghost five times so far.

[lowresidue]

Hubby has taken our dog to a local wood, and lets the dog go for a run.
He goes at different times and different days.
He came home and told me that he has seen the same woman ghost five separate times so far. Tonight with bonnet wearing woman made him jump when she popped up in front of him. When he said 'you made me jump', she smiled nodded and walked away from him.

He was quite serious but I asked why he thought she was a dead/ ghost? He said because she is wearing a long coat and a bonnet type hat.
AIBU to suggest that this woman isn't dead, isn't a ghost and is an odd lady with a strange fashion sense?
He is quite firm she is a ghost, and walks along the path but not on it though the trees.

personally I am glad we are going on holiday soon my hubby really needs it asap.
Then again AIBU?

Good point shatners where are all the ghosts in jeans? Or in kappa tracksuits? Or punk ghosts from the 70s?

I agree with PPs, you must go with him next time.

I see the same bloke walking down the quiet country lane near my house every single time I go down there - doesn’t matter what time of day it is, he’s always there. But he has no bonnet and wears jeans so I guess that rules out the ghost thing no?

I saw a ghost once. The usual script - in bed at night, on my own, in darkness, woke up for no reason, saw a grey mist in the shape of a person at the bottom of my bed. I fully expected the image to disappear as my eyes focused better. But it didn’t. At the bottom of my bed was a young lad in a baseball cap and tracksuit. I screamed and kicked out. He disappeared. I searched every corner of my house but no sign of an intruder. I guess it was a modern ghost. I’ve experienced other events, but this was the most visual one.

I think the heat has affected him. Make sure he drinks plenty of water in future.

no one ever see ghosts at ten o’clock on a Tuesday morning in Tesco.

Fairly certain I've seen a few on a Saturday morning, looking for hangover cures....

Ghosts don’t exist and it’s not arrogant to say so.

Oh of course they do, and actually it is arrogant to make such a claim. Its implying all the people that have experienced them are stupid, and that you know better than them.

LTB! What else is he lying about! Next thing it will turn out that his penis fell into this lady in the bonnet he keeps ‘running into’ in the woods.

shatnersbassoon. My DD went to a Quaker school and no one, ever, teachers, staff, parents nor students, ever wore a bonnet.

Puppy is that your dh, walking with you?

Ooooh let’s tell ghost stories 👻 😁 I once saw a woman dressed all in black in the middle of a field whilst on a walk. She looked like a witch! I turned around for a second as I heard a boom noise, turned back and she had disappeared! There’s no way she could have left the field so quickly!

God damn it why can’t I find the Savernake thread!
I wanted to have a look

That would be fairly obvious to everyone. But you're familiar with traditional Quaker outfits, right? Or do you think that modern Quakers not wearing such things adds to the growing evidence that op's husband is communing with a ghost? My point wasn't that all Quaker women wear bonnets, in other words

He's trying to get you to take some turns walking the dog. this!

Seriously, everyone locally knows there's a ghost, they've all seen it, but no one's bothered recording or proving it? Go for it OP! You'll make millions on your book deal.

Yes he needs to video her next time... Actually no don't. I can just imagine the thread from her on here :o

.....it's implying all the people that have experienced them are stupid...

...or mistaken. Or lying. Or unwell. Or asleep.

There are no such things as ghosts. It's a physical impossibility. Anyone who knows this does, in fact, know better than those who believe.

@Curtainshopping

You took the words out of my mouth!
I'm not a believer, purely because I have not seen proof. Show me some proof and I will change my mind.

There are plenty of people in our village who could easily be mistaken for ghosts if they wandered into the woods!

To be fair, there are many possible explanations of what DH saw, as the thread above shows. Nobody needs to be horrible to one another.

I love me a bit of woo in the morning

I've seen a ghost - a dark figure crossed my path a bit ahead of me. I rounded the corner and he (?) Was gone. Nowhere he could have gone as there was only a small semi circle of houses and all of them had security lights. All the security lights came on when I walked past them but none had come on until I was there. No car running etc etc, there was literally nowhere the figure could have gone

I assume the PPs stating "ghosts do NOT exist" have some form if evidence?
Would be much better, IMO, to say "I do NOT believe in ghosts"?

Oh - OP, I'd definitely be walking with hubs, out of curiosity if nothing else!!

@GiBlues apparently the Savernake story is in this thread
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2733872-to-ask-what-s-the-weirdest-strangest-creepiest-thing-that-has-ever-happened-to-you

It's the one about someone house/dog sitting when one of the dogs gets out at night.

Thanks madison
I’ll have a read through 👍🏻

I have no idea what your husband saw, but daaaamn people who say/write "I know THE truth, there is no discussion, people thinking something else are stupid" are so smug and annoying, no matter what they believe in... Party poopers

Funny how ghosts always wear Ye Olde Fashioned clothing. You never see one in an Adidas tracksuit, do you?
