I Believe In Ghosts
Today I was walking along by the water and in the distance by the rails I fancied that I saw a blond haired woman standing looking at the water with a small dog. This was my impression at a cursory glance.
As I glanced again in that direction I again thought it was a woman with her dog, it was very bright morning sunshine so I was squinting and not looking properly.
Getting a bit closer I realized it was a life ring hanging there and the rope trailing down besides it.
I can easily imagine how people can think they have seen a ghost in the distance that suddenly seems to disappear. I believe some ghost sighting are cases of optical illusions like this.
