Given the night that it is I'll share a wee story from my past.

During my training I was stationed in the Mater hospital. One Saturday afternoon a number of emergencies arrived in. You see a guy driving northbound on the M50 lost control and jumped onto the south bound side hitting a family car head on.

As the day passed by things calmed down. Later that day I was in the old part of the hospital. Going from the top floor to Saint Agustin's ward in the basement. Called the lift and myself and a woman got in. We travelled down as far a the first floor when the lift stopped. The doors opened and a young girl probably about ten went to enter. I said "sorry this lift isn't for you little one" and let the door close. The woman in the lift asked me why I said that and I explained that when someone passed away in the hospital they got a red wrist band so the porters knew they had to be moved to the morgue. The young girl was involved in the M50 crash and was wearing one. With that my companion in the lift raised her hand and said "but why am I wearing one". The lift stopped dead. It took security 30 minutes to get me out. Only me. No one else was in that lift.

Kaizer once went to the pub with a large sum of money in his pocket.

He woke up 2 days later....there was no money and no recollection of the previous 48 hours

It's a very very true story. You can actually google the crash. It's the very reason the NRA put metal barriers separating the two sides of the M50. It happened between blanch and finglas. Where the road dips.

I'm confused. Why did you not stop the woman getting on the lift with you, but you stopped the girl?

Here or There

Going back here nearly 30 years. I my mother and G/ mother were traveling back to my grans from visiting my great gran, who was in an old persons home, we had to pass a deserted chapel. As we drove pass my gran kept looking back at the chapel gates. I asked her who it was she was looking at as I'd seen the lady also. My gran didn't answer but continued to keep looking back. When we'd got to her home I asked again, gran who was the lady waving at us from the gates. Gran said who it was but what freaked me was the woman had died a month earlier as we'd all been to her funeral.

robbed from elsewhere

I remember getting a lift home one night and as i jumped in there was nobody driving the car. The car took off and as the car went to hit a tree a hand came in and turned the wheel.

I jumped out completely spooked and ran like hell following the street lights i could see nearby. I finally got to the local pub and drank about 4 whiskeys to calm down.

After 20 minutes 2 lads came in, looked at me and said "there's the prick who got into the car down the road when we were pushing it"

another one "borrowed"

Back in October 1999 I went to Dublin Airport to collect my then boyfriend off a flight. I sat in arrivals constantly looking at the monitor and at people walking in from their flights. I glanced to my right and three or four seats up from me sat my father. He had died in May 1998. I was stunned and kept glancing back at him thinking it was maybe a man who looked like him but no it was definitely him, wearing his usual coat. I looked away again but when I looked back, he was gone. The only way he could have gotten out from where he was sitting was to get past me. And he didn't. This is a true story.

Three nuns are driving down a dark country lane one winters night. All of a sudden a vampire swoops down onto the car's bonnet forcing them to screech to a halt and jump from the car.

"Quick mother superior" one of the nuns says, "show him your cross!"

The mother superior stands up to the vampire and shouts "you fucking idiot, what the fuck are you doing jumping out in front of cars in the middle of the night? You could have killed us!"

My own father (RIP) always swore the following story is true. That during WW2 when he was about 10years old and living down near the North Strand he was out on the street playing one day, when a neighbour who was a soldier and had been away at war came walking up the street, and him and his friends said hello to him but he never replied, and kept walking. At the time they didnt think much of it. But about a week later a telegram/letter arrived for the family to say that the same guy has been killed in battle on the very day they seen him walking up the street.

My story isn't as spine chilling. Came home from hospital after having my second child. Ex went to collect my oldest from the minder. He ran into the house looking for me in the kitchen, I was in the front room (other end of the house). I walked out and it was my mother's face staring back at me from my son's body for a few seconds. When he charged me for hugs and kisses I was still rooted to the spot. My mom passed in '92

Not really a ghost story but when it happens it scares the living piss out of you. Sometimes when a "client" is in the morgue for a time they build up gases. Sometimes the gas goes up. Sometimes down. Being alone in the morgue at 3 in the morning and hearing a really loud bassy groan always chills the blood.

Some fairly freaky stories there.

Back in 2004 when living in Spain, a lad drowned in a hotel swimming pool which was across from a bar that my ex wife worked in.

She was the last person he ever saw because she served him his last drink, he walked across the road and into the pool.

So the Irish Star newspaper ran the story two or three days later.

I cut the story out and I copied (some of) the script for my own newspaper.

Anyway, I left the cutout on my home office desk and thought nothing of it.

One night later the home office light switch kept going on by itself. Obviously we kept switching it off. It just persistently went on. I'm no electrician but I know about switches!!! The room was freezing. Take into account that it was about 25? at night there.

I took the cutout out to the garden and used an aerosol and lighter to burn it.

Only his eyes in the picture went brown. It wouldn't even burn.

I called the only priest I knew, a Scottish man.

He came and blessed the house.

He reckoned the lad followed us home but was afraid of the dark. Me hadn't left properly.

The light switch never went back on by itself again.
