Suggested by Shaker vashti_lives: "This is one of my favorite small talk questions: Do you believe in ghosts? And, correspondingly, have you ever seen a ghost? Do you know anyone who's ever seen a ghost?"
I don't believe in ghosts and I have never seen one.
However.
One of my aunts had a previous husband who died, and she and my uncle both believed he haunted their house. We'd be sitting in the living room visiting, and we would hear the sound of someone stomping back and forth across the floor upstairs, even though no one was up there. My aunt would tilt her face upward and yell, "Knock it off! You're bein' agitatin'!" and then it would stop. I always found it rather amusing, and completely unexplainable.
