From Brendan in Australia:

I'm 18 years old and my ghostly sighting was about three nights ago. I was walking home from my girlfriend's house.

It was about 10:30 at night. It was cold and raining hard. I was taking a short cut to my house walking through a paddock (an area, usually enclosed, used especially for pasturing or exercising animals) on someone's farm and I was looking for a way to get over a barbed wire fence. I decided to just climb over it.

As I was climbing over the fence I saw a figure standing about 10 feet in front of me. I thought it might be the owner of the farm so, needless to say, I started to make a run for it - away from the man. After about 3 meters of running the same figure appeared, once again standing directly in front of me. I couldn't believe it. How did he . . . or it . . . get in front of me that fast?

As I stood there, frozen with fear and contemplating my next move, the man, or apparition, just disappeared. I stood there in the cold rain for what seemed to be an eternity. When I finally got home my mum said I looked as if I'd seen a ghost.
