This is something I’ve always asked myself, and I’ve always been somewhat of a skeptic. I was always the type of person who had to see it to believe it, but something happened about 13 years ago that changed my mind. My father-in-law at the time had just passed away very unexpectedly from a massive stroke. My husband and I were left to take care of some land and several thousand head of cattle. The only problem was that we had no idea where he kept the keys that opened the gates to all the property he tended to.

After several days passed, we were beginning to get desperate on how to gain access to the property. I was in my car on the way into town, and I heard his voice inside my head. It was his voice; there was no doubt about it. He clearly stated, “Look under the passenger side seat of my truck.” I immediately had goose bumps, and turned around to where we had parked and locked his truck. I opened the passenger side door and underneath the seat sat a plastic box full of keys. I could not believe what I was seeing; it was the keys to open all of the gates.

Since then, I have remarried and I continue to search for evidence of ghosts. I am still somewhat of a skeptic, always thinking there is some other excuse of why I am seeing or hearing what I do, but when all other evidence is debunked, the only other thing it can be is paranormal.

My husband and I are a part of a paranormal investigation team, and we have seen a few strange things in our 5 years in the group. I have even been scratched by something unseen, my husband has been pushed and we have heard things that were not there.

I do believe ghosts exist. I believe some of them do not realize they have passed, and are living their lives as if they were still alive. Some know they have passed, but have unfinished business, and can’t pass over until they complete it.

There are lots of ghost hunting shows on television now, and some of them I watch. But I do believe that some of the shows are staged to get more ratings.

“When you have eliminated all of which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” As once said by Sherlock Holmes, this is the view I take on ghosts.

Whether you believe in ghosts or not it’s always a fascinating topic to read about. No, I don’t think ghosts are up in the attic dragging chains around and moaning, but I do believe our loved ones who have passed away come to visit us and just want to make sure we are okay.
