    My two year old started saying " ghost" all of a sudden, repeatedly. I caught a growl in my voice recorder. My camera somehow took 16 photos and it looks weird in animation with some object that isn't a body part bouncing. My 14 yr old felt a cold rush pass in front of him. I also heard loud breathing in my ear in a cell with nobody else in there. That was awesome.
