Never had a ghost encounter myself, not that I'd want one. But enough people have reported such encounters all over the world that I have no doubts that they exist. Whatever they are. Here's some ghostly encounters by famous people.
"Sting has claimed he once confronted a ghost which wandered into his room at the dead of night.
The singer, who sang Spirits In The Material World in the 1980s, said wife Trudie Styler also witnessed the figure, standing with a child in the corner of their bedroom.
Sting said he also experienced flying objects and mysterious voices in one of his homes in an interview to be aired by Radio 2 tomorrow.
He said: 'I would never have said I believe in ghosts, until I saw one - and I've seen a ghost with my own eyes.'
The musician, whose former band The Police recorded an album Ghost In The Machine, continued: 'I was in bed one night, a very old house I used to live in. And I woke up at three in the morning, bolt upright, looked into the corner of the room and thought I saw Trudie standing there with a child - our child - in her arms, staring at me.
'And I thought "well, that's strange - why is she standing in a corner, staring at me?".
'And I then reached next to me and there was Trudie, and I suddenly got this terrible chill. And she woke up and said "Gosh, who is that?" and she saw this woman and a child in the corner of the room.'
Sting told presenter Claudia Winkleman, in an interview to be broadcast tomorrow night at 10pm, that the figure simply disappeared.
He added: 'A lot of things happened in that house, a lot of flying objects and voices and strange, strange things happened.
'When you live in old houses you get this energy there. Intellectually, no I don't believe in them (ghosts), but I've experienced them on an emotional level.'

"Initially skeptical, Laura Linney became a believer after meeting one of the famed ghosts of Broadway's Belasco Theatre.
"It's absolutely haunted," she told host James Corden on The Late Late Show in 2017 of her former workplace. "I was not a believer. I had been told about the ghosts at the Belasco. There was a mysterious death of a chorus girl [at the theater]. Legend is that [during] final dress rehearsals, that's when the ghosts come out. I had forgotten this, and I was doing a play with Jane Alexander, and I turned to Jane Alexander, and I looked up to the upper balcony — there are two balconies there — and the upper balcony you can only get in from the outside, and those doors were locked, and I looked up, and there was a woman standing in the front row looking over with a blue dress and blonde hair. I just thought, 'Well, hello!' I looked back at Jane, and I looked back up, and she was gone."
The Ozark actress was further convinced that it had been a paranormal experience when she confronted the theater's house manager.
"I went to the house manager, and I said, 'Joe, I think I saw a ghost.' And he went, 'male or female?' I said, 'female.' And he went, 'blue dress, blonde hair?' "

Peter Jackson
"The Hobbit director recalled a terrifying experience from the '90s while he was filming Lord of the Rings on location in New Zealand.
"One night I woke up and there was a figure in the room," Jackson recalled to The Daily Telegraph. "She was really scary - her face was like a silent scream. She glided across the room and disappeared into the wall."
The Hollywood mastermind told his wife about it the next day and her response was even scarier: "She said, 'Was it the woman with a screaming face?' We had never spoken about it."

Keanu Reeves
"The "Matrix" star said that he was six or seven years old at the time.
"There's a doorway and all of a sudden we're looking over there and this jacket comes waving through the doorway, just an empty jacket," he said during an appearance on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in 2014. "There's no head, there's no body, there's no legs, it's just there. And then it disappears."
Reeves continued: "I was a little kid and I thought, 'OK, that's interesting,' and then I looked over at the nanny and she's like this [mouth agape]. And I'm like 'Oh wow, so that was real.'"
