A ghost at the postoffice
Many years ago I worked as a night watchman at the post office. It consisted of several rooms: a big one where clients were served and some others for staff only. Usually, after all workers went home I remained in the rooms for stuff, and turned off the light in the main room.
One day in my shift I went to the main room wishing to do something. And before I managed to turn on the light on, I saw a black cat sitting on one of the tables and starring at me. I turned on the light and to my big surprise the cat was gone! I searched the room thoroughly, but with no luck. I couldn't hear any sounds of the cat also.
I turned off the light and went to my place. I returned to the main room again several hours later, and saw the cat's eyes glowing in the dark before turning on the light and no cat after that.
I was a little bit scared and spent the rest of the night thinking of the ghost and why it had appeared to me.
Nonetheless I had some doubts and decided to go to the main room one more time in the morning. I searched the place yet again and this time I finally found a normal cat sitting between a large cabinet and the wall. Somehow it managed to sneak in the post office without being seen by anybody and was sitting very quietly all the time leaving its refuge only when there was nobody in the room.
So do ghosts exist? Maybe, but I haven met one yet :)

A ghost at the post office
Many years ago, I worked as a night watchman at the post office. It consisted of several rooms: a big one where clients were served ("attended to") and some others for staff only. Usually, after all the workers went home, I remained in the rooms for stuff staff, and turned off the light in the main room.
One day, in on my shift, I went to the main room wishing ("wanting/looking") to do something. And Before I managed to turn on the light on, I saw a black cat sitting on one of the tables and starring staring at me. I turned on the light, and, to my big surprise, the cat was gone! I searched the room thoroughly, but with no luck. I couldn't hear any sounds of the cat, also either.
I turned off the light and went to my place. I returned to the main room again several hours later, and saw the cat's eyes glowing in the dark before turning on the light and finding/seeing no cat after that.

Somehow, it had managed to sneak in ("into") the post office without being seen by anybody and was had been sitting very quietly all the the whole/entire time, leaving its refuge only when there was nobody in the room.
