I do "believe" in ghosts...because I have seen a few! However, this story was told to me many years ago, by my then boyfriends mother. I have never forgotten it, nor will I ever forget the look on her face as she related it.
Harry was born in Germany, of German parents, in 1949. They were living with Harry's grandparents in a small village in East Germany while his father was away in the army. One evening Harry's mother had put him to bed - he was about six months old - and had gone back downstairs. Sometime later, she went to check on him. As she walked into the room, she saw a dark figure, appearing to come through the wall. She was obviously terrified but grabbed the sleeping Harry from his crib and ran downstairs with him. She told her father what she had seen but when he went to investigate there was nothing there.
A short time later they heard a commotion coming from the house next door. As they listened they heard screaming and crying. Harry's grandfather went and knocked to see what was wrong and if they could help in any way.
It would appear that the people next door had put their daughter to bed upstairs as usual. A while later the child cried out for her daddy. He went up to her and she seemed upset, as if she had had a bad dream....about a man coming through the wall to get her. She asked for a drink of water so he went downstairs to fetch her one. When he went back upstairs he found the little girl dead....her neck was broken.

Ghost on Staircase
Rev. Ralph Hardy, a retired clergyman from White Rock, British Columbia, took this now famous photograph in 1966. He intended merely to photograph the elegant spiral staircase (known as the "Tulip Staircase") in the Queen's House section of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England. Upon development, however, the photo revealed a shrouded figure climbing the stairs, seeming to hold the railing with both hands. Experts, including some from Kodak, who examined the original negative concluded that it had not been tampered with. It's been said that unexplained figures have been seen on occasion in the vicinity of the staircase, and unexplained footsteps have also been heard.
Courtyard Ghost
The 16th Century Hampton Court palace in south-west London is well known for alleged supernatural activity, but nothing suspicious has been caught on film before. Henry VIII lived here.However, in October 2003, this curious image was caught on the palace's video-security system.On several occasions security guards were alerted to an open fire door in an exhibition area of the palace. After securing the door each time, they returned to their office to view the footage to see who had opened them.On the first occasion the footage showed the doors flying wide open, but no evidence of why they had.On the second, the guards were stunned when a ghostly figure in period dress suddenly appeared on the screen and closed the doors. The same thing happened on a third day, but again no figure appeared.

I had a ghost...well a guardian angel or something....but no violence - just watching out for me as they do. Lucky for me or I'd have been hit by a car at 17.
