Is it normal to think that you've seen a ghost?

Okay, there's been a friendly ghost in my house for years that does little to no activity. I know it's there because of an experience when I was a kid. Now I'm 22 almost 23 and haven't had any encounters of it. Today, I decided to sleep on the couch (I do this a lot) around 4pm and then I woke up at 10pm. It's really dark and the only things that gives out light are either electronic objects (like VCR, house alarm, etc) and the windows. I happened to look over at the opposite side of the room and I've seen this dark figure standing there. From my quick judging, I'd say that it was about 5'8" (172.72 cm) in height. My brother was still awake in another room and I told him what I saw. He said that it's a coincidence because our grandmother went to the hospital today to see her brother. Maybe that was her brother that I saw...

Is this a normal experience?

    It's overly pragmatic to say there is no such thing. It's basically calling those of us (I've experienced a ghost....working on having a house "cleaned" as I speak) liars. Arrogant to think we, on our plane of existence, are all that exists.

    Some people are born with a sixth sense, a method of communicating with non living beings. (Ghosts, guardian angels, etc.) My grandma can see ghosts and my aunt can hear them. People don't believe, but I KNOW it's true, my cousin's guardian angel is her sister who died from miscarriage. Ghosts are real, period.

    We see with our minds, not with our eyes. Our eyes send us basic information but this is by no means the only thing with which we build a picture in our minds. We can see things that are not there, because our brain just got it wrong.

    There are 2 reasons for this. Some time if we wake up before our dreams state or are in the meddle of our deep sleep state. We well wake up but can't move for a few minutes. The other reason is if it was was a family member maybe he just want to say good buy before he's goes to the other side. And another thing das he know what happen to him. They usually have unfinished business. Usually questions about there family, friends, work mates and nahbours and if he starts make ing sounds and doing things to you. That the way he is telling you how he died. Feaky ha
