Here is my ghost story. Well, to be honest, I've never been one to truly believe in ghosts, but this experience still gives me goosebumps when I think about it. My first partner and I were visiting Salzburg Austria back in the early 90s. We booked a room in a very old B&B called the Altstadhotel. We had an exhausting day of exploring beautiful Salzburg and retired to our room after a final evening stroll along the Salzach river. We both fell asleep quickly under the down comforters. Shortly after 2:00 a.m., however, we both woke up shrieking simultaneously. We had both just experienced the same phenomenon. Both of us felt a presence hovering directly over us. In the moment it felt very real and very malevolent. I had broken out in a cold sweat and Craig was trembling uncontrollably. When we compared notes on what just happened to us, on went the lights for the rest of the night. Neither one of us slept a wink and we checked out of the hotel and into another the very next morning.
How about you? Do you believe in spooks? Do you have your own ghost story?

Thanks to tonight's Top Comments contributors! Let us hear from YOU
when you find that proficient comment.
From Land of Enchantment:
I believe Lying eyes' version of a touching story about a firefighter. One of those public servants who some people seem to begrudge a decent pension. Found in Meteor Blades' Open thread for night owls.
From Dave in Northridge:
gougef wasn't mincing any words when he or she assessed the diary Kos wrote about Dick Morris's election predictions. It just struck the 14-year old part of my brain as very funny.
And from you diarist, Steveningen:
I was completely remiss when I made the following nomination on Sunday evening and failed to submit it. I got distracted by news of Sandy. My apologies.
In Kieth930's diary Congratulations to San Francisco, Neko608 cracked me up with this great slam to CNN.
