Have you ever seen a ghost or encountered anything spooky?

I am a strong sceptic and so the fact that I have a ghost story is un nerving in itself. I lived for a couple of years in a sandstone cottage built in 1826 called Emily Cottage and during winter enjoyed a big open fire. Each night I would load up the fire before going to bed to keep the place warm overnight. One night I had been out till about eleven and so did not load the fire up before going to bed. About 2.30 am I woke with a strong desire to go downstairs and load the fire it was a real compolsion. Even though I had an electric blanket on and was not cold. When I had loaded up the fire and it was raging I was standing in front of it and had a flash of movement from my right side and then there was a void of warmth coming from the fire in an area about the size of a small teenage person. My investigations showed that there was a girl of 12 who died in a fire at the house in the 1840's. Even though I am still sceptical I do know what happen and can not explain it.
