If you mean like in The Shining, The Ring or 13 Ghosts then no. But I've had some experiences (some in daylight) that I can't really explain and the article didn't cover.
There was a neighbor of my parents who was ill and went to the hospital. I went to my parent's house after work and saw her outside, in her house coat watching some kids play. I was about half a city block away and she was the only adult out. I look away to place my CD player in my bag and when I looked up she was gone. This was a BIG lady and even when I lived with my parents she never moved very fast. When I got to her house her kids came out. I asked how their mom was during and they told me she died that morning. I'm kinda of glad I didn't pose my first thought and asked where is your mom, she was just her a minute ago. Some of the kids playing were her grandchildren, so if your looking in a spiritual sense I guess she wanted to see them play one last time. So as far as the article is concerned, I was not tired, it was in the afternoon in late spring early summer so there were no shadows. During that time pagers were in not cell phones and my family had a rule not to call each others job except for emergencies so I would not have known about her death unlessl my family called me at home, when I was at my parents house, or how I actually found out. I also did not partake in Happy HourWould you care to elaborate? I am genuinely curious.
I enjoy watching Ghost Hunters with the gf. If its not heavily edited for maximum tv pleasure, some of the evidence they find on there is hard to dispute.

Back in like 1990 I saw some weird shit in the sky one night over my then-girlfriends house. I went in and said my hello's to her parents. I laughed and said that I must be really tired because I thought I saw an angel in the sky. Her mom got all quiet and said that her dad had died that day years ago. Coincidence? Probably, but who's to say.
The article is no longer there...ghosts in prostest?
I still believe. I had an incident when I was a kid (although, I dont remember much of it. My family has recordings of me talking about it, so I know it's true... ANYWHO..)
When I was a kid, I always talked about my imaginary friend Red Head who lived in the locked up apartment in our basement. My rents never thought much of it until we started excavating the house to make a down-hill garage (so it'd be under my house, pretty much.) and make the kitchen bigger. When we started excavation, we found an old chained shut door. Behind the DOOR was an old apartment with an old fridge and a bed wiring thing.
I mean, my parents could have cooked up the entire story and recorded me AFTER i knew about the underground apartment.. But uh.. that's a little far fetched. I call shenanigans.
OH RIGHT, then my aunt found an old article in newspapers about a man with red hair died in said apartment and the body laid there for a week before the landlords above him found him. Creeeeepy? Yes.
I still dont go in that house. It gives me the creeps.
i've got a "ghost story".
Several years ago i came into work at one of the nightclubs i'm employed at, around 9am, and one of the cleaning guys was still hanging around. He mentioned that the door to "the garden court" wouldn't open, and he thought something inside the room had fallen against the door. The garden court is a bar that's been closed off for several years and is just used for storage of junk, basically. Old chairs, tables, etc. The cleaning guys use the kitchen area for the sink.
I check the door, it doesn't budge. I have the key, so it's not locked, it just won't open. I think "ok, the bolt is stuck because the door knob mechanism is fucked up", so i get a hammer and break the knob off (door knobs are cheap), and remove the bolt.
The door still does not open.
I grab a metal box (a sawsall case) and use that to hit the door. After three swings, the door opens up enough for me to reach my arm inside. There's a chair against the door. I look at the cleaning guy and say "oh, it's just a chair", and then i think "how the hell did the chair get up against this door, since there is no other way in or out of this room?"
?
I throw the chair away from the door, the door still won't open completely, so i keep hitting it with the sawsall case. It finally flies open. No explanation for why it would have been stuck. The chair was weird enough, but there was nothing that could have kept the door shut.
I go downstairs and tell the story to a bartender, and she says "you know what's even more weird? The minute you walked into the bar, the cash register stopped working."
true story. I have no explanation.
Honestly, when a ghost shows up and says "boo!", then i'll fully believe in ghosts, but i have had some odd experiences.
OMG something weird happened. I can't immediately explain it, so it must be something that has never been proven to exist. The evidence is indisputable.

Possibly St. Elmo's fire?
