My mum was in hospital in a very weakened state, a month or so before she died.
My sister went to visit her and ma kept going on about how she'd seen our father walking up and down the corridor. He'd died about 7 years before, so my sister thought ma was hallucinating due to her illness and the cocktail of drugs that she was on.
The old girl had a lifelong belief in ghosts so she was convinced it was our dad's ghost pacing up and down, 'waiting' for her.
My sister was trying to explain that there was no such thing as ghosts, ma was mistaken, just relax, when she looked up and saw our father's ghost walking down the corridor!
Ma shouted 'See, I told you so - it's your father, he is waiting for me!'
My very startled sister jumped to her feet and ran after the ghost, which turned round, stared into her eyes and ...
... in a strong Coventry accent said "Excuse me love, do you know where the visitor's toilets are, I'm busting!"
(Sis did say that the old chap's resemblance to our father was striking from a distance, though close up it was obviously not him. Or his ghost!)
