Ghosts I Have Seen, and Other Psychic Experiences

"Ghosts I Have Seen and Other Psychic Experiences" by Violet Tweedale is a recounting of the author's strange interactions with the spirit world, likely from the early 1900s. Tweedale shares her supernatural encounters and thinks about the link between the human soul and a bigger spiritual understanding. She thinks about memories, what it means to be alive, and how ghosts play a role in her own spiritual journey. She starts by talking about her first times seeing spirits as a child, particularly two named "Silk Dress" and "Rumpus". "Silk Dress" was a ghost whose rustling sound could be heard on the stairs, while "Rumpus" made loud noises that would wake her and her brother up. These events led Tweedale into investigating psychic phenomena, wondering about reality, fear, and her connection to something beyond what we can touch, setting the stage for her to learn more about life after death and spiritual existence.
