Cigar butts
I don't believe in ghosts or have ever experianced any strange occurances except once. I used to work in a shoe shop that was in a fairly old building. When I started there was a rumour going around that the stock room down stairs was haunted. Now I'm not sure many of us actually believed this but it was pretty scary nonetheless, especially as you had to go practically all the way to the bottom of the stairs before you got to the light switch, so we decided to name the supposed ghost Federick.
We used to say morning and good night to him everyday.

One evening we were all in the staff room after work having a drink as it was someones leaving do. now you weren't allowed to smoke in the staff room but it had been decided on this one occasion that the only smoker could have one or two since the boss wasn't there. He was given a mug that someone had been drinking wine out of about 5 minutes previously (classy I know, don't even get me started on the assistant manager drinking wine out of a baby cup!. Anyway the point was the mug was definately empty when he got it, he had 2 cigarettes before we left and he was the only one smoking.

The next morning I got in to work to find the assistant manager on her hands and knees picking up cigarette butts and, even more bizarrely, cigar butts from the floor and there was more in the sink. Now unless we really did have a ghost who liked the odd cigar now and again we have absolutely no explaination for where they came from!

Maybe Freddy just wanted to join in the fun!
