Gaol jitters: City hosts World Ghost Convention

THE last time Tina saw her grandfather was last Thursday. The only odd thing about the encounter was that he had been dead for 15 years.

“The funny thing was that it wasn’t really frightening at all. He looked just like he had always looked; dressed in an old tweed jacket with a cord trousers and wearing a shirt and tie. He was always a natty dresser and liked to look his best.

“He was doing the crosswords, something he loved doing. He looked up from his newspaper and gave me a smile. It sounds spooky but it wasn’t. I was so happy to see him. I loved my Granddad very much and still do. It felt good to know that, wherever he is, he is still thinking about me.”
