The apparition
I'll start with how I saw him. One morning, I was walking up the main platform from behind the cows. At the beginning of the platform, if you hang a right, there's an old silo room with a door going straight to the outside. This morning was a clear, sunny spring thaw day, so the door was open to let sunshine and fresh air in.
I was just walking on, minding my own business, when I looked toward the silo room. I caught a flash of a dark silhouette of a man's hatted head and shoulders ducking down and away from me, very quickly.
This immediately got my attention. It didn't go against my inclination so strongly that I was scared, but I was sorting doing a hard wut. So I dropped what I was doing and walked to the room, thinking it may have been my dad, because it had similar clothes and a close outline to him. I crested the door to see...
Nobody. I was starting to get a little nervous. I popped outside, checked around the edge of the silo.
Nobody.
I came back inside, feeling a little freaked out. My Dad was just coming down from the milkhouse. I grabbed him and asked, "Did you just go around through the silo room?"
He looked at me, no expression on his face. No answer.
"Did you?" My voice was getting a little pushed, since this was weird for him.
"No," he said. "Why?"
"I thought I just saw you go around out the silo room. You ducked and turned away from me, so I went to go see."
My Dad just grinned, and looked up and away from me to find my Mom in the barn, then hollered, "Anon just saw the barn ghost!"
---
The second time this guy was sighted was when my sister came tearing into the barn. She was booking it pretty fast, and scrambled up to my dad. "There's a guy in the pasture!" was her greeting.
My Dad looked at her. "Where?"
"Just right across the street, he just rounded the lilac trees!"
Dad dropped what he was doing and headed out the door. My Mom, who was sitting on one of the chemical barrels, frowned at my sister. "What did he look like?"
"I dunno really, I only saw him from the back. He was dressed in a white t-shirt and jeans. I thought he may have been one of Charlie's guys, so I called to him and told him that Dad was in the milkhouse. He never turned around."
My Dad came back in, but didn't say a word. He picked up what he had been doing and resumed. My Mom asked him if anyone was out there. He shrugged.
Silence.
"I believe you," my dad said. "But I just..." and shrugged again. The matter was dropped.
Another sighting from my sister. She was walking up the main platform when she saw a guy's outline dart very quickly from standing next to the cow at the end of the line. Quickly enough for her to be alarmed, and she dropped what she was doing, and pursued him.
As she rounded to the place where he was, he was ducking around another corner, to the old part of the barn. She followed him again, and he had vanished.
M Dad is a really practical guy. He's down to earth, and isn't into ghosts and stuff. But he knows what he's seen, and that all there is to it.
One time my Dad was moving around small square bales of hay. These things are kind of assholes, because when they get moved around, they tend to change shape and leave gaps in between each other. At the moment, Dad was walking on top of the pile of square bales, when he slipped, and his leg went straight down a long hole in between a few dozen rows.
As he fell, he could have sworn he felt something almost protective around him, before he landed. It was kind of scary, because he fell straight to the hip. He explained later, it was one of those moments where he should have had a broken leg, but didn't. He gives credit to whatever was with him then.
I have a feeling it's the guy we see around the barn. As my mom says, he likes to check in on his old farm. That's what old farmers do: they keep track of their place.
Final sort of weird apparition
The upper part of my house has a completely different feel from the lower part. It's palpably heavy, and your hair tends to stand up on end if you stay up there too long. When my other sister was younger and lived in the house, she had a weird experience.
She was getting ready for bed up in her room with the door open, when she heard footsteps in the attic. Now, the attic is crammed full of shit from two generations ago, the boards are rotting out, and there are raccoons and bats living in there. No one ever really goes into the attic, my parents were downstairs, and my brother wasn't home.
There was no fucking way anybody was in the attic.
But she could see someone block the light thrown from the halogen porch light, from inside the attic. Just sort of slid in front of the crack between the door and the jamb and stayed there.
She slammed her bedroom door shut.
