Seeing is believing

DESPITE being reasonably levelheaded, I believe I had a paranormal experience one evening when I entered my well-lit bathroom to get an antacid. Seated on the toilet was a female figure. As I jerked my head upwards to take in her entire image, it faded.

Later, while we were watching TV, my wife said: “That is the colour of the blouse my lady wears.” When I asked which lady, she confided that she sometimes saw a woman walking in the dining room.

My wife is not superstitious, yet how do we account for what we both witnessed and consider a reality?
