U speak with an air of arrogance. Alamak, usually they look for us not the other way around. No wonder you can never find one.
For myself, I believe spirits (aka ghosts) exists even b4 I encountered with one. That day was in 2001 around 9pm at my workplace. I work in Jurong Island Petrochem. It was the start of my shift and was collecting routine samples around the refinery.
I was at this particular sample collection point near the large crude tanks, which is quiet and far from the noise of the refinery machinery. On top and area around me were large pipes with a walking bridge across.
While I was almost halfway filling the sample bottle saw at the corner of my eye something like a bundle of white cloth lodge on the side railing of that bridge. Didn't think much of it except thought later need to remove it as it's a fire hazard. Only after collecting the sample and turn to look at the "cloth" to my horror it looks like a person in white cloth covering over it's head and seated on the railing without feet but can see it was swinging it's legs back and forth enjoying watching me! I was only 5 metres from it though it was at a higher elevation, ie on the bridge. Luckily the "face" was black and empty as if photoshoped away, if not I might have fainted there and then.
I had goose bumps all over but try not to panic, walk to my bicycle (my only form of transport within the plant) and cycle as fast as possible back to my control room. I stayed in my office until morning. Took urgent leave for the next night.
What I can say is the thing was merely observing me and did nothing else. I was only an hour into my 12hour shift work and couldn't possible be sleepy to imagining things.
What an enounter and up until now no more such encounters but my other colleagues have their fair share of other sightings too in the refinery. I guess it's part of the "hazard" of working in this type of industry.
