I think many young children have ghostly experiences - children have the most vivid imaginations and interpretations of things unexplainable and swear "it" happened even into adulthood. Makes for great story telling though :) I remember the scent of wet Mary Maxim woolen mittens drying on the vents too, and the nauseating smell of souring bologna sandwiches waiting to be eaten at lunch and the hunger pains that followed. Salmon was served at supper with peas and mashed potatoes. Fish Friday. Yes. Thanks for the story - it brought back some memories.
