Have you had a close encounter with dead spirit?

Okay November 1 is just around the corner, but this thing really happened on me. My father died when I was in second year high school. Two days after my father died I went inside our room alone. Wanting to have a moment alone and relax a bit after a tiring and lonely event. Our bed is a double deck, as I was about to lie down on the bed (1st level) I noticed my sister's books and mine were lying almost on the edge of the bed (2nd level). My automatic response is to, of course fixed the books and moved it on the middle of the bed, so that it won't fall. When I am about to lie down, all the books just fell. I mean all the books!That really scared me a lot. Prior to that, this I wasn't aware of, my relatives said that when we passed by in front of them (me and my sister), they smell lighted candles and flowers for dead people.
Had you had a close encounter with dead loves before? Mind to share it with me?
