Don't worry about it. As has been pointed out elsewhere round here I can be a pedantic twat.

I don't know exactly what you saw and the order in which things happened but my inclination when I hear of ghostly tales (and my own - I've been party to a couple myself) is to think one of two things (or a mixture of the two).
Firstly, the mind can play an awful lot of intense tricks on us. Making us see hear smell taste feel things that aren't there. The chances of that happening after one odd event are increased. So one slightly weird thing happening can lead to the perception of other even weirder things happening. But the perception is being played with and probably shouldn't be relied on. That perception can also spread to others as well. At Fatima some 100 000 folks were documented to have observed something that rational heads say must have been a hallucination.
The second thing I think is that we effect our environment in ways we (or modern mainstream science) hasn't fully explained yet. Somehow we can 'make things happen' I very much doubt anyone has ever figured how to do that consciously and it is only speculative as no-one has ever proved it definitively (I don't see how they could if it isn't deliberate) but it seems a lot more likely to me than the haunting thing.
But like I say, who knows? - There's fuck loads more than can be dreamed of in our philosophy
sure I read that somewhere.
