Read; 'Where no birds Sing' Kiwi book, Short musings, on this topic ,from hunters and DOC staff. Some describe remarkably-similar stories to peoples experience here. My brother and I both 'interacted' with a ghost in an old farm-house. We were able to identify the 'ghost' from old photo's, after talking to the Land-lord. He told us the person had died in a fire in the house 30yrs before (one of his family). The house had been repaired/modernised after the fire, one half was 20's and the other 50's. The family had never lived in the house after the death, only renting it out. We were among a few people, who had seen the ghost,over the years. There was nothing dark or scary, other than the clarity of the figure, who looked as real as a living person.
