well i was at my friend toms house over in Ohio and i was spending the night sense i had no where else to stay. well i was asleep and woke up at 230 with th sent of smoke in my nose. i ran into the kitchen and nothing was burning i ran all around and saw nothing so i ran to tom (my friend) and he said he didn't smell anything well e had to go into work for a three hours or so the next day and i stayed at his place alone. i was going through his things sorry to say looking for porn i smelled smoke again it seemed to be coming from the closet i opened and nothing was wrong but as i turned around what seemed like shoes were being thrown out of the closet. i ran out of the house to his neighbors and he wasn't home so i called tom up on my cell told him what happened but he said he was not gonna be home for a while he did say though that before he lived their a womens husband died in that house but he doesn't know how and she sold it

periods are your friend. i think you have a total of three sentences.

I honestly am confused as to what happened. maybe try rewording it?

okay. i have read that smelling smoke when there is nothing present can be a sign of an allergy or epilepsy . so first off if this keeps happening i would get it checked by a physician . just in case .
however that doesnt account for the shoes being thrown does it . could it have been that you opening the closet made them just tumble out due to them being badly stacked ( believe me you cant open a cupboard in this house without an hard hat on LOL) but in your heightened state of awareness you assumed ghost and ran ??

If this is not the case keep an eye out for any more activity and let us know . maybe check the houses history too .

It's not unsual for someone who has died in their house, to stick around and scare thoes who wish to reside there. I'd say that he died from smoke ventalition or he smoked and died of ill effects, maybe that is the reason your smelling smoke... Thanks for the story:)

Sorry Spiritual soul, I didn't notice your post and you make a good point as well, allergies and epilepsy are highly connected to the smell of smoke or burnt toast, and it's always good to rule out the logical.

I think you need to ask Tom, more about the history of the house. It wouldnt surprise me if there was a fire at one time, even hundreds of years ago. Smells of any kind can be a focal point of the haunting. Now if the husband was a smoker and died of that, it could very well be him, sort of grounded to the house, looking for his wife. Get more information and let us know. JN

Allergies, many kinds of sinus issues, bronchitis, brain tumors, migraine (or migraine without pain), there are many conditions that can cause olfactory hallucinations. I wouldn't worry too much but as spirtual soul mentioned, if it becomes an ongoing occurance it's a good idea to mention this to your doc. I occasionally smell kerosene, it's very annoying.

Has your friend ever had a house fire? Just asking because we kept a couple of things from our burned out place, mostly photos and momentos. We stored them in "air tight" containers and never smelled smoke. But for many years after, occasionally somebody would mention smelling smoke in the direction of the containers. We'd sometimes ask visitors, most said no so I guess it was just people with a very sensitive sense of smell.

I'm not saying it's not paranormal. Quite possibly it is. These are just some other possibilities that occurred to me, and best to only talk about what you know, eh?
