Do ghosts steal things?

I think the ghost in my house does. I've seen it numerous times and it still occasionally freaks me out. I was at home for the weekend a few weeks ago and when I was in the bathroom, brushing my teeth, I was aware of the ghost standing to the side of me. For a few minutes, I was just aware - it didn't occur to me that everyone was asleep and that there should be no one in the room with me. With it did click, I freaked a little but when I turned, I couldn't see it.

Anyway, I am not sure why but it does take things. The incident which upset me the most was when I took off my cross necklace, bought for me by my deceased grandad, and the cross fell off the chain, onto the floor. I looked down and it was by my foot. I put the chain on the desk and bent down to pick up the cross and it was gone. I searched everywhere and couldn't find it. Since then, the furniture in the room has been moved and everything and I've still never found it. I loved that cross - it had such a lot of sentimental value. I've no idea why the ghost would take it but it did.

I think sometimes people just say it though when things go missing. I'd imagine most of the time, things go missing because people move them / they get knocked off the side etc rather than being taken by some other being.

When I was young my mother swore our house had a ghost. She even named her-Hazel. Anytime something was missing she would tell us Hazel stole it. I never saw any visable signs, just some weird noices every once and awhile.

As long as it wasn't Hazel Blears I don't think there was much of a problem tbh.

If there's a single thread where this smily fits, it's this one.
