isn't there. Was sat here this morning and suddenly got the smell of pipe smoke. I was the only one in the house and I haven't taken up pipe smoking.

Yes I do, and so does my husband. The smell is different in every house we have lived in. We have had fag smoke, cakes baking, oranges peeling. Makes you think doesn't it? Deanna X

dawnie, its probably one of your departed loved ones just letting you know they are there, did any of them used to smoke a pipe?

Yes I quite often smell cigarette smoke in this room - no-one else can though! can't work out who it is - my grandad was the only one who smoked that I know of, so maybe it's him. Maz. XX

None on my side that I know of but hubbys grandad did. Funny thing was this morning hubby sat in a chair and behind him on the windowsill are two pictures one of each of his grandads. Only one could be seen and I said you really have got his ears and he said which one and told him I could only see one. Hubby opened curtain more so both pictures were visible. Perhaps he was saying thank you.

I sometimes smell smoke here too. It's usually towards the bottom of the stairs but we have no smokers in the house. Others in the house smell it too and it soon goes. There's usually a comment of ' The ghost's here again'. It doesn't bother us, but I do wonder why it's here. Gwyn
