Oooo this is a very cool story! I love anything with ghosts and stuff.
C does have a friend that can sometimes hear people's thoughts and see the dead. I think he took too many "trips" if you get what I mean! But hey, maybe that was his own personal "key" to unlock that ability. We all went to this old hotel in L.A. once for a giant party - supposedly the oldest in L.A. And we were all down in the basement where the bathrooms were. Well his friend and him went in the bathroom and when they came out his friend was totally white and shaking and talking about blood all over the walls and C said he felt like he was going to be sick. The whole ride home this guy talked about all the bad shit that had happened in the hotel. Now I don't know if that's something someone could research or whatever but he did seem truly shaken and C said he felt really fucked up just being there. Like the "vibe" was just horrible.
Well that's the closet thing I've got to a ghost story. I'd like to see a ghost someday.
