Combining both responses here.
First, the grandmother thing. You never know. I'm one for coincidence usually.. but, that may be different in your case. It just all depends on the level of what you think a spirit could do. I haven't made up my mind yet as I don't know what I experienced was what in different extremes of paranormal happenings. What I do know, not believe, is that they are there, and they do interact.
And we'll be like Shaggy and Scooby Doo. Except I always seem to have too many scooby snacks and investigate too much sometimes.
I was just thinking back to the one time I actually saw a face of something.. I was walking home just after dusk in the summer in 2006. There was a slew of old houses on the way that no one had lived in for years, they'd been for sale since I was a little kid and grew up about a mile away (you had to go past these houses to get to the center of the city). I remember looking up and seeing a pale girl staring at me from one of these houses in the third story of an 1850s house.. curtain slightly pulled back. I watched her and she watched me for as long as I could before she vanished from my sight line further down the street. That house is still for sale today I think.
Thats the only one I can think of that might be a neighborhood kid checking out the "scary house". But she sure didn't look at all real.
YEah, it's hard to really understand it all. I believe that spirits/ghost/creatures, etc, all exist, but that doesn't mean that everyone will interact with them. Does that make sense?
And fuck, that's so creepy as shit! I used to love reading the unexplained stories on Cracked.com. There's the story of the one bridge over in the UK I believe that is literally the dog death bridge. They've got an ongoing record of dogs going and committing suicide off a certain bridge for no explainable reason! like, WTF?
That's so weird. I'll have to search for that one when I get home. If you really want to give yourself a bit of a fright.

Stories of fiction, but they strike a nerve when you've had experiences or know people who have had experiences. Read the top twenty. They all take like 5-15 minutes each or something like that.
But yeah, some people just aren't either in the right spot for activity or just are too skeptical and pass it all off as probably most interactions are just cold spots, shadows out of the corner of your eye, whispers, etc..
