Below is an account of a scientist and his wife seeing an apparition.

"A distinguished scientist saw upon the stair a little man who couldn’t possibly have been there because he was a ghost. And the distinguished scientist didn’t believe in ghosts. Absolutely. Positively. Definitely. But no matter how he tried to rationalize it, there was the little man upon the stair. He was about five-feet-three, heavy set and he was odd, even for a ghost. His body seemed to be composed of luminous ribbons with a mass of them wrapped around his head like a shawl. Yet although he was incandescent, he did not light up even the darkest part of the staircase. 

The distinguished scientist noticed this much before he decided that since there were absolutely, positively and definitely no ghosts he had probably seen nothing at all. But the next night, there was the little luminous man again, plodding heavily up the stairs ahead of him. This happened several more times but the scientist still said nothing at all to his wife. Until one night going upstairs to bed first she saw the luminous man just ahead of her. She uttered an exclamation and the figure looked around. She noticed deep-set eyes and that, although the feet were not touching the steps, his knees were bending as though it required an effort for him to ascend. The next morning she mentioned the apparition to her husband and he confessed for the first time that he had been seeing it as well. They told only their closest friends but one of them informed an investigator of the Society for Psychical Research. It took about a year of persuasion before the scientist, worried about possible 'vulgar publicity,” agreed with his wife to sign an affidavit of their experience and then only the pseudonym of 'Dr. Johnson.'  The wife of the distinguished scientist (who also had a distinguished war record) said her husband had made every effort to find a normal explanation for the figure but finally had to admit he could find none."

The headline in the article below talks of a "Goshen Ghost" seen by a hundred. In the text the claim is made that hundreds saw the ghost.

We read below of a Conley family that had a spooky encounter: "Family members said a boy ghost crawled across their legs and sat on a bed with them."

In the account which you can read here,  we have two named witnesses (Tom Cliffe and Barry Buckley) who claim to have seen over five days what the article calls an apparition. The account below from 1959 describes thousands in Warsaw, Poland flocking to a church where it was reported that a luminous apparition was seen atop the church.  The observation report stretches over a few days, with some claiming to have seen something compelling, but others unimpressed.

We read here that six females reported seeing a golden-haired female figure floating above a meadow in communist Yugoslavia.  The report enraged communist officials, who began persecuting those associated with the report. We read that "at least five people had been jailed in connection with the apparition." Somewhat similar responses often occur these days in the US and Europe, where those reporting the paranormal may be subjected to various types of abuse such as gaslighting and psychiatric mudslinging.  

The news story here is entitled "Four Cadets See 'Ghost.' " We read, "Four cadets at the U.S. Military Academy, in reports independent of each other, say that they have an apparition in a room in one of the
cadet barracks." The account below tells of "50 to 100" seeing an apparition of the famous historical figure Joan of Arc.

The accounts given above are only a few of many cases in which more than one witness reported seeing the same apparition. For many other cases different from the ones above, see my posts below:

Below is a diagram serving to remind you of the philosophical relevance of apparition sightings.  Apparition sightings are part of a body of interrelated evidence indicating that we are souls rather than mere outputs of brains.  The items in this diagram are discussed here.
