A good read is "Ghosts In The Air", by Martin Cadin, now deceased.
It's a collection of stories of paranormal activity that airplane pilots have experienced in the air that they will relate to other pilots, but not to non-pilots for fear of being branded a nutcase. Cadin solicited responses in aviation magazines, aviation bulletin boards, etc. He discarded 90% of his responses and only used the ones for which there was absolutely no rational explanation.
A couple of examples. The Red Baron's WWI red Fokker tri-plane was seen in the skies over Europe a fair number of times during WWII. It would always pull in ahead of a lone Allied fighter plane and remain a certain distance ahead, even though their air speed was several times what a WWI fighter would have been capable of. It would eventually fade away. Enough different pilots experienced it so that it could not have been a figment of one pilot's imagination, or a hallucination of one pilot.
Then there was an airline captain with a plane load of passengers on what should have been a milk run from Chicago to Oakland. The Midwest was socked in in a snow storm, but they were 'way above it. Then a pregnant female passenger went into labor. Things got out of hand to a point where the captain had no choice but to declare an inflight medical emergency. He was diverted to Salt Lake City. He was on his approach to SLC down aptly named Diablo Canyon, strictly on instruments, socked in to where he couldn't even see his own wingtips. Suddenly a gentleman appeared beside the captain in the cockpit and a voice he recognized said, "Better turn left, Bob". Bob was a bit startled, and the gentleman said it again, "Turn left, Bob, NOW!".
Bob turned left. A couple of minutes later, they broke out under the clouds, and Bob saw his right wingtip was literally only a few feet from the canyon wall. The rest of the landing was routine, the lady had a baby boy and named it after the pilot. And the gentleman who appeared in the cockpit and told Bob to turn left was a buddy of his who had been dead for several years.
On my part, I have reason to believe I'm being followed around by the spirit of an old girlfriend who died relatively young without ever marrying. But that's another story.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work.
