Ghost Story

Last night the maid (Siti) informed us (or rather me, since she can't really comms with Lena well) that she saw a ghost. Ghost? How'd u know its a ghost? (do they sort of like wave to you and say, "Hey lookit here me a ghost!!"?). Siti related that while she was downstairs early in the morning (around 5am) a women with long hair and white dress (I have to admit, at this point, that IS a standard-issued ghost attire) called on to her from a window of an empty flat (yep, the flat is actually at the same level as mine and is vacant, on sale sort of). They talked and the alleged ghost told her (in Javanese, how convenient?) that she, the ghost, has been there for years.

I have no question as to the validity or truth of her story but what interest me now is this question: Do I have a mentally imbalance maid? Was the story a product of some psychoses or neuroses? Or was it a lie, a fabrication, that have a role in her bigger scheme of things? And oh yes, am I paranoid? (No I am not...but will she set the house on fire when we are all asleep? AARRRGGH!)

To use an analogy of a country in a 911 alert, I am colored ORANGE. I am on a lookout now for signs of deep cognitive imbalances that may manifest itself in her daily chores. (Sigh....she could be telling the truth. But still.)
