quite awhile ago, I asked if anyone here was ever haunted by olfactory ghosts. I have one in my house. I think it is one of the old farm wives who lived in my remodeled farmhouse years ago. Sometimes I smell breakfast very clearly. I smell coffee brewing, sausage or bacon cooking. I can smell the hot griddle, and sometimes toast. I have smelled post roasts and baking pies and bread. It is very clear and obvious. Sometimes it is in the middle of the night. Sometimes in midmorning, or other non-meal times. It is not my cooking.

I do not live near anyone, so I am not smelling the neighbors' cooking. No neighbors are close enough. This often happens when the house is completely closed - no windows or doors open.

I know the lady who is the niece of the people who sold us the house. She showed me where the old woodburning stove was in the house. It was in what is now the downstairs bedroom. It makes perfect sense that I am picking up on these aromas.

I find it interesting that someone else is having experiences with aromas. I hope you enjoyed your experience. When it happens here, I enjoy mine.
