What does it mean when you smell cigar smoke and no one smokes?

Question

This is weird and people will think I've lost it. We have just moved 150 miles from the house I grew up in. My father died in March 2 years ago. He did not smoke but shortly after he died I started smelling strong cigar smoke in my bedroom. I woke one night and saw a man standing where my computer tower was. When I blinked to clear my sleepy vision he was gone. He was wearing a brown plaid wool jacket. Dad never had a jacket like this that I know of. Mom sold the home place and we moved here 2 months ago. Last week while working on line the strong smell of cigar smoke returned. Am I losing it?

Answer 1

Ok I am glad o stumbled on this - we just put a new addition on our home and ever since we brought in furniture to our dining room I smell cigar smoke constantly- no one else smells it.  The furniture is preowned but the one and only owners never smoked- my husband thinks I'm nuts but the smell is making me crazy. I even put in one of those intermittent spray air fresheners and it has done no good.  I smell the freshener -just on top of the cigar smoke.

Answer 2

You are not alone.  I smell smoke at my work place and it's prohibited to smoke inside the buidling.  No one smells the smoke except for myself.  The building is fairly new 4 years old may be 5 at the most.  The other odd thing is sometimes I will smell it in my car and sometimes at home.  The smell of smoke varies...sometimes it's very strong and other days it could be very light.  I don't know what it is.
