I’m confused. By three-dimensional, do you mean a ghost that actually has substance like a human being or one that simply “looks” three-dimensional? The ghosts, or whatever they were, we saw that day “looked” three-dimensional, but they were spirits and spirits do not have substance.

I haven't had anything really to add to this thread as I have not personally experienced anything like this. I have, though, heard of people experiencing 3 dimensional ghosts.
My paternal grandfather told the story of seeing his dead brother appear just as if he were still living. His brother had died as a child, and this appearance happened many years after his death.
My grandfather told this story to my parent's pastor at the time, and that pastor told him it was the devil, not his brother, that he saw. I have always felt so awful that this was told to my grandfather, when I think it is utter bull. I have always hoped that he didn't believe it either.

One of the things that bothers me most about Christians who say ghosts are demons is that there is no reason for a demon to appear as a ghost. What would the ghost your grandfather saw gain by appearing in the shape of his brother? And what would the devil gain by appearing as two spirits at a fish pond? Demons appearing in the shape of the dead just doesn't make any sense.

I don't believe in demons, but if they did exist and were sent on a mission to mislead humans, I'm sure they could come up with something more convincing than taking the form of ghosts.

If we saw a solid 3D ghost in the street or a pub etc, how would we know it was a ghost and not a real person?

You may not know. The only way you could know is if you knew for sure that person that you are seeing had died, or if it suddenly disappears, or does something else living people can't do.

No, there wasn't anything unusual leading up to the encounter, but there was something else unusual that I didn't include in my narration. When we were talking with the woman and boy, another resident and someone visiting her were at the rear of the courtyard and later on, we asked the resident if she had seen where the woman and boy had gone and she swore she hadn't seen a child at the fish pond, but only the four of us who lived there, which means she didn't see the woman either. Because of the new posts in this thread, I reread all the comments, and I think the reason the people at the back of the courtyard didn't see the woman and boy is because when they (the people) looked, the ghosts either hadn't appeared or they had already disappeared, not because the ghosts weren't visible to them. Also, when there are a group of people doing something some distance away, you don't count them.

Also, when there are a group of people doing something some distance away, you don't count them. I was curious so I went to Google maps and measured the distance from the fish pond to the back of the courtyard and it’s 310 feet, a little more than the length of a football field, so you’re right, unless they were specifically looking at us the entire time, they could easily have missed the woman and boy. It was odd the way it happened. There were four of us at the fish pond and the woman and boy were just suddenly there. Talking among ourselves later, no one saw precisely where they came from. The conversation was very short and they walked around the oak tree, which is quite large, and vanished. The entire encounter was no more than a minute or two.
