Awake and up all night

It things like this which intrigued me and my group. We dont post or try and be famous for it. We do ot as we all have experienced things over the years. We have rested this year. So maybe next uear might do some again x

I find it fascinating Jamie. My partner just mentioned seeing the lady like it was perfectly normal! Both of us find all things like this very interesting and we do “feel” a lot of things at times in the house. It’s an old Victorian terrace, so who knows what memories are here we might be tapping into. My partner in particular used to be very well “tuned in” to other worldly stuff.

That's fascinating Sarah. I was born in a farm cottage built in 1632, as the date was carved into the lintel above the door. Over the seven years I lived there, I just ignored the things that happened as they were par for the course to me. My mam, elder brother and sister weren't so blase and got scared with all the knocking, banging and other things that went on. I didn't know this at the time, but mam threatened my dad she would leave and take us with her if he didn't find another house for us. He also admitted to my granny, who'd never liked visiting the farm, that he'd had enough of the activity as well. xxx

Oh gosh Gill-I don’t know how I’d feel if I actually heard things and banging etc. That’s such an old house you were in…mine must sound like a new build to you! I don’t recall ever hearing anything thank goodness.

A friend had a lot of things happen in her house-footsteps on the stairs particularly with no-one there and she came into the living room once to find the tv completely turned round and facing the wrong way. That would have freaked me out I think and things started scaring her kids. She’s moved now and I think things stopped.

When my stepson was little, he used to say there was a man on top of the wardrobe who talked to him at night. That was in another house where my OH had a few things happen, but it could have just been his imagination. Apart from the fact he then started to get scared by the man-yikes!

Oh crikey Sarah - that is scary! Our house was built in 1888 as we have the deeds with all the details. Like yourself I'm never scared here, but soon after I moved in with OH he told me he'd seen a ghost. I looked up from my book and asked him what he meant, or was it the Foster's talking. He told me that he'd been distracted from the telly by watching a woman suddenly appear and walk through the closed room door! At the time I never felt anything odd at all, but he was adamant he'd seen a ghost. There was something else that happened here but it could be a bit creepy to post. Brrrr xxx

Ooooh…that would give me the shivers to see someone walk through a closed door Gill, but I’d completely believe your hubby. I think I’m very open minded about all this sort of stuff. I’d be fine with hearing your other story, if it’s not too creepy!

I’ve got all the deeds here too from when the house was built in 1912, so actually it’s Edwardian, not Victorian…built for iron plate workers working on the railway which runs beside the houses. I should go back all the documents again and look for all the people who’ve lived here and see what I can find out. That could be interesting.

Our deeds do show all the previous owners but there aren't that many, and also all the building history. It's really interesting so you should have a look at yours Sarah.

Righto, care time for OH as he's finished watching the rugby now. If the ghost theme goes on, I'll post the other story.

Don't have nightmares, as Crime watch used to round off xxx

I don't know whether l believe in the supernatural,as Christian is suppose l must. One evening I was building a dry stone wall at back of the house l set down to take a break and had a long conversation with my grandfather. I lit a cigarette and realised what had happened,  he'd been dead for 15 years.

Wow, that's fantastic! Did he appear as a normal person would look? Whole body apparitions are rare and especially speaking ones.

I do believe in the supernatural - my uncle was killed during WWII, in the Crimea. My mam, who was his younger sister, told her mother that he'd stood at the end of her bed and spoke to her. She was told she'd dreamt about it, but several days later a letter was delivered telling of his demise. I've got the letter, as it's amongst my late mam's belongings, and it's in German as he was press ganged to join their army. Mam never forgave them as her family were Austrian and her brother was only 20 years old.

After the event l thought about this for quite a while. I remember him as a presence with a distinct impression of his flat cap and snow white hair. I can remember the conversation word for word.
