Our House

I thought I might take a little time to tell you about a few things that I have experienced in my house over the 9-10 years we have lived here.

When we first moved in, I felt like we were not alone.  It took me a while to settle in to the place.  As I started to get to know the house and it's resident, I did start to feel much more comfortable.  It was an old woman and she would always fuss around me on the stairs.  Not in a bad way, she was just there and made a fuss as if she was worried you would fall, almost like she was holding you as you went up or down.  This did stop after a few years and I do believe she has been gone now for quite some time.  From what I was told, there was an older woman who lived here but had to go in to a home after having a fall.  She died in the home.  I think she fell on the stairs in the house.

In the early days of living here, I also felt a strange sense of peace when touching the fireplace when the fire was lit.  There are two open fires here, and this didn't happen with the fire in the middle room, only the one in the living room.  I felt calm and could picture elderly people sat by the fire.

My brother in law claims to have seen a woman holding a baby in the living room, they were there and then vanished.  I have also caught a quick glimpse of a young boy in the hallway.  I once felt a bad presence of a man chasing after the young boy upstairs.  The boy was afraid and the man was angry.  I could just feel them and their emotions as if they were living people right in front of me.  I wasn't expecting it.  The man had never been there before and never since, the boy only the twice.

Once, my little boy was crying for his bottle.  As I was filling it up, I heard a woman's voice, plain as day say to him "Aww are you hungry?"  I though it was my mum or sister in law, who both had a key to the house.  I went to see which one of them it was that had turned up at this odd time of night without calling first.  There was no one there.

The bathroom mirror once flew off the wall.  This was a time I was out, my sister in law was in with our friends when they heard a loud crash.  When the went to see what it was, the mirror had not just fallen down from the wall, but was on the floor at the other side of the room.

There have been other things that won't come to mind right now.  These are just things from my current house.  In time I shall add stories from my former home and work as well as some other spots.
