I do like most haunted. Never the same since Derek Accora left.

I don't believe in ghosts or any of that mumbo jumbo claptrap but one night, the missus and I were staying in an old farm converted to guest house in Chelmsford. I woke up in the middle of the night and it was really dark so couldn't see anything but I would have sworn that there was someone in the room!!! You know that feeling you get when you can just sense that someone was there?
Well we went down for brekkie and the manager told us that the hotel is supposed to be haunted and that someone died in the room we were in...
Was plain wierd I tell ya...Comment

When I was 16 or 17 and still living in my parents 17th century cottage, I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of my bedroom door being banged really hard. It was loud, I could even see it moving (they were those old "gate-latch" type doors). I got up thinking something was going on, maybe some emergency, but when I opened the door there was nothing there. Everyone in the house was still asleep. The next morning I found out that no-one else had heard anything at all...Comment

When I was about 10 we moved to a small farm. The guy we bought it off was heartbroken that he had to move out - he was too old and couldn't really manage it anymore due to poor health. When I was about 15 he died. We had a few seriously odd little things happen in quick succession.
1 - I was looking after my younger brothers while my mum and dad were out. I put a record on - due to the state of our record player I watched it as the needle moved off that blank bit at the outer edge of the record. I'd turned the lights down as was going to have a kip on the sofa until my folks got back. While I was watching the record start, the lights went up to full. Figuring it was the kids I legged it up to their room only to find both of them sound asleep. It couldn't have been them. Thinking that it could have been a surge in the electric I checked the dimmer. It was fully round - something had turned the dimmer. There was only me there and 2 sleeping kids.
2 - One of the little jobs I had to do was make sure the fires stayed in all of the night. This means loading them up with coal before bed. We had extended the farm house into the barn and had a door from the lounge into what was left of the barn, where we kept the coal, amongst other things. I had a scuttle full of coal when I felt something push me. It felt like a hand on the top of my jeans where your belt goes. I'd asked my little brother to lock the barn door (to the outside) and figured it was him trying to push past me. I swore at him because I nearly dropped the coal on the carpet (back into the house rather than in the barn obviously!). When I turned around he was still locking the door at the other end of the barn. There is no way he could have got to where I was, push me and get back to where he was.
3 - I was putting the finishing touches to my history project, so was up late. My sister burst into my room panicing. She had locked up the house, turned all the lights off and gone to the loo before going to bed. When she came out every single light was on downstairs in the house.
4 - My sister claims that one night she woke to see what looked like a short and very fat man leaning over her and touching her on the arm. This could be explained by the fact that she was asleep and 'saw' it when not really awake.
5 -My mum claims that one night she felt a heavy weight sit on her bed. when she looked nobody was there. Again this could have been explained by the fact that she was asleep just prior to it happening.
All these little things happened straight after the old guy died. The continued right up until his wife moved out of the area to be with her relatives. As soon as she moved they stopped.
In the field behind the house there was also supposed to be one of an old woman. There is a washing stone at the top of the field which dates back hundreds of years. The field is triangular in shape with the stone at the top corner. I know one guy who claims to have seen an old woman walk from nowhere into the path of his car. When he stopped his car there was nobody there and she had walked from a drystone wall. My little brother also claimed to have seen this woman also when he was little. He screamed the house down! He got out of bed to go to the loo. Our bathroom was downstairs and to get to it from his room he had to walk past the window which overlooked this field. He says he saw an old woman 'lit up' walking towards the house. My mum being the caring parent and the owner of her own clothes shop brought home one of her mannequins and we made it up to look like and old woman. We then sat it on the toilet and went to bed. He screamed the house down that night also.
The odd thing about that field was that the animals would never stay at the top end of it where the stone was. There was no shelter in the fields except what could be gained from standing next to a wall. i.e. two tall dry stone walls up to the apex of a triangle and a barbed wire fence along the bottom. So in driving rain you would have thought that the best place to be to try to get out of it would be at the top of the field. But they never would. Also the top of the field was dry while the bottom was a bit boggy, yet they always stayed at the bottom end of it. But that could just be me trying to read more into thingsRule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
