Yes I am. Just send me £50 to cover administrative costs and your magic wand, worth over $9000, will be in the post.

Usually there are logical explanations. I was terrified as a kid by someone breathing loudly in my room. Turned out to be an owl sitting on the gas fire outlet, they make deep snoring noises apparently. Once we heard lots of bumps and thumps in the attic. We opened the trap very gingerly and something suddenly moved. Next door's cat. How it got up in the attic we have no idea.
But sometimes there aren't. Our current house used to be full of noises, people walking about, small voices crying, no obvious explanation. On one occasion was sitting with son on the stairs and a young child's voice started babbling out of thin air right in front of us and carried on for half a minute.
Then we had some building work done and it all stopped. You will find that effect mentioned in many psychic texts. You don't need an exorcism, just get an extension or underfloor heating.
PS When did we get pictures back on CUK? Must hurry over to "one a day"

Not too squeakily, or the cat may think you're a mouse and attempt to eat you.Originally posted by k2p2 View Post...
I ventured halfway upstairs and shouted (rather squeakily) "anyone there?"...

They're normally the first to sense anything, if they haven't, your water pipes may be playing up.
All quiet now. And have empty wine bottle as weapon of choice...
