We have had lots of houses Trisha, but never seen any ghosts, although we have had a few 'weird' experiences.

Some years ago, house hunting in Bristol, we wanted to live in Clifton, but couldn't afford a proper house, so we went to view a Georgian terrace needing loads of work, it had been on the market for ages, but it was a beautiful house in a great location. We had pretty much decided we were going to buy it before we even viewed it.

Anyhoo, down stairs was pretty much as we expected, needed lots of work but was liveable. We went to the first floor and there was a beautiful landing with a window that had views of the river and suspension bridge, we were so excited. We looked at the first two bedrooms, there was wallpaper hanging off the walls, damp patches etc, nothing too scary.

We left those bedrooms, went down a small landing leading off from the main landing where there was another small bedroom. As soon as we turned that corner, I did genuinely feel a chill and suddenly just stopped in me tracks, I knew I did not want to go down that landing and into that bedroom.

'I can't go into that room' I said to OH, he said 'don't be a pillock Cj get in there you daft cow'.......or words to that effect, ( he's always been loving like that m0786

) he spent ages trying to persuade me, at one point he and the agent took me by my arms to try and coax me in, but it just felt like there was a barrier in the way, and I definitely did not want to go any further.

Needless to say, the viewing ended, we left quickly, feeling quite embarrassed.

A few weeks later the agent lady telephoned us, she said that my reaction to that room was the third time that had happened, the house had been with them for around 18 months at this point. Apart from me, another lady had had a similar reaction and a guy.

She told me that the house had been on the market with another agent before she took it on, she rang the previous agent to see if any similar occurrences had happened when he had it on his books, he said ' didn't you know, that room was where the daughter of the family committed suicide when she was 16', locals know about it and that is why the house has been on the market for so long'

This may sound tame compared to you really spooky stories but my MIL died on Wednesday ( I’ve posted about her before many times: very difficult woman).
I spoke to her the night before and she sounded so bad I wanted to call an ambulance but she screamed at me not to. Anyway I left it and she told me not to phone her the next day, she’d phone me. I sent a text in the morning which went unanswered but that wasn’t unusual. I finally phoned her brother in law about lunchtime as he had a key and just lived round the corner and he said he was just about to go round anyway so coward that I am I let him. He found her on the sofa in her dressing gown but the neighbours had just called an ambulance anyway because they saw the curtains hadn’t been opened. I dealt with the undertaker and they dealt with the paramedics. Apparently rules have just changed and bodies are not taken away. Nobody was really interested in establishing an accurate cause of death. She was 91 and in very poor health.

I had to phone the undertaker back and ask him to pick up the body so they went round and took her out.

Now I’m getting to the weird bit. When we went round the next day to check on the house we found the electricity was off and we couldn’t find the fuse box. (We did eventually but not that day)

The next day I got a phone call from her panic button company. The carecall hub had been running on battery power and it was about to fail. They told me they’d receive a notification a couple of days before that the unit had switched to battery power and by comparing times it seems that it failed at exactly the time her body left the house. There doesn’t seem any explanation for this. Nobody touched anything and the fuses had blown for sockets but not the lights so nobody would have realised.

I was telling my friend who used to be a nurse and she has hundreds of stories like this.

I know you had a difficult relationship. You need a pat on the back for all you did for her as I’m sure many would not have been so supportive. Your story is rather freaky!

That's seriously weird magggzzz.

I heard someone was using a tape machine - this was in the 90's when cassettes were still popular - and when she played back the tape she heard a man saying "Watch how she hurts". I don't know what happened to the tape but apparently she was terrified. I must've been in 1998 0r 1999. Who was the man on the tape and whom was the message meant for?
