I've noticed that some posters have experienced multiple IHTM Fortean events, sometimes stretching over a lifetime. Some people even have family trees of phenomena with stories of experiences that their parents or grandparents had.
I thought it would be interesting to try and sketch these events out in a brief timeline, to show maybe how they relate? Or what order they came in?
My own timeline is not really very interesting- I'm aware that many people have far more exciting examples, but thought I would start it off to show what I mean. I've linked to the stories that I've posted about here before. Please add your own versions! I'd be very curious.
Family history: great grandmother reported to have had a poltergeist when a young teenager. No idea about the date of this - sorry.
Born 1979
Circa 1981: brown-clad ghost / bird down chimney incident

Circa 1983: haunted holiday

1985-1988: I lived in a back to back terraced house with a friendly ghost that sneezed on the upstairs landing.
1991-1998: poltergeist activity

1995: lights in the woods http://forum.forteantimes.com/index.php?threads/lights-in-the-woods.60873/
1998-current: just minor strangeness.
Edit - can't get the links to work! I'll try and edit them in as and when I can.
