I have lived in 2 houses that I believe were blighted with strange happenings and I wasn't happy there no matter what I dd to them. My first odd house was on a Council Estate and despite wanting to move there we couldn't wait to leave and did so after just 2 years to buy the second house. The house never felt happy or right no matter what decorating etc was done. This was way back in the early 80s. One night we had been watching Salems Lot on the TV which was unbelievably scary and after it had finished I decided to get ready for bed so went to the bathroom to clean my teeth etc. The bathroom was horrible despite putting very expensive wallpaper I had been given on one wall and painting the rest white. Anyway, the bathroom had a small window that looked out onto a green. We were half way up a mountain and there were lots of trees behind the house but not close. As I walked in I could here a scratching and tapping at the window. I nearly jumped out of my skin and rushed back out. I did not imagine it and there was nobody outside as we checked as I was so shook up. Another time my daughter said she saw something outside the front bedroom window which scared her so much she screamed. I didn't take much notice as I put it down to childish things or whatever. However it happened again another night when she was settling down in bed. I was quite cross with her and told her to stop being silly. We lived in a split level house and at the back was a room which I used as a 'best room' with lovely furniture and a cream pile carpet. It was seldom used and the door was always kept shut to keep the dogs out. I went in there one day to do some dusting and saw muddy cat paw prints up the wall by the window which was never opened - we didn't have cats but we had a couple of dogs. There were no muddy paw prints anywhere else. Must have been a clever cat! Which brings me to the one thing that was really eerie for me. I was sat in the downstairs lounge reading and the front door leading into the hallway and stairs was wide open. We had one dog that was always up to mischief and used to play up. He was outside on this occasion but must have sneaked back in. My daughter was upstairs in her bedroom. Suddenly she shouted that the dog was upstairs and playing her up. I went to shout back at her to send him down when suddenly I heard a voice clearly shouting "Don't worry he has gone now" after the dog came hurtling down the stairs. It was MY voice!!! I have never forgotten this as it really puzzled me and shook me up especially when my daughter confirmed the voice as well.
I will write about the other house in another posting.
