This is a very good question! Perhaps a connection to the dead animal is needed to be haunted by it. Hence hauntings by pets but not random wild animals?

Yes indeed. And they even do this despite the fact we have TWO bells.

I have done a search and can't seem to find another thread. This is a story I came across a while ago, and for some reason it boggles my mind. Anyway, two of the grandchildren, of the 10th president of the USA born in the 1790s, are still alive...

Ah not the same one. This one went through the bushes and hit a gravestone.

Was that the car that didn't quite make the bend in house at Glen?

Still there, near Leicester airfield ....I know as I drive past it a lot and only live about 5 miles from it. The associated farmpark closed down during the second outbreak of foot and mouth though. I only go to Leicester to work, don't like it much. Prefer the South East of Leicestershire.... I...

I think you may mean Oadby which is near Evington. Oakham is in Rutland not Leicestershire. Interesting about the pub, I may go and pay a visit soon!

Living in Leicestershire though - Oakham is not near Evington. Is this the pub in Evington you are talking about? The Cedars https://g.co/kgs/8w111i

October half term we went to Norfolk and were shopping in Cromer Morrison's for some dinner. Cromer is about 3 hours from where we live. Anyway, someone shouted my name and it was my gym instructor I had not seen for about 7 years....

"Why must you probe us? The secrets of my species Are not kept up there" N.B. Not my poem

Albert Bandura. Famous psychologist. But he's not. His mate Zimbardo told me.

Don't recall ever trying. BUT I can eat and drink, and taste it all in my dreams.

When I was younger and slimmer - Abi Titmus and Sarah Schalke. These days the resemblance between myself and Catherine Southon is uncanny.....

As those who know me will know, I'm a bit of a sewing nut. Vintage machines especially are a probe to going off on their own... here's just one example and the reason for it. That's why you never change needles with a machine plugged in!

That could be a solution if the part was smaller, but the wooden but this wooden bit is quite substantial and would have stopped the pedal from working.

More minor strangeness in the sewing room. I am not sure whether I told you guys the story of the sewing machine and table I bought, which turned out to be from a lady who died, and the disappearing and reappearing key? ANYWAY, yesterday, I was in the sewing room for a major sesh. A couple of...

Good idea!

I watched this yesterday - it was fascinating!

I found it terrible..... and not very funny.

What I think is more interesting than good 'ole Phineas himself - and trust me after decades of finding him in A level specifications and undergrad courses, I am somewhat bored by him - is the fact that it spawned the frontal lobotomy. An example of how quite often, one case study and/or other...

I have your fiver. Work has completely gotten out of hand, so apart from a holiday to Cuba ( very nice thank you ), I have literally been working non stop.

We all know the earth can't be flat. Otherwise, cats would have swept everything off it by now!

To be fair, I have been to many a Spiritualist service and had readings, and never ever heard anything convincing. However, you couldn't meet a nicer bunch of people and they are always very welcoming, and there is always a cup of tea and a biscuit or two.

Photocopiers.... I am really good at breaking them, usually just about 10 minutes before I need something copied really urgently.

Well I don't have a problem with that, but I am not sure what your scoring is referring to? The facts such as they are? Or the interpretation of the Washington Post? Facts which have been verified are : 1. He passed the screening and worked for the German domestic intelligence service. 2. His...

Speaking of Nazis - as above. I thought you might like to see a picture of my paternal grandfather. He was a career soldier in the Kriegsmarine, note Nazi insignia on the uniform. Just an ordinary man, but couldn't live with his demons committing suicide in his 50's. My step paternal grand-dad...

I would give it a score of about 8, as it has been reported in reputable German media and there is quite a bit of back story to the whole thing. If you follow this link http://www.stern.de/politik/deutschland/islamistischer-maulwurf-beim-verfassungsschutz--das-ist-roque-m--7220144.html and use...

Ah yes, read about this in the German media - bizarre!

Never heard of this!

1. The gist is in the title. 2. You don't have to click if you don't want. 3. I feel much the same about your long cut and paste jobs, but you don't hear me complaining, I just don't bother reading them and move on.

A very interesting read! http://3tags.org/article/is-dark-matter-in-reality-one-giant-alien-life-form

Ah, of course they do, but this is not life stock from a farm. The Brits are very sentimental about animals, especially pets, and I doubt they would ever eat one.

We can really tell you're not British now.......

I offer you this story with no comment...... More here

The thing is though : 1. Quite often twins have a shared upbringing at some point. 2. Even if separated, they often grow up in similar families, thus experiencing similar environments. 3. If we look for it, we often find similarities with complete strangers. I recently encountered this in the...

I have lived in Leicestershire for almost 20 years but only recently became aware of the Humber Stone - and went and visited it as a result. There is some debate about what it is, but most agree that it was deposited during the ice age. There is also a myth that it is cursed, and its history...

I've heard it quite a few times, quite often used in films/TV. A favourite in Supernatural for instance.

So who do we use as evidence? Wikipedia, hear-say and conspiracy sites?

As sad as it is, there is one verified story of this happening. Luckily she was rescued and is now rehabilitated. http://orangutan.or.id/ponys-new-life-2/

I am not surprised by this. One influencing factor on cancer survival rates does seem to be social support though.

Me too!

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/ny-woman-declared-brain-dead-woke-up-moments-before-organs-harvested Or when is dead not dead?

OOOOOH intriguing, and it really does like a kid is sitting in the back!

I read about this before, AND more recently an article which looked at living/beating heart cadavers. Despite brain death, these bodies still function. There were also a couple of cases of people who have been declared brain dead and they have reanimated just as their organs were about to be...

Am I dreaming this, or did I read somewhere that the London cat killer might have been active as far back as the 80's. What is also worrying is that his gruesome deeds seem to be getting worse/accelerating. Let's not forget how Jeffrey Dahmer started!

Not my thing, but I have knowingly visited a murder scene as it was were a friend had killed herself and close relatives, but this was to visit those who remained behind.

All I can say to this is I love Sky Q...... ;)

Two weeks ago, I bumped into an ex-colleague I hadn't seen in well over a year at Sainsbury's, and two days later again at the swimming pool in my gym. Then last week I bumped into another ex-colleague, this time someone I hadn't seen for over 2 years, when I went to lunch in a garden center...

So we have recorded the whole season so far.......... just don't seem to be able to muster up enthusiasm to watch it. Worth it or not? Discuss.
