(I hope I spelt "Ventriloquist" right, lol)
This happened a while back now, definitely back in the mid or early 90s (a year after the infamous "Ghostwatch" hoax) and it was December as my family was in the festive mood and my Nan had travelled down from the North to spend time with us. The only usual face missing from the celebratrions was my mum's younger brother, my uncle. He was "seeing to" a beautiful Irish lady and was spending the time time with her in Northern Ireland.
Anyway, It was me, my mum and my nan, chilling out, catching the usual films for that period, and I was asked to make a tea for us, so there I was in the kitchen, shovelling my face as quickly and efficiently as possible with everyones chocolates laying around while the kettle boiled, when I heard crystal clearly, my uncles voice in the hallway say: "KIM..." (my mothers name). I froze, at that age I was very much into ghouls and ghosts and things that go bump in the night, but Ghostwatch kinda freaked me out for a good 2 years, and I was just recovering when this happened. Anyhow, I peeped out of the kitchen door, made sure the coast was clear, and went back to the living room where my mum and nan were. I asked "Did you hear that?" and they said "Yes, John calling out 'KIM' from the hallway (nobody else was there)" So we sat there for a few moments, confused and freaked out, when it was suggested that someone phones uncle John to make sure he is okay.
At the time the IRA were still terrorising northen Ireland and John was staying there at the time, and I was aware of reports about a relative mysteriously contacting or making an appearence before or at the time of a tragic accident, although they are on the other side of the world. We phoned John and he said he was fine, just chilling with his lady friend.
So we sat there, freaked out, telling each other spooky stories for the rest of the night.
Anyway this is my first post, Anyone experienced this before or have any explanations???
