Some years ago a friend of mine owned an old Elizabethan house that had been built in 1569. It was basically sound but in a bad state. It was empty except for a few rooms in the old servants quarters. This part had electric light, the rest of the three story building had none.
Late one day I was checking that everything was secure and walked the various corridors in the three storey tall wings of the main house, closing doors and shutting windows and gradually working my way to the exit in the low two storey servants quarters. By the time I had finished it was beginning to get dark. My eyes were dark adjusted and I knew the house well so had no trouble moving around. When I reached the servants quarters one of the rooms, the old kitchens from 1569, still had a light on. The lights were modern fluorescent and I pushed the door open, reached in and clicked the switch off. As the lights went out I was surprised, shocked, to see something floating in the upper part of the room over against one of the walls. I pressed myself against the wall and stared.
