Bedsheet ghosts
Have you ever seen an old brass in a church with a figure of a person in a shroud? It is bunched together at the top of the head in a curious way. Something like that was sticking up out of the earth in a spot of the churchyard which John Poole knew very well. He darted into his bed and lay there very still indeed.
Presently something made a very faint rattling at the casement. With a dreadful reluctance John Poole turned his eyes that way. Alas!
Between him and the moonlight was the black outline of the curious bunched head . . . Then there was a figure in the room. Dry earth rattled on the floor. A low cracked voice said ‘Where is it?’ and steps went hither and thither, faltering steps as of one walking with difficulty. It could be seen now and again, peering into corners, stooping to look under chairs; finally it could be heard fumbling at the doors of the cupboard in the wall, throwing them open. There was a scratching of long nails on the empty shelves. The figure whipped round, stood for an instant at the side of the bed, raised its arms, and with a hoarse scream of ‘YOU’VE GOT IT!’
Sorry found a similar one.
Winding sheet.
Who didn't know that?
I wish he wouldn't keep saying Hellowe'en.

I once lost the will to live when i tried to put a quilt cover on this way, i just sat down on the bed and sighed, now i have a job where i have to put 20 odd duvets on a day, i have learned a different way
i have learned a different way
Please share this secret knowledge. Last time I changed a duvet cover the cats attacked while I was trying to push the corners in!
It's at that point t'wife walks in and thinks she's seen a ghost.My trick for duvets was to stuff them into the cover and then climb inside and sort out the corners that way.

Coffee and electronic don't mix. You owe me a new computer screen.
