Three lions
'This is going to sound strange, but when I was a very small girl (they arrived before I was three years old) I had three fully-grown male lions that went with me wherever I went. I remember them as clear as day and my parents still joke about me holding doors open for them and waiting for them to get in and out of the car, etc. I remember that one was called Jason but the other two names escape me. I do know that I didn't question their existence.
As I got older they were around less and less and they eventually told me that they were going away when I was nine years old, I remember the conversation because I was upset by it. Bearing in mind that these "imaginary friends" kept me from harm countless times (they used to cross the road with me and would stop me from doing stupid things by explaining the danger to me - they also guarded me when I was asleep, chasing away all manner of horrid monsters), I wonder now what they were, where they came from and if they are with me still.'
Saved baby's life
'My husband and I used to live in a flat that had previously been occupied by an old couple called Mr and Mrs Wright. They had lived there for years and the old girl died in the kitchen of the flat. The old man said he kept seeing her and eventually moved into a home. On moving into the flat my husband said really weird things kept happening. A heavy fruit bowl full of fruit was thrown against a wall. Items would go missing and every time any DIY was carried out, more things seemed to happen. The cat used to be asleep in front of the fire and suddenly would jump up and run out of the room petrified.
