Real-life tales of the supernatural
continued from page 1
The most memorable thing was when my baby was born. I laid him in his cot whilst doing some chores. After a while, I went to check on him and he had vanished. Panic-stricken I ran into the lounge and there on the floor was my six-week-old baby, fast asleep. There's no way I would have left him on the floor, especially with the cat close by. I phoned my husband at work and he came home immediately and consoled me as I thought I was going mad. However, on entering the baby room, there was a strong smell of burning and a plug was smouldering in its socket and beginning to smoke. Had the plug caught fire it would have ignited the cot blankets that were hanging down between the cot bars and could easily have caught fire. So after that I was never frightened of Mrs Wright. She may have saved my baby's life, but she didn't want us to change her home. We did re-wire the place though.'
The waiting room
'I never used to believe in ghosts and thought it was a load of claptrap. Anyway seven years ago, I was fast asleep and had a dream where I was walking down the road spitting out teeth, when a nice lady in her late 50s told me to go with her. So I followed her. I asked her where she was taking me and she told me she had to show me something. We climbed up these steps, concrete steps, there were people all queuing. The queue went on a long way, no one said anything; they were just queuing.
Next I was taken into a room and was told that this room was where all those that died before their parents had to wait. I looked around, then I spotted someone I knew and asked, "What's he doing here, I know him?" I asked if I could go and say hello and was told that they could not see me or hear me. I was also told that I couldn't go back yet, at which I panicked. I woke up in my bed confused and very upset. I had no idea what had happened and went to my parents house asking them if they could see me and to pinch me, as I wasn't sure if I was dead or alive. I know it sounds really silly, but I swear, it really scared me, totally freaked me out. Anyway, two years ago, the friend I saw in my dream died of cancer. No one knew that he had it until it was too late as he was never ill. I was very upset as I thought if I'd put the connection together earlier my friend might have survived. I could have warned him. I never told anyone. It still haunts me to this day.'
