Haunted house horrors
'I used to live in a haunted house in Leyton, East London. There were three of us living there at the time, and we all experienced odd things. The classic, which happened all the time, was missing objects, particularly watches (you'd put your watch down to have a shower and it would vanish, appearing somewhere else in the house). Walking along the street towards the house, we'd see someone standing in the garden. They'd then step towards the house, hidden by the hedge, and be gone by the time we reached the house. One flatmate always reported hearing what she thought was a body being dragged around outside her room, and we had that odd temperature change thing going on. (There was also a freaky locked room that we were never allowed to go into. V suspicious.)
Then we got physical evidence: one night, we all heard a smash, like breaking glass, from the living room. When we went to investigate, we found that a speaker had fallen off the wall and rolled into the middle of the room. But the wire had somehow passed BEHIND a wall-mounted radiator and UNDER a sofa. The only way to put the speaker back was to disconnect it from the stereo, feed it back under the couch and behind the radiator and reconnect it. It was physically impossible. That really freaked everyone one! We moved out shortly afterwards and later found out that someone had died in the house, about 15 years before.'
Spiritual awakening
'One night, a friend of mine was awoken by his grandmother - or at least a vision of her. He was travelling in Australia at the time and she was in Yorkshire. She asked how he was doing so far away from home and then vanished. The following morning his family contacted him with the news that his grandmother had died in the night.'
