Real-life tales of the supernatural
continued from page 4
White spirit
'When I was 18, I had a dog called Tara. One night at around about 10pm, my dad and I took her for her last walk of the day across the park, which was right opposite our house. As we walked around the park, Tara suddenly became very nervous and agitated, her hackles on her neck rose and she started growling and barking for what seemed like no reason. Only when we reached the corner of the park where there was a bench did we see an old lady sitting, completely dressed in white. My dad said to her that it was late and cold and she should be on her way home; she looked at my dad and nodded once, but never said a word.
We walked about four paces and looked back at her; to our surprise she was no longer on the bench but in the middle of the park just standing there, dress flowing in the wind. Now a young person could never have got to the middle of the park that quickly, let alone an old woman, and needless to say my dad and I made a hasty exit with our dog. The strange thing was the next day when my dad was telling our neighbour about the eerie experience, he also had a dog and walked her about an hour later and explained to my dad that he had also seen the very same thing. We all came to the conclusion that this must have been a spirit woman but no one to this day knows anything about her or have seen her since although we do still look out for her.'
Marking the moment
'At the precise moment my grandfather died, a leather-strap calendar broke through. It just snapped and fell to the ground. The calendar was only 2-3 years old, and the leather's about 3mm thick, yet it looks like it's been cut off with scissors (which would be extremely difficult to do, unless you used sharp gardening shears). We concluded that it could only have been him.
