Hi everyone, I joined last month but I have not been able to get in to the forum, and have been away from time to time since then too, which didn't help either, but like everyone here I'm a great fan of Most Haunted and have been watching it since I have been able to, we don't get Living TV, just ftn, so my knowledge of the program is limited, I like to watch all the other paranormal related programs also. Over the years I have experienced some paranormal activity of my own, and I would like to share a few of my stories with everyone.
PEOPLE AT THE WINDOW
When I was a child, I was brought up mainly by my grandparents, they stayed in a small village in South West Scotland, which was built by the Electricity Board in 1935 for their workers, my grandfather was employed at the power station in the same village until he retired in 1971, we had to move as all the houses were being sold off by the Electricity Board, incidentally the entertainer Ken Dodd visited the village in around this time with view to buying the whole village of fourteen houses, but he didn't.
During my last summer in the village a few photographs were taken, in one there is a clear view of the back bedroom window, unfortunately I had to be plonked in the foreground by my family, we moved house before the photographs were developed, but once they were, we could quite clearly see people at the window, the rest of my family could only see one person, but I could see two.
Now with the occupants of the back bedroom quite clearly at the window, my grandfather told my mother and I about some experiences he had had in that room while sleeping there during mothers night feeds as a baby, I guess he wanted to get some peace to sleep for his work the next day, my grandfather told us that every night when he put the light out a white flash would go across the bed, then the covers would be slowly pulled off at the bottom, after a few times of the covers being pulled down and yanked back up again by my grandfather, he would tell them 'that's enough now, papa was then left alone for the rest of the night, this ritual was repeated every night until my grandfather lost his temper with the spirits and cursed and swore at them, the covers were never pulled down the bed again.
The back bedroom was my toy room, I was never told about the spirits but I knew they were there, I played in the room very often, I knew I was being watched, and used to talk away to the spirits, but they never tried to communicate back with me, but I never felt frightened by them, the spirits once placed a green vase in the middle of the floor, I found it the next time I went in the room, the vase would have broken if it had fallen from where it normally sat, I played hide and seek in the back bedroom one dark winters evening with three friends, we played with the light out, one of my friends hid in an alcove in the room, which was covered by a full length curtain, he swore that some thing was standing beside him, our game of hide and seek in the dark was abandoned.
In later years my mother sent the negative off to a medium, she sent it back saying it was too large and old fashioned to fit in her mount, but she had been able to ascertain there were more than one presence in the room.
At the time the photograph was taken I can confirm there were no living persons in the house, my grandfather was at work, my mother took the photograph, I unfortunately was in it, and my grandmother was standing to the far left of my mother telling me how to pose, and by this time my father had parted company with my family, I still retain the photograph and the negative, I enlarged the photograph in the scanner, and as well as the two people at the window there appears to be in the background, on a higher level, a partial skeletal remains.
All throughout my life I have wondered who the people at the window were, what had happened to them, and what time period they were from, who ever the occupants of the back bedroom were, they did us no harm in any way, and might have been trying to communicate with us in the only way they could, they were confined to that one room in our house, but I believe it's the land thats haunted.
Sorry my story is so long, I did try to compact it where I could, I have other stories to tell in relation to this village, but I will leave them for another time, I could try to send the photograph through if any one is interested in taking a look at it, but yet again I will be away until the beginning of November, let me know and I will try to send it through then.
