Old George - Farm Road - Anon
In the 80's, my sisters and me used to visit our grandparents and stay overnight at the weekend. Nan used to put the electric blanket on while we sat downstairs eating cheese and crackers for supper while watching 'Match Of The Day'. When our Nan put us to bed, she would put on loads of blankets and took us in tight, you could not move and the heat would send us to sleep in minutes. On a few occasions, we would see shadows walking around the walls, they couldn't be from outside as the curtains were shut and there was no light at the back of the house. My grandad had a plant on the window sill at the top of the stairs. Many times we would wake up and find it on the bannister!
Years later, in the 90's, a friend moved into the house with his parents. We were teenagers, into motorbikes and rock music. We were fixing up a bike in the dining room and had the 'Guns 'N Roses' album ' Appetite For Destruction' on vinyl. We had only just put it on, very loud as his parents were out. Suddenly, the last song on the B side was playing! We took a look and we turned it back over again. A few minutes later and it happened again! We turned it off and went out!

An Old Playmate - Farm Road - Anon
From when I was about 5 years old, I used to play a lot in my bedroom. I always used to play with another little boy who had dark hair, similar looking to myself. I don't remember his name but I never used to mention anything to my parents until years after we had moved house. When I told my Mum about it, she said, 'Oh my god, before we moved into that house, a young boy had died from a brain tumour'.
