Spooky happenings

I am a massage therapist and an atheist so not ‘woo’ at all.

I was working on a regular client at her home on Thursday night, there is a long corridor beyond the room that we use, door was open as we were making sure the children were asleep.

I saw the shadow of a man running down her corridor.

So I said ‘oh, do you have a ghost?’ She looked a bit freaked and said ‘why’

I said that I’d just seen a man running down the corridor and she looked even more spooked. Around 5 mins later I saw the same thing but running back down the corridor (just the shadow on the wall) and told her. She said we would ‘talk about it later’ as her husband was away and I said ‘oh don’t worry, it doesn’t seem unpleasant, it could have been a child’ (it clearly wasn’t a child) the cat then appeared at the door shaking its tail and looking out down the corridor.

I went back last night. Her husband had come home and the house was far more full of life than when it was just her and the sleeping girls, she told me she had been in her ensuite (her ensuite is unusual, it is between the corridor and her bedroom so you must walk through it to get to her room) brushing her teeth, about a month previous and had seen a man dressed in a grey tracksuit, jog past her. It was so clear she believed it was her DH and called his name.

She was alone in the house, she then realised her phone had gone dead and upon inspection, the internet was down on her laptop and, the phones were out. Obviously she was incredibly freaked out but got some things working and moved on.

Her husband slept in one of the spare bedrooms a week later and when he woke, every draw and cupboard in the room was open. She is getting more and more senses of this running man and with more people seeing/experiencing it, she believes he is getting stronger.

Obviously this has totally freaked me out. Not least because I managed to identify him a month after first sighting and without her mentioning him to me, because her belief is the more you speak about them, the more they appear.

hey. The witch!!

We have a witch wood too, there’s seven trees where seven sisters were hanged for being witches. It’s so creepy in that woods and even the kids mention the witches. I always get the urge to empty my mooncup there (I never have)

We walk the dog there sometimes but stay on the path

If he was wearing a tracksuit he must be a fairly modern ghost (unless it was a shell suit). Have you googled the house?

LuluJakey1 · 14/09/2018 21:52

No, not at all woo 🙄

I have just googled the house but it was owned by a prominent royal so all the links are to that. The new owner knows the old so I’ve asked her to see if she can find out who he is.

I don't think I would be able to handle seeing ghosts... Yet I love horror movies and everything to do with the supernatural just terrified of ghosts even though I've never seen one. Always felt scared since a young age, I'm glad in a way avoided me having a heart attack for sure. I don't know how you manage to sleep whilst seeing ghosts.

CantankerousCamel · 14/09/2018 22:09

Most of them go away if you ask them. But I don’t see them so much as see ‘things’ like shadows or whatever

This is probably most wood thing I've ever read on Mumsnet! Grin

In surprise the non wooers haven't been along to give you a ticking off yet Grin

So you’re ‘not at all woo’, but your first impulse when you glimpsed a stranger in a client’s house is to designate it a ghost rather than a burglar, and your second is to offer to do a ‘clearing’?

And those seven witches hanged for witchcraft in your wood — such a large number of executions must be dealt with in detail by historians, as well as the peculiar circumstances that saw them executed in a wood rather than on a town gallows..?

CantankerousCamel · 15/09/2018 09:00

I think we’ve established I’m ‘woo’ Love RTFT

yes it’s well documented, they were taken to the woods to be hanged because the towns people were afraid of them. They were foreign and moved to the town, people assumed they were witches, dragged them to the woods and hanged them.

In my own experience, if you ask them to go away, they will, but then you won't experience anything at all. They always come back though, if you're open to them, in dribs and drabs like they're testing the waters.

Treacletoots · 15/09/2018 09:04

Shamelessly placemarking!

Being a bit woo isn't something you choose, it chooses you, and after managing to video the house ghost changing my TV channel and turning the TV on and off when it was unplugged I am a firm believer that we don't know everything about everything that happens and can't always prove it with 'science'

CantankerousCamel · 15/09/2018 10:04

chocolate

I asked not to see anything, so I tend not to, just see the trails.

But I will tell them to go away if they freak me out, which I am wuite happy to do but also, if you have a ghost that causes you no distress, you don’t need to ask it to go away
