aparrantly it's not as obvious to some.

Then look at this way, what possible reason would she have had, whilst alive, to frighten you? None. Why would she choose to do so after her life has ended? She wouldn't. You have had a horrible loss and honestly, you picked the wrong thread. Not a criticism AT ALL but you are grieving and this has frightened you and made you unhappy when you needed comfort.

Get some rest, stop worrying, your MIL is at peace now, so let yourself have some peace for tonight, please. x

thanks June- plucking u courage to go upstairs.
Final comment- had a house we rented out- ALL tenants mentioned it was haunted by an elderly gentleman- we bought it from his estate. All said he was harmless but there in master bedroom. Freaky.

HowlingBitch · 18/06/2011 00:50

kangers I have sent you a PM. Your dogs are probably freaked out because you are. They are intuitive little things. Listen to TMDIH you will be fine.

I agree Kanga your mil is at peace and you are grieving, please don't worry, give the dogs a big stroke, it's very theraputic x

kangers · 18/06/2011 00:53

Thanks all- I was drawn to thread for obvs reasons I suppose. So not in touch as you are on here. Feeling better now.
Hope she is having a life on the other side of the veil.

devient I cant get on to facebook for some reason tonight so thatlink isnt working but I will keep trying

TakeMeDrunkImHome · 18/06/2011 00:55

Sorry, I am having such a terrible connection. Your dogs are edgy because YOU are. No other reason. Picking up on your vibes is all. Get some rest, you will feel better tomorrow.

HowlingBitch · 18/06/2011 00:55

Are you feeling abit better now kangers ?

TakeMeDrunkImHome · 18/06/2011 00:55

(I didn't mean the comment about it being the wrong thread in ANY horrible way, I hope you know what I was trying to say).

RufusTFirefly · 18/06/2011 01:00

I haven't, but my bass player has. A very down to earth, cynical sort of man not given to flights of fancy. He was doing a gig in the Lanesborough, an hotel which used to be St George's Hospital, Hyde Park Corner. He was washing his hands in the loo when something tugged him backwards. He looked round, but there was nothing there. He had a quick look round - all the cubicles empty and nobody anywhere else in the loo. He shrugged his shoulders and went to dry his hands, and it happened again. When he told the other musicians they said they had experienced similar happenings and that the hotel was well known for being haunted.

junecarter · 18/06/2011 01:01

ahhh shite, tis late have to go to bed....
sleep well!

TakeMeDrunkImHome · 18/06/2011 01:01

Have been thinking of all the places I have been to and had spooooooky (you have to use the extra o's) experiences. The best would be The Church House Inn in Devon. Recommend a visit to all.

kangers · 18/06/2011 01:01

TMDIH I know what you meant- is daft of me really- but thinking aboutn death so drawn to thread of course. Very interesting really. Except tall people in CCTV and werewolfs.
I think I get instincts for these things but I try and ignore it. But I listen to my premonitions- they happen all the time- mainly befoe something is about to break or before someone is about to get hurt. I also listen to gut reation about whtehr to say something, not to say something, go and see someone etc. I often stay with nothing really to do then someone will come in and something important happens. DYKWIM?

TakeMeDrunkImHome · 18/06/2011 01:03

Oh dear, I hope I didn't upset kangers, I didn't mean "wrong thread" in that way. I hope she understood that. Just worried this had become a ghost story swapshop and she was grieving for loss of MIL today. Always put my bloody foot in my mouth. Eek.

kangers · 18/06/2011 01:03

Often stay at work

TakeMeDrunkImHome · 18/06/2011 01:05

oh thank goodness, I was worrying I had upset you. It isn't daft of you at all, and I really wasn't meaning to be horrible.

I would advise you not to ignore instincts as most of the time they are right. Some of us, I think, just have that extra ability to access the mythical "6th sense" and if you are having these experiences you probably do too. Try not to overthink things at the moment, so so soon after a loss. Do your best to rest and regroup. You know you have a support network here.

kangers · 18/06/2011 01:07

OK- going to bed but also watching Basic Instinct!!

TakeMeDrunkImHome · 18/06/2011 01:09

Basic Instinct!! Bloody hell, you are done for!

HowlingBitch · 18/06/2011 01:11

That is so weird. I just started watching that on ITV + 1 one second before I refreshed this.

kangers · 18/06/2011 01:13

It has lots of Moody music which is adding to my mood/ fearfulness I am sure

TakeMeDrunkImHome · 18/06/2011 01:13

You are all clearly a bunch of netmummers. I am watching Tangled. Yes I know it is a little late but I am pretty hardcore Grin

TakeMeDrunkImHome · 18/06/2011 01:14

and also the boy cartoon, Flynn I believe, is quite nice Shock
