To start another spooky thread?

[Elfintreehuggywugger]

DD (3) came downstairs earlier this week and said ‘mummy, there’s a man in my room and he knows my name.’

Cue frantic search upstairs through cupboards, under beds etc. Nothing.

I asked he what this man looked like, he apparently had a hat on and ‘bits of material from his trousers and over his shoulders’ which I assumed to be braces. He was old, very tall, with sticky out ears and had ‘a nice, squishy face.’

I told DH and he said that she’d described his DF to a Tee. DH’s DF would’ve been 110 had he still been alive, he was 40 odd years older than DH’s DM. He died before DH was born.

He dug an old photo album out and sure enough, loads of pictures of this old man with a very kind, soft featured face, very prominent ears, a hat, braces and very tall. DH sat DD on his lap this evening and went through the photo album. After flicking through the album she went back to one particular picture and said ‘mummy, that’s the man who knew my name.’

DH is freaked out but I think it’s quite nice.

I'm normally very sceptical about stuff lile that, but there's no other explanation is there really?!

Frog me too. Not that I can think of. Another thing that struck me was how she was completely blasé about it all.

Currently watching Veronica on Netflix and now just read this thread... I’m so creeped out..... 😱👻

Ahh, that’s lovely though. Freaky but lovely 😊

starmix ohhh is it any good?

I love a spooky thread. I have one from when my gran and grandad had a young family (5dc) and they were having a get together and had congregated in the kitchen.

They heard the piano playing. So my gran rushed into the sitting room to give 1 of the dc a telling off for being up late but there was no-one there. She checked the dc and they were all sound asleep. She walked back into the living room and she saw an old man staring into the window. On the first floor!

I guess she wouldn't have had any concept that what she saw wasn't an actual person I suppose...! I agree that I think it's nice.

Always remember my DD when she was about 9months old giggling and pointing to “something” in the corner like it was hysterical in the bathroom. Pulled her out the bath so quickly. Freaked me out no end, my DF had passed away 3 months previously 😱

glitter your poor gran! Must’ve been terrifying!

Scotsmum babies and pets seem to sense so much more than we do!

Elfintreehuggywugger It is extremely unsettling....

It comes from a long list of ghost stories she told me but this was her first experience. She was never scared, well not after a while anyway. Her motto was “the living will do you more harm than the dead”. She was a very strict catholic and I don’t know if that reinforced her beliefs or went against them. I’m not religious myself.

I’ve been watching Requiem on BBC1. Currently on episode 4 (I know I can watch them all on iPlayer but there’s fuck all else on TV on a Friday night) I’m loving it!

Glitter yes she was completely right there.

I think that's lovely and rather comforting.

Elfin I’ll have to watch it. I know there’s not much else to watch. I’m normally good with horrors but this Veronica is proving very scary indeed.

To clarify I am a non religious person.
I have a little 'boy' in my life, calls me mammy and laughs in my bedroom, knocks on the door and stands beside my bed. He sits on my bed and bounces on dc beds (confirmed by ds 23). Part of the family tbh.

I love a spooky thread! OP that's freaky but really sweet!

Sounds like a load of rubbish to me!

I had a similar experience as a child. Was staying with grandparents when I was 5/6. It was a weekend and all of my aunt's and uncles would come over to play cards. Db and I had our own room there and I was sat up colouring in. A man came in and sat on the end of the bed and we had a nice chat about what I was colouring, asking how my mum was, was I enjoying school etc. The usual old relative questions. He gave me a kiss on the head, said goodnight and left. I didn't think anything of it for years, but it's one of my clearest memories. When I was 18 my gran pulled out her old photos and as I was flicking through them I came across one of a man standing by an old coal fire. I told her I remembered meeting him at her old house and she burst into tears. The pic was of her dad who had passed 15 or so years before I was born. I can remember him clear as day, he was a solid, whole person.

I'm normally very sceptical about stuff lile that, but there's no other explanation is there really?!

of course there is. You may not know what it is, but that doesn't mean the explanation is that dead relatives are talking to your children

April that’s lovely.

Starmix is it a supernatural? I’m intrigued now, don’t think I could watch it on my own though.

Requiem isn’t all that scary really, it’s quite gripping and slightly unnerving in parts.

Go on another thread redred. You’ll find something to put your input on.

Ds at aged three told me he could see animals hanging in our dining room, the house was very old and at one point had been a butchers shop.

He also told myself and dh that his other mummy and daddy died along time ago when he was seven (he's four)
They burned and burned and burned and then they were gone.

Oh i see the sceptic arses are out early tonight. You do know there's a million other threads you could be wasting your energy on. Leave us spook lovers to it.
