My 10 year old son often stays at his various friends houses at the weekend and in school holidays etc. Last night he was due to stay at his friend, Lee's house. Lee moved into the house last year, Luke had never stayed at his previous house. Last night about 11 o'clock we received a phone call saying Luke wanted to come home. Thinking he had been fighting with Lee, as they sometimes do at that age, his dad asked to speak to him. They had not been fighting but Luke was insistent that he wanted to come home. When he got home and I asked him why he was desperate to come home, he couldn't really explain it, but said he could 'sense' something about the house that bothered him and really couldn't bring himself to stay the night! I asked him if he could sense anything in our house, but he said no, only in his sister's, Aimee's bedroom when he looked towards her bedroom door. Funnily enough, a few years ago, Aimee who is 17 next week, came flying down the stairs, practically jumping from top to bottom, saying that whilst she was in her bedroom, she looked up and 'saw' a little boy peeping around her bedroom door. She was as white as a ghost and convinced. What do you all think? Do you believe in 'ghosts'? Carol x

yes, i believe, my wife is very psychic and to a certain extent i am too, we have had lots of experiences, some of them to wayout to expect anyone to believe, up till three years ago we had a paranormal investigation group. but having said all that, a lot of experiences are down to everyday things, and over active imaginations.

I would believe him, I often have feelings about things and sense things in certain houses and places I go. I have two little visitors in my house they come often to cause mischief but they frighten one of my daughters to death. The other night she was playing music in her bedroom and someone started singing the words to the song in her ear, she has never ran down the stairs so fast in her life! and totally refused to go back up on her own.

Yes I do believe Carol. I work with the elderly in a sheltered housing scheme and I am convinced that some of our late residents come back to visit us sometimes. Maggy

I think I do tend to believe him actually. It seems too much of a coincidence for both him and his sister to feel the same in the same room, same place. It would be so much easier if our ancestors would come back to us, there are a few things I would like to 'sense'! Such as why do they change their names around, ages about and places of birth!! Some hope! Thanks for all your interesting replies. Best wishes and Happy St George's Day. Carol x

Hi, all, a few years ago we went to view a house in Cornwall, which I believe was being sold as part of a divorce settlement. Both my son and I entered one of the bedrooms and couldn't get out quick enough, the atmosphere was thick with emotional painand misery. Needless to say, we did not put in an offer. Rooms can hold the remnants of emotions and past events, the same as the souls of past occupants. I fully believe. Donna.

I am also one that believes, my oldest had an experiance years ago, lucky for him it was a nice one, and he discribed a dog with his grandad (grandad had died a year before hand) the dog had died while sons dad was young, so my son could not have known what the dog looked like, and no photos of dog either.

Thanks Deanna, Pink and Speedy. Funnily enough, he wasn't scared when he came home, just seemed a bit embarassed! I think he thought we wouldn't believe him. He is quite a sensitive soul and I think I mentioned on the boards once, that when he was younger, I asked him if he could rememer anything of before he was born. He confidently told me that yes, he could remember it was warm and dark, and that there was a big 'ropey' thing in his way. Umibilical cord?? Who knows! He could be the next Doris Stokes!! Best wishes, Carol.
