We have become accustomed to ghosts in our house. They are now part of the family and who knows maybe they are my family. They don't frighten us much but there is always that special occasion when they want to get a little more attention. Actually I think this house would not be the same without them. I don't believe they are out to hurt any of us.

The first incident which naturally frightened me was when I was in my late teens. My baby and myself were the only ones in the house and when I heard a noise downstairs I went to investigate. I sneaked down each step , heart thumping in my chest and when I reached the hallway I opened the press under the stairs only to be confronted by a face. I just froze staring at it. My breathing increased, my heart was thumping so fast I could feel it in my neck. I then banged the door and ran terrifed up the stairs with the feeling something was going to grab my leg through the bannisters. I banged my bedroom door and felt safe there but no way was I going outside this room till the morning. I never forget that night I thought I was going crazy seeing things. I was awake all night and no one really believed me. Even today it scares me to think about it but I never seen it since although I do sense it. As I sit at this computer writing this story I am in the same place I saw it. Even today when I turn off all the lights at night and go to bed I try to be mature and logical and walk up the stairs in the dark and not look down through the bannisters incase I see someone looking back at me and be calm, but when I get to the sixth step my speed increasing and I usually end up rushin into the bedroom breathless. I never look back I am afraid of what I would see. I always feel there is something behind me till I get right inside the bedroom door. I feel like something is rushing up the stairs after me. I dread when I forget to check something or left something downstairs I wanted because I never want to go back down.

My eldest son who was present that night but was only a baby at the time sees a lot in the house. He talks all the time about a dark tall figure walking up and down our hall way. He sees it from the corner of his eye but if he turns it's gone. He also was woken every night with a tapping ot clicking noise or calling of his name and he realise after some time if he said " Yes I hear you and I want to sleep ok" it stopped. Everytime he returns here the same thing happens. He believes it some kind of portal which is kind
