In the early 90's, Ellie Addams, a young single mother , down on her luck, lost her home due to the recession and was living in various bed and breakfasts and caravans. She was eventually given a semi-permanent place to stay, by the government, The Tower Apartments, which was a big old house that had been sectioned into individual units for rent. These apartments were built over an old orphanage, which had been called the Darley Dene House, in a section of Surrey, England, called Addlestone. This is also where our ghost and the subject of our story, Amy, lost her own life and her family to a fire, which is why her spirit seemed to cling to that area.

Instead, Ellie suggested instead of her coming into her mother's bedroom at night that she would sleep in her daughter's room with her hoping this would calm and ease the child.

A good glass of hot milk was brought up to sooth Jessica, and the two settling down in the bed in hopes that this would calm the frightened little girl and regain some normalcy to her life. Ellie was startled out of a light sleep by the sensation of being psychically pushed whilst in her daughter's bed, yet no one was there.
