I moved into my house almost two years ago.
It is a small, single storey property comprising one
bedroom, lounge kitchen and bathroom. The house is ten
years old and was built on a farm building originally used
to house pigs. The house is made from reclaimed bricks and
made into a barn converted style property.
When I purchased the house it was vacant possession as I
was told by the estate agent that a couple had bought the
house for their mom and she didn't like it and moved back to
the area she had come from and so the house remained empty
for 18 months.
Strange goings on first started whenever I was in the house
alone, sat at my PC in the bedroom. I would hear a knocking
on the wall from behind my computer. I walked into the
kitchen which is the other side of the wall expecting to
see something knocking against the wall, but there was
nothing. I checked behind the computer to see if the table
was banging the wall or the monitor but both were a
distance from the wall. Bemused I sat down and carried on
with my work. This continued frequently for a few months
and then stopped and hasn't happened since.
The next thing that happened was not pleasant. On Christmas
eve my girlfriend placed Xmas presents on and stacked
against my late great nans chair in the lounge with the
bedroom leading straight off the lounge. I was lying in bed
in the early hours awake but with my eyes closed when I
heard voices. I first heard a mans voice say "where are
they?" followed by a womans voice saying "they're in there"
I opened my eyes immediately and looked at my girlfriend
who was fast asleep and first thought she was talking in
her sleep which she has never done before, nor since. I
then realised I had also heard a mans voice before the
womans voice. I lay there in bed still, listening,
wondering if there were intruders in the house. I never
heard anything and so presumed I had dreamt it.
On Xmas morning my girlfriend walked into the lounge and
said to me "oh what have you done this for?" I got up and
walked in wondering what I had done to see the presents
strewn all over the floor, away from where we had stacked
them, but still in the wrapping paper, with no paper torn.
Two days ago (21/07/03) I had another encounter. Again I
was in the house alone working on the PC when I heard loud
breathing. At first I thought it was the sound of my own
breathing but slowly I started to have doubts. I held my
breath and still the breathing noise continued. I then held
my hand over my mouth and nose tight but still the
breathing noise continued. I turned around expecting to see
someone behind me but there was no one there. I got up and
walked to the window s to see if the noise could be coming
from outside but no, it was from within the room. The
breathing continued for about 15 minutes and then stopped.
I am now left wondering what will happen next. It's not a
case of if, it's a case of when.
