A strange occurrence....

Ah! Perhaps that's it.

Lots of mysterious tales come out of Cornwall (

A friend of mine found a photo on the floor in her bedroom. It was of people she had never seen before and no-one else in her family knew who the people were. She had had no recent visitors and to this day has never found out how it got there.

Also we had a strange smell in our house for ages and couldn't think what it was. It was driving me crazy not being able to find out where it came from. Eventually we discovered it was coming from a cannabis factory in the house door!!

I was once working alone in the primary school where I taught. It was the holidays and no one else was in. I glanced up to see a man in a grey suit going past my classroom in the corridor. Surprisingly I wasn't frightened but looked out and no one was there. When I mentioned it later to the caretaker and school secretary, my description matched the previous head teacher who had died in post. No one ever did lone working in the school again!

Yes, if you wrap cling film around something and apply gentle heat it will cause it to contract so giving it a professional touch ?

Had to pop back on to this thread to find out how on earth the discussion had turned to heating up cling film!

Anybody else hoping like hell the trainers belong to the blind man?

PS I looked on Google, but can't find anything about a woman's dismembered body in the loft in Delabole.

Bez1989 mentioned the body in the attic in the 1950s and whitewave said ?Delabole? and I assumed that whitewave had heard the story before and was asking if it was in Delabole.

I think I added 2 + 2 and made 7 and thought it was Delabole
Please ignore, my mind was racing ahead and making connections that weren't there, never assume anything is a good motto.

Thank you for the tip about the clingfilm judypark

Jalima I knew what you meant and just thought I'd give Google a try. Maybe all will be revealed tomorrow.

Next door are away and I have a spare key so I can look after their guinea pigs, open and close their curtains and water their plants.

Just come back from there now and thought I heard footsteps coming from their bedrooms. Yesterday I thought I heard a bumping noise too, from upstairs. Didn't like to go and look, just shor through to their back forever and out to the garden and exited via their back gate.

Should I go back with DH and a rounders bat?

Anya yes! Years ago I was feeding friends cats and the burglars were getting in the back door as I was locking up the front! Long story, but they got away with nothing!

Did go and check J52 and no one / nothing there ..didn't like to look in their wardrobes though ....

I had a key for my Step-Mum's house when she was away. Got the fright of my life with my Step-Brother came down the stairs. He'd slept there instead of driving home because he'd been drinking. Idiot thought it was fun to give me a scare.

Anya if the house is a semi or in a terrace, sound travels, and it may have come from the house next door?

I'm happy to accept that as an explanation roses

My DS is popping into a friend's house while he is on holiday to feed the cat and the rabbits. Last night he found the recliner chair fully reclined which it hadn't been the day before. He jokingly texted his friend to tell him he had a ghost. He replied, 'It's OK. It'll just be my mum.' It used to be her house and her ashes are in the attic.

I've tried to think of explanations but none are very convincing

Apparently, if you deliberately take a rounders bat, cricket bat or other "weapon" with you to investigate a possible break-in, you can be prosecuted by the police. If you use it, you will be prosecuted by the police. Watch out Anya. P.s. I don't think there is a possibility of prosecution if the weapon you take is your DH.
