Some years ago whilst renovating the house we had a wall taken down. The wall formed a small hallway from the front door into the main living room. As it made the room seem so small we decided to have it knocked through.
Once it was done and the room was redecorated we noticed one evening the curtains were moving ever so slightly. Initially I thought it was a draught from the window. When it continued to happen every night I began to wonder. One particular night the curtain caught my eye, I asked if anyone was there and it moved much faster then stopped, I asked a series of questions and found out it was the spirit of a young child. A little girl. She was very unhappy and upset as she was looking for her daddy, she couldn't find her daddy and she was waiting for him to come home from the river. I was given a date of over a hundred years previous. I explained to her that her daddy didn't live here and no one else would be arriving. She then disappeared and I didn't see anything else for quite some time around the curtains. Some weeks later the same thing happened again with the curtains. It always made me feel so sad for her she was obviously lost and trapped. Someone eventually managed to cross her over and reunite her with her parents.
In the back garden the washing line was hanging off of an old ships mast, as the house was originally built for dockers working on the river at some point one of the dockers must have brought the mast home from a ship which had either been lost or being disposed of. We found out that the little girls Daddy did in fact work on the river, perhaps he was on one of the boats, perhaps the mast was from his boat or in some way connected to him.
It was a sad story but I was happy once she got crossed over. Once she had crossed over the curtains stopped twitching altogether.
On that note I wish you all a spooktastic Halloween. If you're at home tonight I'd recommend tuning into the pilot episode of UK Haunted which starts tonight at 10pm on showcase TV (UK ONLY) it sounds like it's going to be a good show with no acting, nothing put on and nothing fake.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
If you look up in the sky during the witching hour you might just see me fly by on my broomstick with my cat on the back.
