Old Houses
my place is quite old - the main bit is 250 years old, and the extension was done in about 1910. the place creaks and moans like there is footsteps. I have learnt to ignore those.

The bits i don't like so much are the animal ghosts. There are loads of them. Theres been a jack russel in the garden at 3am whilst having a late party, which ran off into the woods. 3 people saw that and went to find it - nothing. There is a cat which sits on the end of my bed, thats so heavy it could be a small person. Theres nothing there. I have also heard one of our cats come home and meow - 24 hours after they were run over outside.

My mrs has had bizarre dreams about an animal graveyard on our land with literally hundreds of souls and - even more strangely so has my sister whom lives 200 miles away, and independently told me. We are about 600m as the crow flies from the roman burial site at Spetisbury Rings. Add to this the occasional fox sex session on the meadow, where it sounds like babies being tortured to death and it just adds to the problem. The next dream was about wasps coming up out of the ground - about 7 days later our friends dog trampled on a nest in our garden and got 100 odd stings (he was ok - vets within an hour, anti-histamine jab and steroid jab).

And there is a person ghostie whom all my family except me have spotted. An old fella, probably died in the house years ago. I notice him as just a feeling of definitely not being alone, and now can't stay up after my wife as i can feel him there. Its not threatening, just really unnerving!

Trouble is, they only really manifest after dusk. There are so many little glimpses of something moving in the peripheral vision that i am certain that something is moving.

The only sighting i was really not believing was when my wife spoke at lentgh to one of the Russian royal families whom were apparently there in the garden to talk to. This one, was just overdoing the Gordons and red wine. But, she genuinely beleived they were there at the time. Can the brain really make something up with that depth whilst being so drunk you are just about to puke?

Time to organise another summer bonfire party and see what a summers night brings this year. Lets hope i grow some hair on my balls to cope with it too.

We've got a ghost dog
...which is forever wondering around the kitchen.

There's also a grave up the garden marked "Bobby"

I'm sure you won't change your mind, but...
... since evrything "you" know, whatever "you" is, is based on signals in your brain. There's no need to invoke "ghosts" to explain these things -- they're the product of having suvh complex brains.
