I think I didThough parts of this story may be poorly remembered and mixed up.
When I was about 9 my school took us on a five day residential trip to Hadrian's Wall, we stayed at this youth hostel not far from there. It was apparently where tea had first been brewed and was called First Brew or something. Anyway, I was one of the first to finish dinner there and went upstairs to get my money for the vending machine. When you get to the top of the stairs there, there's a door to the corridor our room, then at the end of the corridor, another door with a glass pane. I opened the door and some guy in year 6 (Terry or something) told me he'd just looked through the glass pane and seen an old woman beconing him. He was really freaked and ran downstairs. So, I grabbed my money as quickly as I could, ran to the end of the corridor, opened the door to the stairs and just saw a huge purple blur rush past it and through the wall, so I legged it downstairs. Didn't think anything of it till I told my dad when I got back.
Couple of days later, I'd told Terry about it while we were there, and he came up to me to say that he'd told the manager who said that a woman had died in one of the rooms in that corridor, wearing a purple shirt. Don't know how much I believe it though.
And it's not strictly ghost like, but if I'm thinking of a bad memory or often for no reason, I'll spazz out for a few seconds and say something without meaning to, usually 'I want to go home' I can remember this happening since I was about 7. The other day in Drama at school the teacher was talking and I just said 'a duck' for no reason at all. It's freaking me out because it's like something's controlling me, and it seams like the right kinda thread cos I can say some ghost's controlling me or whatever. So,anyone offer any form of explination?
