Got a coupleWhen I was 14 I was in Arisaig in the North of Scotland with my family. We were staying in a cottage with wooden walls inside, and I went into my parents' room to get my 2 year old sister who was on the bed. I was standing in the doorway talking to her when suddenly the wooden walls started to vibrate really loudly. It was a sound like when a phone vibrates on a wooden surface, only it was the whole room. My sister absolutely did her nut, she was screaming and crying, looking up at the ceiling. Then after a few seconds it stopped and she calmed down straight away.
Also, one time when my boyfriend was babysitting his little brother, he was in the living room and it was dark outside so he couldn't see outside if he looked out the window, just his own reflection. Anyway, he was getting a bit freaked out and thinking about shutting the curtains. He glanced over at the window and back at the TV, only to do a frantic double-take as he realised what he'd seen hadn't been the reflection of his face as he'd expected to see, but of the side of his own head.
So yeah, not exactly ghost stories, but freaky all the same.

i think i know...what it was that made the cottage walls vibrate.
concorde. the aeroplane.
it would make sense if it was on its way to new york.
the same thing happened in my parents' house in cornwall (when the plane was heading for the caribbean). at the same time of night, about twice a week the wooden sash windows all over the house would vibrate as the plane passed over and the sonic boom hit us. made an awful noise.
you couldn't hear the sound of the plane though - only the sound of the vibration of the windows.
not so spooky after all. happy or sad now you have a rational explanation?
