It certainly made me go.
When I was about 14 my big sister had been asked to house-sit at the local vicarage in the village while the owners went on holiday. That winter the snow was thicker than I'd ever seen and in the evening she rang up to see if I'd like to come over to watch a video with her. I jumped on my bike and ploughed through the snow for about two miles before reaching the place. Together we picked a video out and I made her wait before putting it on while I went to the toilet. She gave me directions: upstairs and halfway along the corridor that went the whole length of the upstairs floor. As I sat there in the loo, I heard my sister walk along this upstairs corridor, past the door and then stop. As I came out of the loo, I looked to my right to see what she was doing there but there was no-one in sight. I ran down the stairs and she was sitting on the sofa, just as I'd left her.
"What were you doing upstairs?" I asked.
"I haven't been upstairs" she said. Now I started to get worried.
"Don't mess me around" she said, seeing the look on my face. "You know I've got to stay here tonight. Stop telling stories."
"Someone walked down the corridor and past the toilet door!" I said in a very shaky voice "and if you think I'm staying in this place to watch a video, you're very mistaken."
With that, I ran out of the vicarage, got on my bike and cycled all the way home in the dark and the snow, leaving my poor sister alone. Nearly thirty years later and I've never apologised.
