Spooky Farmhouse on the hill
On the walk home from school each day on the right about a mile away over the fields was a huge derelict farmhouse. I was about 8/9 years old at the time. Now my parents said "Don't let us find you up there, EVER"

Me and 3 mates went there after school one night to nose around, see what we can find (when you are 8 I wanted ghosts,adventures, rope swings and hidden money from an armed robbery). What we found was a huge farmhouse on 3 floors, stairs sort of intact but the palce had hardly any walls and no windows.

Up to the top floor we go, 3 floors down is an old rusty machine with 50 ish 1 foot spikes out of it on a roller that they drag behind a tractor, I fell through the floorboards and caught myself on my elbows. At the time all I could think of was my folks, they told me and I did not listen.

Mates help me up and we go home. If I had fell through no question dead, but in a 8.00pm Casualty that would never happen type of way.

Closest ever......

apart from when I overdosed after seeing the prodidy live at Stoke university in 93/94 ish. You know it's bad when you can hear "Shall we call 999, he's gone a funny colour now " but you can't move, speak or see. Not good in a room full of 12 people I had only met 4 hours earlier.
