I once stayed in a villa on holiday in Spain that was haunted.
There were 2 buildings - the main villa and a second smaller annex, that my older brother slept in, with an olive tree between them.

I was about 10 and shared a room in the main building with my younger brother who would have been about 8.

The first night I woke up in the middle of the night (no idea what the time was) to see a man standing at the bottom of my bed and the room was freezing cold. I just pulled the blanker over my head and went back to sleep.

In the morning I told my parents and point blank refused to sleep in there again so was moved into the annex with my older brother - which seriously pissed him off!

The next night my dad woke up in the middle of the night and was convinced that someone was at the bottom of his bed and leapt out of bed shouting and threw his bedside light across the room at "him". But, you guessed it, there was no-one there.

At this point we're all a bit freaked out and there was talk of being moved to another villa or even going home.

The next day the weekly cleaner rocked up and tells my dad that 3 years previously a man had hanged himself from the tree that was between the 2 buildings.

After that it was fine. No more visitations and we had a nice holiday.

I don't believe in ghosts but this happened and it still gives me goosebumps over 30 years later.
