Ghosts
Simple really. Have you ever seen a ghost?

Ok, here is mine, bit long winded but I’ll tell it anyway.

My parents old house where we grew up was a very strange place. It was a big 5 bedroom place and a very weird design, really long hallways and it always looked like it was going to fall down.

Anyway, my bro (aged about 5 at this point) would always be laughing and crying with laughter as soon as he went to bed every night, this went on for weeks and everytime one of my parents walked into his room he would stop laughing and pretend to sleep. He would never say what was making him laugh so much, and I mean this went on all night until about 4ish when he would then fall asleep.

Then one night (which turned out to be our last in the house) he was really laughing and going completely nuts in his room, I walked in to see what he was doing (I was about 10 I reckon) and he stopped and started screaming about his “friend” He then told me that he was laughing at the children playing by the window, now there was f**k all by the window so I got spooked, he then said they were climbing up the bed to him and was laughing away again. I got out of there and ran down to mum & dad, dad came up with me and walked into his room and I followed. Bearing in mind this was pretty “normal” now so dad was just telling him to calm down etc etc. He then looked at me (I was over by the window) and just went completely white and staring into the top corner of the room. He slowly walked over to me picked me up and my younger bro and bolted out the room.

We went to our grans that night and never went back. Well us kids didn’t, I guess they did to pack, it was sold within a few weeks as it was going cheap (no sh*t) and we moved into a B&B whilst getting a new home.

My younger bro never had anymore laughing fits and doesn’t remember anything about it, my dad has never said what he saw and I don’t think I want to know.

I think it was about a year after we left that the house collapsed one night. It was a very strange place and ive got chills now just thinking about it.

Im not sure I believe in ghosts or anything as I didn’t see anything but I know it really scared my mum & dad who just refuse to talk about it.
