The haunting of my great aunty - who isnt even dead yet.
Seriously, these spirits whoever they are, can not only reappear in our world, but im sure they can fucking time travel.

My great aunty, shes old and frail. had loads of health problems, is a bit of a nutcase now as a result. But somehow her frail body just keeps on going trapping her in a life she doenst want. Shes asked for assisted suicide on numerous occasions.

Anyway she gave my mother a clock. Which had a big ben style chime. (You know the little tune before the bongs) It was an old clock for the mantlepiece. Hundred years old or whatever. It had lived on my parents mantlepiece for a while. Eventually they got tired of it not keeping the correct time and having to wind it up every day. So they left it stopped.

10 miles away, I had gotten myself a cheapy tescos wireless doorbell. When pressed it went "bing bong" normal doorbell song.
After a few months of having this doorbell, im suddenly alerted to it making the same tune my great aunts clock would normally make at the top of every hour. Except no one was at the door, and the doorbell normally just goes bingbong. It was a cheap thing and didnt have any settings to change its chyme. It only did it that once and it was rather strange.

A few days later my mums telling me that the clock also just randomly chymed that tune. Despite the fact it had been wound down for many months. It suddenly started chiming. And yes it seemed it may have happened at around about the same time as my doorbell "malfunctioned"

10 years ago the phone rang at my mums. I answered it and it was my great aunt. Or so I thought it was. It certinately sounded like her, but she was incredibly confused and the voice was somewhat distorted. I remember it freaking me out a bit at the time. She didnt seem to understand me and just hung up after a minute of confusion. But what did I hear in the background of the call? Yup that chyme. I'd totally forgotten about it.

I promise this is all 100% true. Its probably all coincidence. The door bell or clock never chymed themselves since though.
