So, on #wittertainment kermode and mayo were talking about smooky experiences. I'm a nurse and I used to run our local skeptics in the pub, so not someone jnscienced based. But I have worked in hospitals and care homes where many deaths have happened and I can definitely there is something that happens when you have that. A feeling and a presence. A local hospital has been made into houses and you could not give me one of those.
But I had a weird experience that I cannot explain away. I have a good friend who just knows stuff. She will contact me if something is wrong without knowing that. She visited our new houses where things were just going missing. Screws that were on the floor next to me, stuff like that. She came to me the next morning and said my house is kinda sentient and was trying to tell me something was really wrong at the one side of the house. Our survey hadn't said anything worrying so I had no idea
That Sunday our builder had to go into the attic to check the tiles on the roof we knew about and came down with a brick from the collapsing chimney. None of us knew, the surveyor had missed it. We talked about what to do and got a structural engineer out, while getting a refund from the surveyor. The night after we agreed to remove it I woke abruptly, sure someone had walked into my bedroom. I was CERTAIN someone was in there with me. I was freaked but said calmly that sometimes we have to...
Remove broken bits of us humans too and it would be really well cared for. Feeling vanished. Now the last bit could be my tired brain worrying about it but how the hell did she know that was there??
