2. THE Haunting

A friend of mine told me this story of her cousin whose uncle had died. The uncle's home was left to the young man and he quickly decided to move in along with his partner. When he was younger, there was much talk of the house being haunted and his uncle told him strange stories of his belongings being moved and doors being violently shut in the night. He thought it was just old wives tales with the majority of them designed to give him a fright.

The property was an old farmhouse which was hidden from the main road. His partner thought it was eerie but it had charm and their plan was to demolish most of the original structure. They were both fascinated by a second door at the frontof the house which could not be opened. They were told by family members that the key had been lost years ago and that many attempts to force it open over the years had failed.

Upon moving in, it wasn't long before things (quite literally) went bump in the night. They would wake-up to doors banging, and footsteps running throughout the house. In the morning, they would wake up to find their shoes and clothes scattered across their rooms and feel the pressure of a person laying on top of them.One night, the movement in the house got particularly out of control. They heard the voice of a woman laughing and suddenly the sound of smashing started to come from their kitchen. The kitchen had been torn asunder. Plates, glasses and cups had been flung out of their cupboards and onto the kitchen floor. Then, they heard an almighty thud coming from the outside of the house. The second door had been opened. In over fifty years, this was the first time it had been unlocked, but there was no explanation.

After that night, the couple left the house and never returned.
