Soon after 18-year-old Carissa Glenn moved into her new Cornwall flat, she began sensing a presence. She had the feeling that someone or something was there when she was alone at night, and she often brought it up with family and friends over the month or so that she lived in the flat. She could hardly have been that surprised, she'd heard a rumor before moving in that the previous tenant had hanged himself.

According to her friends, she would have extraordinarily vivid nightmares about hanging, in addition to the feelings of being haunted. Her friends were concerned, as Carissa had a history of sleepwalking-and of acting out her dreams. And though the rumor about the previous tenant actually proved false, Carissa may have just been haunted after all.

On April 14, 2008, the "happy young woman" who had been out for drinks with friends the evening before, hung herself with a scarf. Well, her friends agree she'd been happy except for one thing-she sometimes didn't want to go back to her flat at night because of the presence and the dreams.

And with that, we'll wish you your own sweet dreams!
