Freddie's Back!

We live in a traditional farmhouse which was probably built with ancient stone from a nearby ruin. We have a pillar on each side of the sitting room fireplace. Legend has it that two brothers once lived here and jointly inherited it. They had an argument and one murdered the other.

We now occasionally have spooky occurrences. One of the bedroom doors sometimes opens and we hear footsteps walk along the landing and down the stairs. At the end of its journey the stair door opens.

But we're not afraid of the ghost. We say "Oh Fred we do wish you'd learn to shut the door" every time it happens. We have 4 adult children, the two girls are now married and only one of our sons now lives at home.

We have all experienced "Fred" and it is my son's bedroom door that opens. He is not bothered by it at all. Even our 3 dogs and 3 cats do not react to friendly 'Fred'.

Mrs Jane F.
