One of favourite (re: least favourite) ghostly tale comes from a friend of mine, Dave, the same Dave who was in the other single bed during what shall be referred to as HKI (The Hong Kong Incident).
He regaled us with this story, much to my annoyance as I have a problem with ghosts. You just can’t fight them. Your MA skills come to naught when faced with an apparition. Monsters you can fight, made of flesh and blood, you can at least but up a struggle and punch and kick, and apply submissions, but there’s no such luck with ghosts.
Anyway, it seems that when he was younger he was a problem child, in that when it was time to go sleepy byes he would scream and scream and scream, sometimes quite violently. He was taken to various doctors, who diagnosed whatever it is they diagnosed (mental issues). He saw specialists and would still scream and scream and refuse to go to sleep.
It seems that the wee tyke was seeing things in his room. Docs put it down to the imagination of a young child, etc., etc. However, things got so bad that, out of desperation, his mum took him to see a spiritualist. The spiritualist advised that my mate Dave’s “third eye” was wide open, it shouldn’t be, as it was allowing him to “see things he shouldn’t”. That “things he shouldn’t” turned out to be two old women who would appear from the corner of his bedroom and walk towards his bed...
The spiritualist said that he could “close” his third eye and re-open it at a later date (30 years later my mate still hasn’t had it “re-opened”).
Anyway, that night, he went to his room kicking and screaming again, and again saw the old women appear in the corner of his room and advance on him. Then, and he absolutely swears it is true, he claims that the spiritualist appeared from under this bed and basically told the old women that they were no longer welcome, who promptly vanished and were never seen again...
My mate swears blind that this happened and his mother refuses to even talk about it. Maybe it was the imaginations of a child and the desperation of a mother, still, it was a rather creepy story to hear at the time.
Another friend of mine also claims to live in a haunted flat. He saw an old women looking at him from his bedroom doorway. It seems that the block of flats he is in used to be old people’s homes. When I quizzed him on why he didn’t sell up and got the hell out of there, he said he didn’t feel threatened, and found it sort of “comforting”...
