If you have lived in a paranormal/haunted house, how do you find it?

Ordered Haunted Cork and have read a couple of pages so far.

Got it through Amazon BTW, I find them very reliable. Ordered on the Friday and it arrived on Tuesday morning.

I checked the Easons in O'Connell Street, Patrick Street in Cork, the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre and the Drogheda Town Centre and I couldn't see the book anywhere. I was just around, like, so I said I'd have a look. I approached a sales assistant in the Drogheda outlet and she checked the system just to be sure and, no, they didn't have it.

So if someone finds the book in Easons anytime soon, I'd be interested to know!

But, yeah, it is cheaper (and more hassle-free) to just order it off Amazon instead.

This is what history press says

We do supply Easons with the physical books – they are our largest customer in fact - and they should always, in theory, have the books in stock. If they run out, they just re-order from their warehouse.

In practice, however, the people working in the shops can sometimes say it’s not on the system when it’s sold out. One of those things, but in this case, we will certainly contact Easons in Cork and make sure there is actually no issue about ordering this title.

So, yes, it should be in all the bookshops, and is definitely set-up for any bookshop in the country to be able order if they do not have stock or run out.

That's grand. The onus is on the staff in these outlets to give the correct info really and to order the book if it's sold out.

Btw, it was the staff in Easons in the Drogheda Town Centre whom I approached, who checked their system - not the Easons in Cork.

The usual. Though lately when i'm going to sleep at 3/4 in the morning and my Dad is asleep, I can hear creaking in the floor boards. It's the same noise as when my Dad gets out of bed and moves around, but my Dad is snoaring!

I can remember one time a couple of weeks back when the end of my foot was sticking out at the end of my bed and I felt something hit it when I was pulling it in. (That is where the vibration thingies are at most). Even weirder another time is when I was folding the bottom of my bed sheet over with my feet, my feet went about 2 feet into the air and I hit something solid. I have a feeling what these spirits/ghosts/whatever look like. Before it appearently floated into my room. It had a face, it was like the face was mist, but the face didn't seem alive. It was looking straight ahead as if it knew where it was going, but the face was just dead, it didn't have that "pierce" that a human face has when looking ahead, it didn't have the facial pattern of "i'm going ahead" but it was moving. It's "eyes" were facing straight ahead.

It appeared to be female. I have no doubt that these things have intelligence, and seem to be in the shape of humans. Even my uncle who stays here sometimes, he says he doesn't believe in ghosts most of the time. But I mentioned to him a black mist in the house, and he gave me a look as if to say "you saw it too?".

I

But to make the floorboards creak, it must have mass or weight? Yet we are led to believe that it "floats".

Don't eat cheese before going to bed, is the best advice

Yes. It was for a split second out of the corner of my eye, when I picked up my PS3 controller was when my eyes were least trained to keeping an eye out on the edge of my peripheral vision.

Regards Fuzzy Clams comment, I don't know whether it floats or not all the time. It seems to have the ability to hit stuff and cause creaks but I when I said I saw it that was the only time I saw it close to clearly, right at the center of my eyesight. Other time it is in my peripheral vision for a bit. After I saw it head on I left my place for a good couple of hours. I invited my girlfriend to stay that night as I wouldn't sleep alone.

In the attack of my place today, which I recently done up, I heard 3 loud bangs. My girl went was away from the place, I was the only person inside.

Before it was only a normal attic, but since it got renovated and I started using it, this only happened.
