Well if you insist. He was buying a house many years ago. The house was newly built by a family in the area but they wouldn't live in it and just after it was built they sold it on to another family who actually didn't stay in the house all that long either. Rumours started circulating about the house and people speculated that the house was built on some fairy fort or something to that nature. Another man bought it in the meantime but a few weeks later he was found dead inside in the house. Apparently he was a young man and was meant to be "fit as a fiddle".
People who lived near this house would say they would see things standing inside the windows of the house even though it was meant to be empty, how in the dead of night they would see lights been turned on and off and strange noises coming from the house. One man even told my father in law that he took his dog for a walk and he decided to take a wander around the outside of the house. He had the dog on the lead and when he walked through the gate the dog started screaming and wouldn't pass the gate for love nor money.
My father in law isn't a very superstitious man and he put all of these stories down to people just having vivid imaginations. The house was for sale, it was dead cheap (excuse the pun :pac: ) and he knew the man that was selling it wanted it gone and fast. However the man that was selling it didn't want my father in law to buy it. He said it would be more suited as a holiday home rather than a home to raise kids in.
My father in law then had the idea that himself and his wife would spend a night or two in the house and prove to everyone that there was nothing wrong with the place. He somehow convinced the seller to let them stay and off they went. The first night, nothing happened. They saw nothing or felt nothing unusual.They slept soundly and made no complaints about the house at all.
The second night however didn't go as smoothly. They went off to bed and a short while later my mother in law wakes up. Apparently she heard someone banging at the front door. She wakes FIL up and he goes to check but sure we all know, no ones there. He tells her just to forget about it and go back to sleep. A few hours later they both wake up to a strange humming noise. It's faint at first and they put it down to something electrical but it gets louder and it gets to the point that they can't hear anything else but this noise. It suddenly stops but the banging at the front door starts and this is now accompanied by something banging at the windows. Both of them just got up and ran for it.
My father in law met the seller the next morning and when the seller asked my father in law how he got on, my father in law told him straight out, knock the damn place.
I know it sounds like the Amityville Horror but he showed me the house this evening and it's still standing there. It's a massive wreck of a place, all over grown and parts of it have fallen in on itself. Myself and the OH took a wander around it and there was a bit of a weird vibe about the place.
Anyway here's hoping you enjoyed that Seph
