I always felt uneasy about turning the light out in the bedroom my brother and I shared,and indeed had several night lights for a good number of years.

As we got older (my brother was 4yrs younger than me) we both started having nightmares,I started sleep walking and talking - which really freaked my parents out! And neither my brother or I were at all comfortable in that part of the house.

One night my brother woke me screaming - he'd seen a woman standing at the foot of his bed! I turned the light on and, you've guessed it there was nothing there. I have to say I didn't see a thing, but he was just too freaked out for it to just be a dream,I'm sure it was reall.

After that our parents played down the whole thing, no such thing as ghosts etc. We carried on having nightmares,and I carried on sleepwalking/talking.

Eventually we managed to get a place in Basingstoke Hampshire,and in the months leading up to the move, my Dad investigated the house's history. Apparently when 1 and 3 Aldbridge sreet were destroyed there was only one fatality- a woman was killed in No1 next door to us. Also Dad went into the attic and found a shed-load of rubble from next door

As soon as we moved away all the nightmares etc went away,both my brother and I slept soundly at night.

When I reached 16 (1981 - yes I know I'm old!) The old house in London was scheduled for demolition,so I thought I'd pay it a visit. I climbed over the fence and into the house for one last look around. Know what? I couldn't climb the stairs to my bedroom, I just froze,turned around and legged it - I was terrified!

I hadn't seen a thing, but the feeling of fear was overwhelming - weird huh?

That's some scary ****. My friend had an alien story but I don't remember it in enough detail to retell it here. Maybe I'll ask him tomorrow.
