MOSE Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I've pretty much held this back for a little while, cos after talking, in confidence, with a few mates about this, they think I have finally flipped. Me and the missus have lived in this house now for 8 months. The house is a new build, on land that used to be used by the army. No one else lived here. Shortly after moving in, we were planning our wedding in Mauritius, and we needed specific documentation (mainly birth certs, decree absolutes etc) to send to the court in Port Louis. We hunted out the paperwork, got it photocopied and sent away. The originals were put back in the filing cabinet......but never to be seen again. We put all the original bits of paperwork we needed, together with passorts and tickets etc all in the same place. But the most important documents disappeared. A week or so after that, we had to register with the new doctors place and I went and got the forms to fill in and placed these under my 3D M3 Paperweight on our table. Following morning they have disappeared never to be seen again. There have been times when I have been working away that the missus has called me completely spooked out. She keeps smelling burning rolling tobacco, which is a very distinctive smell and on occassion I have witnessed this when I have walked through the front door. Its wierd, almost as if someone is sitting with you smoking a rollie. More recently we have noticed a lot of markings that resemble childlike drawings on some of the interior walls. They can be easily washed off, but reappear. Last weekend we are both sitting in the offi working on our PCs and the phone rings. I go to pick it up after about 4 rings and it stops. So....do a 1471 and find out that our phone has called itself. It was really spooky. I called BT the following day and they could not give a single reason why this would happen. This has happened a few times since. I was up late last night watching Donnie Darko on my own. Living room door closed, but not closed tight. Door suddenly opens, almost as if a dog or cat had pushed it open. Freaked me right out. I have never been a person to believe in spooks or spirits or mischievous ghosts, but since living here I am convinced that our place is haunted. Or have me and the missus lost it completely?? Anyone else had wierd things like this happen?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 well I just shat myself reading your description - especially the part about the kiddies drawings on the walls Have you thought about getting someone in to do an exorcism ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSE Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Just the thought of that makes me feel cold Bazza. Not sure about exorcisms....I have this thing in my head that it might make matters worse. Specially after seeing some documentaries and films about it. Forget to mention this bit. Both of us keep our phone chargers in the office and I could not find mine anywhere and it all ended up in a big row. I wouldnt have any reason to take it out of the house and for 3 days I searched everywhere for it. The bloody thing was on the passenger seat of my Espace, which I hadnt driven for at least a week. After that we talked about moving cos it was one of those situations that you could figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a4tdi130 Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Next time you get the drawings on your walls, take photos and post them up here, I'd be very interested in looking at them. One thing though - and don't take this the wrong way - once you _think_ there is "something" going on, everything that happens will be perceived as paranormal. Moving something yourself then forgetting that you've done it, the wife tidying up not realising she has moved something important. Important things going missing that you swear you haven't touched, only for them to turn up months later in a suitcase or briefcase because you had to use them for something that you forgot about. I _DO_ believe in ghosts because I've had some 100% positive sightings and therefore I do believe it's very possible that you could have a ghost living with you. However, first you need to start looking at more obvious things. Do you set an alarm at night and do you find things have happened in rooms where you have PIR sensors without it being triggered? Do neighbours/friends/relatives have keys to your house (if so, ask for them all back and see if these things stop). Are the smells related to certain weather conditions? We get odd smells near my house when it's rained and then goes very hot quickly due to the type of land the houses are built on. And for christs sake, don't go watching Donnie Darko on your own at night you muppet, that'll just make you ten times worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Mose, pretty much everything you describe could be explained away by a paranormal investigator.... ...except the drawings. You really should speak to someone if these reappear - and you should note the times and dates when you spot them. As much as this guy is now on TV and his personality has been somewhat diluted, he's reputed to be one of the very best and I understand you often don't pay a penny for the services because they use it for future shows....

MOSE Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 XC.... If I take photos of drawings, I am sure ppl will think I have drawn them myself. These are like scribbles or even something that resembles a typical drawing a 2yr old would make. But they keep appearing, not that often but often enough for us to think WTF???. One of my mates suggested that it might be one of the kids, but the kids dont live with me. Its all really wierd. On the wall at the top of the stairs, there was a marking on there in BLUE. When I saw it I freaked and just went out for a long drive. The only thing I can offer as a cause of this is that from time to time we have had contractors in to deal with defects, but if they marked a wall surely they would put it right. But I do take on board the point of coming to quick conclusions. AS soon as something wierd happens here BOTH of us instantly say its the ghost!! Like the paperwork that has gone missing, both of us are very specific where we put things like that, and it has never ever been seen again. Passports were there, but no decree absolutes or birth certificates. We've had the place upside down looking for them, but have never found them despite actually watching the missus file it all away.

It's very possible you are being subjected to a prank by somebody with keys, or a contractor with a grudge, or even a burglar who keeps coming back. Things like birth certificates might not seem like something worth nicking, but armed with those and a utility bill they can go and open a bank account in your name. Is your house secure at night and do you alarm it? If not, that would be my first point of call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Mose - i'd be more inclined to suspect foul play. Someone, it seems, may have a key you don't know about? Are they still showing people round the site in show homes. Does the building site manager smoke roll-ups or a pipe? Perhaps people are letting themselves into your house when you're not there?

a4tdi130 Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Exactly, like I say - alarm your house whenever you're out during the day, and also at night when you sleep. If the house came with an alarm, make sure you've altered the code. You might even want to invest in perhaps a cheap CCTV setup - something as simple as leaving your PC on with a webcam pointing at the front door.

geo_nr1 Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Is there any chance that the "drawings" are just damaged plasterboard from when it was built and if it's damp, mildue is constantly growing back, or could a pipe be leaking behind the wall and keeping it damp? This gives a blue colour? The door flying open is usually a result of air pressure in a room and usually the result of a window open in a room in the house. As others have said, everything can be explained, is there any chance that either of you are very stressed out? This could cause you to have mental blanks and forget things you have done? I remember I lost my passport once and was positive that my parents had it in their safe, turns out I had taken it because I needed it to lift cash and left it in my jacket pocket....but genuinely couldn't remember. As you could probably tell...I am a bit of a sceptic when it comes to the paranormal,although I have heard storied that makes my hair stand on end!

beez Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Ghosts are awesome as long as they're not killing you (like on every single ghost-based horror movie ever). They've got a wicked sense of humour when it comes to being invisible. Just have a giggle about it and stick an extra tin of beer out next time you're on your own.

saab Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 I live in a new house as well and the contractor still has a set of keys which eventually when the numerous niggly problems finally get sorted he will give back - I may then change the locks. I'm always very careful to leave important documents out of sight when I know Billy Bodgit and his cronies are coming round to effect another crappy solution. Working in the construction industry I'm only too aware that some of the people employed on sites might not be 100% trustworthy. A set of documents including birth certificates and the like can be quite valuable to some people. As a naturally suspicious person, my first thought would be that someone has stolen your documents. Without seeing them its hard to say but the marks on the wall could be caused by a construction defect such as poor plastering. Better to rule out the obvious first before you get too worried about supernatural activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] No not stressed out, both of us are exactly the opposite to be honest. Both me and the wife have lived in places that have had some level of "presence". With that erm in mind, the missus in adamant that she can feel something around her, when she is in the kitchen, bathroom, any of the en-suites, sat in the office or sat on the sofa. She feels very uncomfortable. This weather has helped so that we can get outdoors and sit in the garden. Nobody that we know has got a spare key. They did at one stage but we demanded it back. And this was a direct result of having thins gone missing. Admittedly, the disappearance of things calmed down, apart from trying to explain how my phone charger ended up in my car. The marks on the walls are definately grazes/markings/scratchings, not with pen or pencil, but they look very eerie and almost deliberate to look at. If I put on my sensible unfreaked out brandy head, then I can only put it down to contractors that have been in, but one of us is here when they are here, so I think we would have noticed. Some good advice has come since originally posting this though and I think both of us need to be aware that there are logical explanations for everything. One thing I have never got an explanation for though is once sitting watching TV with my grandmother and she had a cut crystal fruit bowl on her coffee table. We were watching an old Hammer Horror film one night when suddenly this fruit bowl decides to obliterate without any warning. And I have never ever been able to figure out how the hell it happened. Beez....I aint going to leave any beer out for some groovy ghoulie with a sense of humour, I think if they had a REAL sense of humour they would sit down on the sofa, bring their own beer and OWN UP there and then. At least I could laugh it off!! Besides, if there is a ghoulie about the place, it knows where the beer is!! Geo....like yaself, I have heard some really wierd and far out things from some very genuine ppl. One I heard when I was a kid left me scared sh1tless for years. We used to live on the welsh coast when I was a kid, and a family there a few doors down eventually just MOVED out of the blue. They had been seeing "apparitions" of soldiers wounded and appearing as if they were crying for help. It appears that the street we lived in was developed on an old anti aircraft battery that was bombed quite heavily when Barry docks was dealing with munitions. It freaked me out until I eventually moved out myself! Well am going to watch a double bill tonight of Polterghesit and The Exorcist, just to laff this off!!

UBM Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 MOSE - Even though you made the person hand the key back - people still have copies cut. Perhaps it may be sinsible to change the locks? It is perfectly feasible someone is trying to deliberately pee you off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSE Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 UBM.....its very highly likely someone is playing funny buggas with us, and we talked about this last night after it has been brough up several times here. So.....quick remedy is an immediate lock change. Only ppl who have had a spare key are contractors, and yes it is highly likely that someone may have copied the key. I trust that isnt the case cos I dont deal with things like that very well. Will see how things go with a new lock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a4tdi130 Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 If you don't have an alarm already, get one - probably cheaper than a new lock too and something you should have anyway. If you do have an alarm, SET IT! If somebody was coming in to my house, I would rather know about it and do something about it, rather than wondering if they were or not and then prevent something that might not be happening. An alarm and cheap cctv would definitely be my option before changing the locks... catch them in the act and then ask for all your stuff back, and then blackmail them for cash otherwise report them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSE Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 I've got the alarm set up for everytime we go out and have also got a USB extension for the WebCam, so am hoping I do see someone coming through the front door other than some sppoky looking thing grinning at me with the Dr. Evil laugh!
