Although I havent seen a ghost as such, I can recall a particularly unusual event a few years back. Are we sitting comfortably, then I shall begin;
My mum has insisted our family home in Huyton is haunted. She, and at least two other people have claimed to have seen the ghost of a little girl over a period of say 20 years. Needless to say I didnt take much notice whatsover, but short of laughing out loud I just nodded and went, "oh right" everytime the subject is brought up.
A few years ago my cousin owned a dog - a beautiful white English Bull Terrier called Ellie. My Cousin treated this dog like a child, it dined on better food than me, was overweight, bone-idle, it had a liking for biscuits and most of all, it hardly ever, ever barked. It would often just lie on the floor farting or sleeping.
Now my cousin and the dog were frequent visitors to our house and previously the dog had shown no unusual actions or anything ontoward.
One particular evening a few years ago I had come home from work to find my cousin and the dog in attendance, after an hour or so my cousin and my mum both disappear out for an hour, and ask me to keep an eye on the dog. Not a problem and soon enough I was lying back on the couch watching the box with the mutt lying on the floor beside me.
Then for no good reason the dog jumps up and turns its head towards a corner of the living room and stares. Its heckles go up and it begins growling, all the time staring intently into the corner of our living room. There was no window in the corner, no door, nothing whatsover.
The dog begins barking and growling, looking into the same corner, the hairs on its back on end. I'll be honest, I was starting to shit myself a bit and was shouting at the dog, "sit down, get over here, SIT!" the bloody thing ignores me and will not stop staring into the corner.
At this point its 8pm on a weeknight, its dark outside and there is nobody else in the house, but for some reason I was geniunely scared/apprehensive. So much so I put its dog lead on and thought it a good a time as any to walk down the chippy and get my supper!
The dog had never acted like that before or since, it has now sadly died, but they do say that dogs, cats and children are more prone to seeing things like that than adults.
Some people I told laughed in my face, others were intrigued. I am not saying I experienced a ghostly encounter, but whatever wasnt good for me old ticker!
