I am not sure if I believe in paranormal activities but I have experienced a few things over the years that I have not been able to explain.
The first of my experiences is not a direct memory as I was only a small child (around 3 or 4) but something my mum has shared with me in recent years. As a child I spent a lot of time around my grandmother's house and during these visits my mum has said that I spent a lot of time in my grandmother's bedroom talking to a little girl who I claimed to see. Thinking that I was either talking to myself or an imaginary friend my mum did not think much of it until she questioned me. I informed her of the clothes the little girl was wearing as being of a Victorian style (lace up boots, apron) and that she wanted to go to school but couldn't because she was blind. My mother, and particularly my grandmother, were freaked out by this as such a small child would have no knowledge of Victorian dress. My mum's account of these experiences have struck a chord with me as though on some level I knew what she was referring to.
Another experience I have had occurred many years later when my family moved house when I was around 14. My parents had bought the house after the previous owner, Elizabeth Hart, had died. I don't know a lot about her but I found out that she had shared the house with her sister who she did not get along with. A lot of these memories are hazy now but I do remember feeling utterly terrified at the time.
I believe I occupied the room which had belonged to Elizabeth's sister and after clearing various items out of the house I came across a silver music box in my parents room, which had been Elizabeth's. I took the box into my room and forgot about it.
Over the following weeks I experienced some nightly goings on that scared the life out of me. While asleep one night, I was awoken by the sound of music from the music box and a lamp falling off my desk and hitting the floor. Thinking nothing of it, I went back to sleep.
The same thing happened a few more times on subsequent nights until I sought advice from my grandmother. Although she's not particularly spiritual she is very religious and regularly goes to see mediums. She advised me to put rosary beads around the lamp, which I did. The lamp did not fall off my bedside table that night, but the rosary beads had been snapped. After this I removed the music box from my room and never heard anything again.
