My friend is convinced her new house is haunted. I went around to help her decorate and make her feel better. But I don’t think I helped.

She said moving in was fine but her dog hates the place, and since she’s started decorating things have been going on.

We were scraping paper off a wall, and we heard the snacks I’d left in the kitchen fall on the floor. Before I could say anything the radio we had on for background noise crackled off station and you could hear a little girl laugh, then it went back to the radio. We dropped our things and decided to go to a cafe for dinner.

I feel sorry for her. Her husband works nights in Plymouth so she’s home alone a lot.

I hope she doesn’t ask me for a sleep over. 🫤

Sounds like the house really is haunted. Do you believe it's haunted? Have you experienced ghosts before? 👻

@SouthernGuy1987 This is Cornwall. Our entire culture is based on pirates, smugglers, witches, stone circles and ghosts.

@Morvoren So you've dealt with the strange and paranormal your whole life. What's the strangest thing you've ever seen or dealt with there?

@SouthernGuy1987 Everyone around here has a story. When me and my brother were very young we used to share a little bed in a back room at my grand parents for stay overs. An old man with glasses used to wake us up in the night, he’d just sit there beside our bed smoking cigarettes.

We’d tell our parents in the morning and they use to get irritated with us and hush us up.

When we were adults we found out he used to own the house in the 1930s. He moved to Southampton and was killed in the blitz.
