If it had happened more than once, I think we may have seen it differently.

The Randis some in and say "imagined" and the auto-believers say it is a sign or it was a ghost.<br /><br />How can we, in a spirit of scientific enquiry, rule out what this was about? Sure if might not have been a "ghost" but to say there is no force or entity we can't determine at this time goes against the evidence which does stand up.<br /><br />And your feeling not to go back is quite rational in a metaphysical sense - possibly tapping into some survival instinct of old.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-23495409687182505382012-08-11T18:31:18.131+01:002012-08-11T18:31:18.131+01:00Sam - it could have been clicking timbers, but it ...Sam - it could have been clicking timbers, but it didn't sound like it to four people and only happened once. Even so, it's a possibility.<br /><br />Roger - an old house with a chimney can have a mix of evocative odours. Very powerful memory triggers. <br /><br />I've never tried the upturned glass game, but I know people often find it quite scary.A K Haarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897490979828603179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-48404299186952882872012-08-11T15:35:12.861+01:002012-08-11T15:35:12.861+01:00Had an odd experience way back, went into a room ...Had an odd experience way back, went into a room at home and smelt a strong smell of pipe tobacco - just like my father used to smoke. Old house with a chimney - but very odd.<br /><br />Another thing is the all put fingers on upturned glass/table/ring of letters/is there anybody there? business.

I suggested clicking timbers as they expanded/contracted, or some machinery, or workmen. But he was adamant that had I been there, I would have known that these explanations did not fit.<br /><br />There are often reports of unexplained footsteps, apparently. All very odd.Sam Vegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05978971199859845931noreply@blogger.com
