Please share your genuine ghost stories with us Page 5

I have plenty of stories that I've been told over the years. The only kind of ghostly thing I've experienced myself was when I went to the U.S back in 2007.

We visited this mansion which was haunted by a lady called Mrs. Winchester. The night before we went to visit, the crew from Most Haunted were doing a show from there. Anyway, when we were on the tour of the house the tour guide showed us into Mrs. Winchester's sitting room. I was standing near her fire place, at the back of the rest of the group. As the tour guide was giving the information to us, I felt a push in the back, enough of a push for me to check behind me to see if someone was there. Nobody was behind me but I definitely felt a push.

That's my only first hand experience with Ghosts.

Do you think that the fact that Most Haunted were there, and it was I assume quite a creepy place, made you pre-disposed to want something to happen? And therefore more likely to attribute things to ghosts? For example, if you'd felt that same "push" in HMV might you not just have dismissed it as something none supernatural?

I was playing football with half a dozen teenage mates when the ball went into a small copse. I went in to retrieve the ball and just as I bent down to pick it up, a rampant dark horse with wild eyes, flared nostrils and thundering hooves bore down upon me from absolutely nowhere. I fled the copse terrified much to the amusement of my mates.
Access to the copse was across open countryside and we would not have missed a horse entering or leaving the area. We spread out around the copse and entered with the intention of "rescuing" the frightened animal but there was nothing in the copse and no trace of hoofprints where I saw it.
I know what I saw and can still visualize and hear it today.

This incident occured close to Norwich, which I believe is near Norfolk. :D

I think you're right. You never can tell. That's what I'm always saying about the Most Haunted shows is that they want something to happen to them so much that they have the ability to imagine something i.e. a push or a noise.

However, I felt a definite push in the back. It's impossible to actually know what it was, but it was spooky. I was with my parents, my sister and her boyfriend and they all wanted something to happen to them to prove that the place was haunted. I wasn't fussed about anything happening to me, so I felt it strange that something happened to me and not them.

No not in Suffolk. The farmhouse was, and still is, situated on the border of Norfolk and Suffolk. Near a small village called Ditchingham.

Ditchingham. That's Norfolk. Very important for me to have clarity on the issue.

On a ghostly related note, I was on holiday in France near Mayenne last year. Me and the missus were watching TV when the sound of someone whistling suddenly started. It wasn't coming from the TV and it wasn't coming from near Norfolk either. Very strange.

Yep, Ditchingham is Norfolk, but close to there is a small town called Bungay which is Suffolk. The farmhouse is right on the border.
