When I was about 4 or 5 years old I used to live in a very big, very old mansion which was situated on the shore of the River Humber in England. Myself and my family used to see, quite often, the ghost of an woman who, at the time and I suppose because of my age and not understanding these things, I thought was a relative of mine. It was only when I had the following experience explained to me that I realised what it was.
Me and my elder brother was playing in the grounds of our home when I looked up and saw this womanly figure standing just inside of the garden gate and after I told my brother she was there we approached her ( remember, we still dont know its a ghost ). We was standing in front of her and we asked what she was doing. She looked from my brother to me and said "I'm sorry boys, I was just looking as I used to live here a very long time ago". So we invited her to come up to the house and have a look inside, she started to follow us and when we got to the front door we opened it, turned to invite her in and she had vanished. We thought nothing of this really except she mst have changed her mind. The next time I saw her I was alone in my bedroom which was situated on the third floor of the house when I looked up and she was outside the window, so, (with wet underpants) I ran and got my Dad and he went out and said that there was no one there. By now I started to get a little scared as I had recognised her as the same woman me and my brother had seen in the garden so I told my brother and we decided to talk with our parents about it. While we was telling them about it we saw her again at the window of the living room so my Dad went out to confront her and ask why she kept coming to the house but, suprise - suprise she was not there. We all saw her frequently but never managed to catch her but by now we had an idea of what was happening. We decided to research the house. This decision was made because this time she talked to me again (which was the last time she did actually talk to any of us) and she said "Have you seen my daughter?". I got really scared, screamed "NO!" to her and ran away. The researched showed the following: - The woman turned out to be an ex - owner of the house who had lived there with her husband who was killed in WW1. He died whilst she was pregnant with thier only child. When the child was born some months later she was still greif stricken and she killed the baby and buried the body in the grounds which was discoverd very soon after. She apparently went mad and never knew she had killed the child but shortly afterwards killed herself which is why we now believe she walks around the house we lived in. The only thing I dont understand is why we never saw her INSIDE the house only ever outside, also, we never heared/saw the ghost of the baby. Well, that is my story, I hope you enjoy reading it. |
