I?m bringing this over from the thread about flats in the general section so as not to get it lounged. I mentioned in that thread that a consideration for me when finding a new home is whether there are ghosts in the place. I was asked to elaborate on this so here you go: I?m no new-ager, spiritualist or anything like that. In fact I?m not a very spiritual person at all. I am just one of those people in this world who is slightly more sensitive to these things. I seem to regularly see ghosts and have many a time had them verified by other, trustworthy people who have seen the same things. I also know that this is not at all uncommon and I wish that I wasn?t inflicted with it. Normally it isn?t such a problem. There may be a part of a house that feels a little strange and this may be accompanied by seeing someone standing there once or twice over a period of years but nothing that would make you want to move. Then I rented one of the many 2 bedroom Victorian split-level flats that make up most of ED and almost every night I would see something. There was a man who stood in the corner of the front-room and just watched you, there was a little girl in the bathroom and a lady in the hallway at the bottom of the stairs. All in all very disconcerting. Thing is I actually felt slightly cheated by the estate agent. I felt the rent should have been cheaper or something. Or at least the advert should have read: ?2 Bedroom Victorian garden flat complete with all mod cons and significant paranormal activity to keep you entertained on those quiet nights in? Anyway the experience has made me think twice about older properties. I wonder how an estate agent would react if I asked if I could just be left alone in a place for a few hours before I decided to buy it. Oh and before you ask. Yes I did take lots of drugs as a student but I have been seeing things since way before then when my brain was still clean and innocent.
