There has been 3 or 4 different sittings over the years. A group called Swadlincote Paranormal did some tests and found the presence of some friendly activity including a young girl that follows the cleaner on the top floor and a man that appears sometimes. The group told us some info on the history of the house including a man that hung himself there. The man attached himself to a friend a few months ago and then again a week ago he scared off the plumber by appearing at his house but only the plumbers son and wife could see him. Since this has happened we would like to find someone else that could answer some question for example who the ghosts are.

We visited this holiday cottage back when I was a child and it's still being run as a holiday cottage I believe. As soon as we approached the cottage it certainly felt a million miles from anywhere, perched down a small single track overgrown lane, just a few minutes walk from the beach. The cottage used to be a fisherman's cottage I believe and the inside didn't look like it had been updated since! It was quite run down, with dirty pots and pans, just a simple two up, two down place with a small step ladder leading to the upstairs bedrooms.
Making the most of the place we decided to stay and everything seemed fine as far as us children seemed concerned. It wasn't until my parents went to bed that events started to take a turn for the strange. My parents awoke in the early hours to the sound of hobnail boots coming up the stairs. Frightened as to what was going on and thinking perhaps us children were up to something my father went out to see who or what was going on. He found my sister and I fast asleep in the other bedroom and absolutely no one else in the cottage.
We decided to leave a few days earlier than expected as the place I think was really getting to my parents. I was eventually told of this story weeks after our stay and to this day we still don't know what happened back at that cottage. Had the old fisherman come back to see who was in his cottage?

Some friends and I rented a large house down this road back in 1998. It's an old building, probably dating back to Victorian times and sits over 4 stories if you include the cellar. The four of us were living here and even though the place was run down, loose electric wires just to start, the place had an eerie feel anyway. None of us wanted to stay there alone.
Things would always go missing but not normal things as if just lost, my friend would be drying her hair and put down her towel and hairdryer just for a few minutes only to see it gone when she went to use it again. It was later found in a completely different room, the kitchen and no one had been anywhere near here.
The front door would often be found open and it was a huge heavy door. I even got my Dad to put bolts on the door in case someone had a key we didn't know about and was playing silly buggers but even after bolting it shut each night it would be found open the next morning.
The scariest experience was from my friend though who slept in one of the attic rooms. One night we had all stayed in her room as it was the only finished room in the house as we did it up. She told me the next day that she had woken up in the early hours to hear children running up the stairs, laughing and joking but the sound disappeared as it reached the closed bedroom door. Petrified she didn't sleep a wink that night but we didn't hear a thing.
