I live on the second floor of a five story block, the building has cameras all over the place, in fact there is one pointing straight at my front door. It might bother some people but as I know I'm not doing anything I shouldn't I find it quite reassuring. If my suspicions became more pressing I would contact the management company to see if they could check.

I have a spare mobile and a 64gb memory card, I might leave that tucked into a jacket pocket recording. I should be able to capture most of the day if I get the right app.

What's happened is that someone has broken in, stolen all your stuff and replaced it with exact replicas.

That's either someone very cunning, or someone that hasn't quite grasped the concept of what a burglary is.

Several of them, behind the "little door" and dragged out occasionally for his own amusement... :eyebrows:

Maybe it's a poltergeist, we had one in an old house... I think ;)

That's exactly the sort of thought that'll give me nightmares. I already think I've been overdoing it on the horror films recently :)

We had some very strange things going on and one of the things 'it' did was apparently just what they get up to.. I won't tell you what that is just in case you have the same thing as I don't want you to have nightmares... ;)

I'm very intrigued, do tell :)

Are you sure you want to know Rich?

Yep.I love a good ghost story.

Ok... you asked.... :)

They take items of same or similar size and line them up with near perfect spacing in between them in a dead straight line....normally on the floor but can be anywhere...

We had a cat at the time and she had loads of play things, same size 'ish.... my father used to be first up in the morning and one morning he discovered seven of her play things perfectly lined up about 6-7 inches apart in a perfect straight line on the lounge carpet.... some months later I had the same experience, I was about 12 or 13 at the time, I was playing with the puss in the lounge and momentarily went into the kitchen where mum was and when I returned again 6 or 7 of her toys were perfectly lined up.. spooky a ?

Now it might be that we just had a very intelligent puss but I somehow doubt it...

We had loads of other going's on in the house, doors opening by themselves, feeling like someone was sitting on the end of the bed while you were trying to sleep and also our dog constantly barking up the stairs when nothing was there...

I'm not even sure I believe in ghosts etc but if you asked me to step back in that house I wouldn't... it always had a very strange feeling about it.... a young girl who lived in the house before us was killed in a car accident.. so who knows...:(

Please don't have nightmares....;)

Ooh that is spooky, just enough to scare you but not quite enough to get you running out of the house never to go back. I lived in London for a bit in the early 90s and we had a few very unexplainable incidents, some of which were quite frightening.

Yes it certainly was spooky... just thinking about that house has a nasty feeling for me... :(

Did your experiences stop after you moved from the house?

Yes we moved into a brand new house and all was fine... ;)

When I was a kid, my Mum and Dad ran a restaurant in Norwich in an old medieval crypt. There were all sorts of strange goings on - the hoover would start with no one being near it. The "dumb waiter" would go up or down and no one was touching it. Plates smashed with no explanation. One evening all the candles blew out - not all at the same time, one by one.

Years later my Dad was researching our family tree. We had moved to Norwich from Northampton - Dad's family had been in the shoe trade, and it appears originally they were from Norwich. Further research revealed that the family owned a tannery in Norwich. One of our ancestors died a horrible death after being murdered and dumped in one of the tanning vats. And where was this tannery? Yes, you guessed it - it turned out it was in the crypt, where centuries later, they opened the restaurant...

That's a corker, great story. It sounds suitably creepy and scary.

Glad to hear it :)

As a complete aside... I've given myself a nasty burn... you gotta be so careful with hot wax it seems.... :doh:

However it definitely works if you get the temp correct... luckily I've got a high pain barrier....:lol:

Lord - we're not back to your 'bikini line' again are we?

Not quite Barry.... :lol:

Just thought I'd 'put it out there'....

I think we are Barry - not an aside, more "short back and sides" - unless Bev is going for some other form of pubic topiary? :lol:

Hmm, decisions, decisions...

Haunted house or bikini line - I know where I'd rather be :eyebrows:

Scared shitless - let's do both!

It doesn't have to be a binary choice.

Title does suggest anything goes.... I could go into 'other' stuff if you'd wish though... tell me what and I'm sure I can 'go there' :eyebrows:

A haunted house tale I heard on the radio a few years ago, and I may be misremembering some details...

A woman had for much of her life a recurring dream that she visited this big house in the country, and never left. A few years later when on a driving holiday with her husband in Ireland, she saw a house that was exactly like the house in her dreams, and just had to call there.

When the old lady living there came to the door she had the fright of her life. Turns out this caller was the spitting image as this apparition that walked round her house at night.

In the interests of balance I will say that this old woman waxed her private parts regularly, so didn't startle easily.

:lol: Guessing this wasn't a Radio 4 show, then?

Ok then, for 'balance', I always write with a fountain pen and not a biro.... does that help?... I write italic which I learned at primary...

If you wanted to make another word out of "bikini" and "hairy", one choice could be "binary".

How true, non-binary is very "in" at the moment.

I knew you were secretly a posh bird :)

I don't think I'm 'posh' it's just how I was taught early on which has stayed with me I guess... ;)

Actually none of those Alex... I'm currently using a really cheap Lamy but it's very good indeed...

That's a nice thing to do, I don't use a fountain pen but I do like to use a nice weighty pen, nothing stupidly expensive just something nicer than a biro. My handwriting is awful though unfortunately.

My handwriting is awful if I use a biro for some reason but using the Lamy it's pretty good I think...

Slightly off topic, so I apologise for that, and I may have said this before, so again sorry. In the early(ish) days of printing (before 1980) making a change to copy involved me taking revised artwork to the local Newspaper printers to have a new zinco letterpress plate made. A lot lengthier than how it's done these days.

While proof reading a 'What's on in Blackpool" newsletter, I noticed that a full page ad for Blackpool Pleasure Beach included amongst its attractions a "Pubic Skating Rink". When I pointed it out to my boss he just said "Well it's too late to change it now", so it went out like that. I should have kept a copy. But knowing Blackpool this facility probably exists these days :)

So how about nudist beaches? I've been on a few and the best one was in north Norfolk, Holkham

A couple of miles from my brother's apartment on South of France there is a "Plage Naturiste" or something spelled similarly. It's some kind of resort with hotels, bars, etc. You could just think that they just want to "get back to nature".

But if you go down there in the evening there's all manner of bondage stuff going on. One bloke was being dragged round the bars by his woman pulling on a chain attached to his knob. Can't say it looked much fun, but he seemed happy with it :)

We have an unofficial nudist beach here in Southsea but it's full of old guys so not been stripping off there

I'm not really a pure naturist but do like to get 'natural' whenever I can I guess....
