Graveyard Cottage


It's that time of year again when I am house sitting at Graveyard Cottage. I hate this one and have told them that I wont be able to do it again due to G's health, am cutting back.

The dog, a wee black schnauzer, is lovely and really no bother at all.
The house is bloody haunted though, am sure of it and Velvet the garden has the biggest slugs I have ever seen and loads of them.
Last night just before I was about to head upstairs to bed, there were footsteps up there so I delayed going up. Once up there and snug in bed, I heard doors closing downstairs. Honestly the place creeps me out.

Its a pretty little cottage in the sunlight.

It also doesnt help that I watch things like Ghost Hunters and Most Haunted I guess

Re: Graveyard Cottage


I can't really poo-poo these night-time noises because you know what you heard. I am very glad you won't be going there again.

BUT you've got a lovely little Schnauzer for company and if he's feeling chilled and relaxed then there is NO REASON why you shouldn't too. Animals pick up on things I am absolutely sure so if he's not distressed then there's nothing to worry about.

Re: Graveyard Cottage


I think your imagination is working overtime there Elaine.

I am sure even if the resident dog was used to Ghosts Rayne would, why not leave the radio or TV on while you sleep.

Shelley I wonder if it was Jerry...lovely thought. It brought to mind an incident I had a few years ago found the thread this is it? http://www.catsey.com/showthread.php...ight=ghost+cat

What do you think.
