About 7 years ago a mate of mine lived in a maisonette with his wife and two young sons.This was over a shop next to a pub in Worthing called The Thomas A Becket.
They decided to decorate the bathroom,whilst ripping the wallpaper off the walls they decovered a reddy colour stain.My mate decided that it was probably a rust stain because it was on the wall right behind the toilet(it used to have a pull chain,and it was that he thought was where the rust would have come from)
Two weeks later strange things started to happen,the bathroom door would open by itself even when it was closed properly.Their youngest(who was a baby)would suddenly hold his arms out as if someone was right in front of him even though noone was close.
The eldest boy was about 2 years old at the time started having someone that he used to have a conversation with.
I went round to see my mates wife one afternoon(knowing nothing about what was going on)She had to pop over the road to get a pint of milk and asked if I would watch the baby as he was sleeping.I agreed and off she went.
I walked into the kitchen to get a drink of water when I sensed someone standing at the door behind me,I turned round thinking she had forgotten her money only to see a tall shadow dash in the direction of the bathroom.I ran that way to find noone was there.
I checked the whole place,I even checked under the beds,found nothing.
When my mates wife got back I spoke to her about it.She looked shocked and explained what had been going on,also saying that I was the only other person to see the shadow(her being the other one)
My ex and myself were invited round for a meal about a month later,when we got there we were dragged into the living room where we had to sit and watch our mate do his experiment.
He had a set of keys on a table in the middle of the room and candles lit.We sat there for 5 minutes when the keys started moving on there own.
Me being me thought that it was a set up and asked for proof.As I said this,every candle in the room blew out at the same time.
There was no drafts in the room and the keys were not tied to cotton and no magnets were used either.
They had their youngest sons christening coming up and the vicar was due round the next evening.
I got a phone call from them after their meeting and was told the vicar had sensed something,so had said a prayer with the family.
After this evening they had no more strange happenings again and the place seemed totally different.They put it down to removing the wallpaper from the bathroom.
