I thought I would submit my unexplained experience that happened to
me many years ago - just to kick things off.
When I was about 12 or 13 I lived in a 3 storey town house in Milton Keynes
with my family.
Early evening one day while sitting down to a meal of fried chicken with my
Mother, Father & Brother, we had something weird happen that we all saw.
We were all sitting at our dining table in the kitchen. Behind me was a bin, the
type that has a swinging lid to it. The table was circular and my Mother was sat
opposit me with my brother to the right and my father to my left. Everyone,
except me had a clear view of the bin.
During a lull in the conversation, I heard the noise of the bin lid swinging, so
I turned to look at it, as did the rest of my family.
We all saw the bin lid swinging violently. However as the bin lid was upside down,
something that can only be done when someone was to push the lid very hard,
it stopped for around a second.
Because of the way the bin lid had been designed, it would be impossible for it to
do this unless it was held in the upside down position.
The lid was then 'released' and it swung for a few moments until it came to
a natural stop.
My family and I all looked at each other in amazment. There was absolutly no
way that this was caused by myself or any of my family membersas it was well
beyond any of our reach, and if anyone had tried to cause this effect, we would
have all seen them.
This was not an isolated event in the family home. We once also had a picture
come off its picture hook on the wall and fall up the stairs. Again, this was another
physical impossibility. Again everyone, including my uncle who was staying with
us for the weekend, was accounted for as we were all in the living room watching
an early episode of the Simpsons, as I recall.
I know that this happend something like 16 years ago as I am close to 30 years old
now, but the basic facts of each incident are as fresh in my mind as what I had for
breakfast this morning.
I think it was these and the many other strange occurrences that happened to
myself and my family in the many homes that we lived in all those years ago that
has led me into ghost research.
Allan, please feel free to use this in Parazine if you wish.
All the best,
Neal
