Grantham Road

We lived in Humberstone for nine years.  We lived on Grantham Road the side near St Mary's Ave. All we knew about the house was we bought it from an elderly couple, the husband had died about a year before, the wife had gone in to a home.  We had a shed in the back yard which when we took it down found loads of old heel protectors that were used on mens shoes, that clicked when you walked in them.  The house had a entry to the left side.  It was here that all the things happened. Our bathroom was downstairs on the wall the of the entry. Every time I took a bath I could hear someone walk along the entry "click clacking".  No one else could hear this. We would sit watching TV and it would happen. Still no one could hear this only me. I asked the people next door if they knew anything but no one did, then I spoke to the elderly gentleman next door but one.  I was shocked to hear that the man who lived in my house would spend hours walking up and down the entry watching life go by, and he always wore heel protectors on his shoes.  After we spoke about this he stopped his walks which I was a bit sad about as I had become ok with it.  Maybe "Frank" just wanted some recognition?

Old Humberstone

In main street Humberstone, a married couple lived in a house for 56 years.  A spirit of a girl called Rebecca, 17 years of age killed herself because she got pregnant by the lord of the manor, as been seen going between bathroom and the front room and between the three houses.  The couple claim to have had ladies make-up taken but would always put back.  A hammer was taken and it would always be found on top of the wardrobe.  The brother in law was living there for a while and when he went for a bath and locked the door, ran the bath which was hot before he got in, within seconds it went ice cold the door flung open and he went running outside stark naked and never went back to the house again, true or false? Who no’s.

Rebecca is a happy spirit but doesn’t like change, the couple are fitting a new kitchen at the moment and has been seen quite alot over the past few weeks.

When my first son was born he never slept, it got worse as he was put into his own bedroom.  Having what I was told were night terrors from around 2 years old, really bad dreams where he used to run around the house screaming get them away tell him to go, I don’t like it he used to shout. Even to the point of no one being able to calm him down. As a happy little boy during the day he would never go and play in his bedroom and had to be carried to bed at night once asleep.  Well I told one of my old neighbours about this, she was a medium and I was a bit sceptical when she said she would pop round and have a look in his bedroom.

I was desperate for a good nights sleep so I agreed. As she stood in his bedroom eyes closed she started to talk to someone?!  

Well I wasn’t convinced, she told me that a man called Sydney had set himself up a chair in the corner of my son’s room because he liked children and it was quit and he could read his book without his wife nagging!! She told him it was upsetting my son and he agreed to find somewhere else. She also said there were a lot of spirit children following my son and wanting to play with him at night, hence him telling them to go away and get off his bed, she guided in a spirit nanny to supervise the children and told her to keep them calm at night. She said that would be the last of it and my son would sleep that night. Well not at all convinced I said a polite thank you as she left. Well night time came and did my son sleep? Yes for the first time in nearly 4 years he slept all night!!! Now I am a great believer...

If anyone knows who this Sydney may have been, please let me know, I will relay the information back.

Old Humberstone

From my own experience.

When I was younger, the whole family was going bed.  I had a funny feeling as going up stairs. Went in to he bedroom, locked the door, still having this feeling, I looked under the bed, looked in the wardrobe, even looked in a walk in cupboard, nothing there.   Got in to bed, pulled the quilt over then turned the light off.  Then all at a sudden something sat on the bed, as I was younger back then I didn’t look.  I remember from when I was at school, a former family who lived there, a family member saw something as the bottom of their bed, this was the same room I had!!!

Another time, several years later, I was looking after the house with my fiancé while folks where away, we was watching the TV, it was one of those celebrity haunted shows, where they were performing a live séance on TV, all at a sudden, the dog woke up, started to back non stop at the mirror on the wall.

I got a EMF meter out to check the area that he was barking at, had a high meter reading, once the séance on the TV had finished the meter reading had gone. 

There wasn’t any power cable behind the mirror, only time I’ve seen that high is if had the meter near a microwave oven.

Still never found out what it was, well not yet.
