Lincolnshire Bound

I emailed it to you a couple of days ago. I used the envelope link to the left of the globe in your profile.

That's no good, we're all waiting to read it! (nice pictures as usual).

Ok, to put you all in the picture and to appease your curiosity this is what happened.  :o

Firstly you have to remember all the other stuff which had happened since we had arrived which had us on edge a bit...but the final straw came on the last evening that we were prepared to stay.
The haunted house issue was a nightmare. People mock me over it but its true, very true indeed. It came to a head on our last night there when something/somebody actually got hold of my legs and dragged me down to the bottom of the bed. My wife was in bed with me and she was laying at the side of me so it wasn't her and she wouldn't physically be capable of dragging me even if she wanted to. I can remember my legs being held as clear as day as I was dragged down to the bottom of the bed. That was the icing on the cake and we both mutually decided that enough was enough and later that morning we left. You usually get a visitors book in these holiday homes where people can write comments good or bad about their stay. I never read them, I just cant be bothered. But on the morning that we left I read peoples comments and there was a small percentage who had actually written in the book saying that they had experienced some strange & unexplained incidents during their stay at the house.

Interestingly I wrote a letter to the holiday company more for a joke than anything else explaining that we had cut our holiday short due to the house being haunted. The holiday company forwarded the letter to the owners of the property and low and behold a few weeks later we got a letter and cheque back from the owners. The owners who live literally a hundred yards or so away from this house confessed that they had read the visitors book in the past and seen various comments about spooky goings on but that they had never personally experienced anything at this house. Interestingly though they did believe that their own house was haunted and therefore had no reason to dis-believe what we had described and as a gesture of goodwill gave us some cash back for our holiday being spoiled. Cant say fairer than that can you? I would honestly never stay there again though even it was free.

There's a lot of history in that area of Lincolnshire, battles being fought etc. The other property we stayed at though, the red bricked building which is owned again by the same family and on the other side of the owners house was sound, we never experienced anything there and there were six of us staying there and three dogs. 

One of life's little mysteries I guess.

Are you sure you hadn't been watching Paranormal Activity the night before? Did the dogs not bark? I used to be into this paranormal stuff when I was younger but now as a scientist I question everything for a rational explanation (except for why people buy BMW cars - there is no rational explanation for that  ;D)

I'll be interested in reading the reviews of that hotel. Anyone for the 2012 meetup to be held there?

I wouldn't mind staying there, I am a believer in things paranormal, though I have never had any experiences I do believe that such things can and do happen.

All of the above is fact and no spicing up, bloody scary place :o

I would never stay there again.
