29th July 2003
N G came to house at Ince, nearly shit himself - spirit S showed up again, having lunch in kitchen and the extension lead moved on it's own, N on the edge of his seat! Then he watched as the bucket handle lifted itself and dropped again, really freaked him out. "What's that?" he said " Not what, who" I said - "It's S" and as I said that a bread bag moved on the work top - N was ready to run but I thought it was funny!!! S then said he prove he was there by turning things on and off [S was friends with N} When we went back to work after lunch N turned his radio on and it went off again! I started to use the sander and it went off, "OK, thanks, but can I have that back on please" the sander came right back on. N G was totally amazed - I hope this doesn't put frighten him into not coming to finish the joinery.
1st August 2003
Found R in the kitchen at 4am every light in the house on - Petrified - lots of disturbances in his room and he said that when he came downstairs they followed him. Slept in H's room on the floor.
5th August 2003
R frightened - too much happening in his room. Came to sleep on our floor at 2.30am. Reports sighs, floor thumps, headphones cord pulled, banging on top of headphones and poked in the back.
6th August 2003
Got mad and went into R's room and told them to cool it or clear out, I won't tolerate my children being forced out of their own beds.
7th August 2003
Wrote to invite Team. Things happening every day now. Had a lot of trouble trying to do letter, lots of interference with PC and printer - asked them not to - no cooperation, gave up and went to finish it by hand - crossing the landing and 5p hit my feet. Went into the kitchen and voice came from behind the dog and said "hello" sounded like the dog talking, made me jump, the poor dog looked more startled that I was! Left the 5p on the landing floor told no-one to touch it.
Hope Team come I'm gonna get the video camera off H and P see if we get anything on tape.
8th August 2003
5p disappeared! [overnight]
Picked up video camera - my room tonight.
9th August 2003
N G came back to hang front and back doors. Said he was in bed the other night and someone woke him up by banging about in the bathroom. Thought it was S because he thought he had seen him walk past the window earlier the same day, but he was too nervous to look.
11th August 2003
R came downstairs said someone was following him from his room, he asked them to prove they were there by touching his foot - both of his ankles went ice cold. They seem to like him. He says the little girl is in his room she is the one who likes to poke him and pull his T-shirt.
Video on landing tonight.
12th August 2003
We noticed that [or I noticed] that the more we talk about it, the more things happen around here. We're starting to think how funny it would be if someone not used this place came and got really spooked - must say I think it would be really funny. I could just imagine it [ha ha ha]
13th August 2003
Got brilliant results with the video camera - so ordered one with night vision on it so we can see and not just hear. P is not really impressed!
14th August 2003
Returned camera
15th August 2003
Going away today back Sunday pm
A and A is house sitting hope it's quiet - if you know what I mean.
17th August 2003
No occurrences whilst A and A here but she said the twins didn't sleep well last night.
21st August 2003
R threw screwed up paper into his rubbish bin - [early afternoon] heard noise behind him, the paper had risen from the bottom of the bin and was coming out of the top - R said "Oi - What goes in the bin stays in the bin" - and the paper dropped back to the bottom of the bin.
27th August 2003
Late pm. R reports more cold spots in his room. Tapping on the headphones and T-shirt pulled.
28th August 2003
Lunch time - H said there was a knock at the front door - preceded by the letterbox flap being rattled as if the postman was trying to get something through but no one was there.
30th August 2003
H put a block of cheese down on the worktop whilst making sandwiches to take to work for lunch - as soon as she put it down the block flipped over and unwrapped itself! Is this the one that likes to take food off the cooker???
31st August 2003
R came back from A's and said the spirits from his room were at A's house with him - and were sitting with him in the back of the car on his way back home with A's Mum and A and A.
1st September 2003
7pm R and N in kitchen and a man said "Hello". R heard it N didn't - I wish he would.
2nd September 2003
Whilst cleaning the living room windows a man opened the door and sat on the small sofa. I called N to the window to see but he said no one was there. Still there after about 15 mins so I asked him who he was "Uncle Harry" he said. I thought I should tell B but didn't know why then two of them were there "Tell him I've got his cousin" said Harry - OK I said - B said he had no Uncle Harry and didn't know of one - but Harry hung around for about 2 hours, I started to get a bit spooked but braved it out and did the cleaning no one here could claim Uncle Harry - C next door thought he might know him but I was sure it was for B. The milking parlour went wrong - standing joke - it's Uncle Harry! H sat on sofa and whilst leaning on it a bottle of spray stood itself upright - freaked H out.
3rd September 2003
Al came today - used to work here and live in our house - said they had no disturbances. The men told him about Uncle Harry and me cleaning windows and that Harry claimed to have his cousin. Al shut them all up - said he had an Uncle Harry that died about 5 years ago and he used to stand and look out of the living room window and watch what was happening outside - he also had a cousin that passed about 15-20 years earlier. Al is friends with B and goes to see him regularly - that stops the men taking the mickey out of me then.
4th September 2003
More interference with computer, I get it on and after a few minutes I can no longer get it to cooperate but it's always OK with R. Sometimes won't work for H either.
5th September 2003
R says two of them in his room tonight cold one side of him and then both sides, pulled his T-shirt.
Computer problems again - I was trying to type and they seem to be able to influence what I'm typing - the word 'shitty' kept appearing when I'm not consciously typing it - not funny after a while. Took Mrs D a cuppa - something knocked the cup - I thought I heard laughing, poor woman got hot tea down her leg - I think it was the little girl.
R says the pencil rubber and ruler moved on their won but Mrs D didn't notice - also said his arm went really cold.
6th September 2003
Phoned [Paranormal Investigators] said they will come - probably in a few weeks - hope they don't get too spooked but hope we manage to get something on video.

8pm H came out of her room - someone blowing in her ear. She got P to stay over. Sensed S in the living room - saw lights on curtains and tapping on side of TV, cold hand on my leg. N said he didn't notice anything - may be he's too frightened to or just won't admit it. Had more PC problems today - odd words keep appearing - takes forever to type anything. Man in bedroom when I went to bed at 10pm, didn't bother me though slept all night till 2.30am. 11.30pm A cold spot on R's side in his room, felt definitely watched and a pen hit the PC stand near floor. 2.30am Knocking on outside of bedroom window - [have to keep changing pens - they keep running out!!!]
