Well, funny you should say that, we definitely have a poltergeist of some sort here! Been here about 25 years now and it certainly isn't as active as it was but nevertheless it still likes a laugh. Clearly hated the changes when we first moved in though!
When first here one of my jobs was all the plumbing and heating and loads of tools went missing, some have never turned up! Most did though, one day out and about with the wife and I bought a new tool bag, when home we took it in to the house and a couple of days later I went to change the tools from the old bag into it, couldn't find it anywhere! We turned the house upside down on several occasions looking for it until eventually we gave up. Must have been about five years later when one day I walked into the dinning room and it was sitting there as bold as brass under the table. In unison we both said 'poltergeist!'
The house with its Georgian front renovation of about 1760 is much older than that and is an estate house from that period. It has been the rectory when the landed sponsored the church, an estate house, A doctors house/surgery and a few owners previously to us there was a spiritualist living here! so no surprise here really.
We have done all the work on the house ourselves, sorry, I mean I have done all the work! With often a suggestion from my son as to what he will do to it when I'm dead! Shame he can't get out of bed and start now! The only time he's available is when his car is crook and then the start time is truly flexible for him! It is a supervisory roll obviously as he doesn't actually do anything! Buta t least it hurts a little!
