In between this time 2 old spinsters owned the place and died within 2days of each other !! The details of their deaths were never really told.

My grandparents had an open coal fire they used to put out WITHOUT fail every night after the chimney caught fire many years ago and set the hay store on fire as well. My Grandma came down one night and walked into the lounge of the farm to see not only an open fire fully ablaze as if somebody had put fresh logs on about 10mins before (she had gone to bed about 5 hrs before) but also saw a brief glance of what looked like two elderly ladies sat either side of the fire.

I grew up until I was 4 at this house and used to have a recuring nightmare (as most kids do) that a monster that looked just like my grandad except that his head looked liked it had been pulled off from above. Didnt think of it again until I was 15 and returned to the house for the first time in 4-5years (following a big family argument) Sat down having a family meal and there was a photo of my family and my Grandad stood next to his tractor with his head blurred JUST like i used to see in my dreams! Would of put it down to seeing the pic as a kid but the photo was taken just 2 years before. Scared the living fuck out of me!
