On my way to my first day of primary school in 1984, my dad opened our front gate for me and my mum.
He died in 1979.

Until I was 5 I talked about "my other mummy" who had hair in a bun and lived in Blackberry Lane. In my teens, aunt found photos of her and mum's granny in Ireland. They'd never seen them before. I screamed. She was stood by a blackberry bush with hair in a bun. My other mummy.

As a child I liked playing with magnetic letters on the fridge. One day I wrote "Teg is here". No idea why.
A few years later we were looking at the deeds to the house and found it had been built on a field called Teg's Pieces.

Carrying infant son from the bathroom to his bedroom. Glanced in my bedroom as I passed and thought I saw a man sitting on my bed. Assumed eyes/shadows were playing tricks and said nothing – then my son asked, “who’s the old man sitting on your bed, mummy?”

8-10 yrs old, at my first house. Flicked the light on and there was a man standing in the corner. He had this wide brimmed hat on, and some sort of suit that had this large tear up the arm. He didn't say anything. He disappeared and I just sat there staring at where he was.

As a child we lived in a house in Cornwall that was several hundred years old.
Even after the installation of central heating the back bedroom was always cold and our dog refused to go in there, regardless of bribes, and just stood in the doorway, with hackles raised, growling.— Joanne Godding (@joanne_godding) 31 December 2019

But when I was a toddler I had a friendly poltergeist who would help me ‘find’ lost things which would all be found in out of reach, bizarre or places I shouldn’t know about. Went on for two years till we moved house.

Sitting on the sofa, watching TV with my mum.
Suddenly I feel 'something' (best way I can describe it is like a medium-sized bird's wing) brush quickly past the side of my head closest to my mum.
I turn around and she stares at me and says 'did you feel that too?!'
