ghostly happenings

it is still 1971 i am 8 years old Laura is 5 and after the first strange happening in our house we began to look for them anything strange anything weird that happened we began to take note of in our brains somehow it made life even more great and exciting we never talked about it to any one only between ourselves nanny new because she was often at our house when the occurrences happened one morning after nanny had stayed the night she asked me quite seriously Helen she said was you lifting my bed up in the night i could feel it being lifted up and down at the end no i said i hadn't touched the bed it was a heavy iron bed and with my nan in it as well ,she was no feather weight at the time i was probably older at this time as Laura had moved up in the attic so nanny slept in Laura's old bed in the scariest room in the house i was sure something happened in that room many years before we ever moved there either a murder or a suicide or something terrible as there was one time i went up to bed and as i got to the door the most terrible atmosphere hit me the atmosphere of the room was so thick i couldn't enter pure evil is the only way i can describe it i went up in the attic to Laura and mummy mummy i said the res no way i can sleep in that room tonight the res something evil in there i cant go in ,Laura got scared then and started pulling her bed across the attic room to mummy's bed i actually slept on the sunbed that mummy normally slept on i think mummy slept on the floor,spent a very uncomfortable night but it was better than facing that room next day we must have forgot all about it as the room was back to normal i wish now id wrote the date down of that night as I'm sure it was the date when something bad happened many years before.mummy used to always have an afternoon sleep or nap she would most times sleep in daddy's big bed while he was at work it must have been holiday time as me and Laura were both in the room i didn't see this ghostly happening as i was over by the mirror in the corner of my dads room which went into a little recess apparently mummy was lying in the bed , Laura was near by and sandy the cat was sleeping on my mums lap ,yes she was fast asleep when all of a sudden sandy rose up in the air went across to the side and dropped to the floor my mum said it was as if someone had picked her up moved her across and dropped her a cat couldn't do them movements by themselves,Laura saw it too,this was another event that we carefully calculated in our minds it was probably around this time that George our regular and local milkman told my mum an interesting tale about a family that lived down our road who's children played with the drains and they all died he was an old milkman definitely of the old school type and had lived and played round the area as a boy he remembered how there was farmland and haystacks before the roads were built he couldn't remember which numbered the family lived at though mummy really went along with this idea as it being our house were the children had all died especially when she went to work in Gowlands in Morland road and got talking with some of the older people there especially on ivy who remembered George the milkman as a boy and that they used to play in the haystacks she also remembered a family who's children all died and she thought it was number 35 which was our house this was exciting news for all of us and we talked about it between ourselves immensely but needless to say we have never found proof that it was our house obviously this did happen but which house remains a mystery .by my feelings ,what has happened and what i have found out maybe a very different type of family were haunting our house my mum and dad first acquired our house under suspicious circumstances in the first place at the time we was living in Coombe road and i was just 1 years old mummy and daddy wanted to buy a house they had looked at a few when quite by accident they came across an estate agents thed never noticed before and they was given the keys to no 35 this house was selling for 13 thousand mummy took a liking to the house straight away it was 1964 and they decided to buy this house as soon as they brought the house the estate agents vanished she could never find it again even though she knew shed been there it was never seen or heard of again.
