11. Coming home.

Last week (Monday 10th August) we were sorting out a few things in the house and paying several visits to the council dump to get rid of the rubbish. Anyway, I had hitched the trailer to the car and was on my way back home with my three kids in the car. We pulled up and I backed the car into the driveway to find my wife waiting for us. This is where it gets weird.

She was kinda spooked and told me a story.

She was sitting on a stool in our bedroom sorting through some stuff, when she heard a tapping on the front door - as a child would knock: the same knock as our 6 year old daughter makes.
Her first thought was "why is she knocking when the door was unlocked?" She then got up to answer it and found nobody there; but us backing into the drive with the car.

Was it the little boy telling her that we were back? We don't know.
It's just another odd thing that happens in our house.

10. Seeing the light.

Last Friday (June 26th), my wife was in the kitchen making a cup of tea. She was facing the wall with the cooker behind and to the right. Out of the corner of her eye she glimpsed something and turning slightly, she saw what she described as a bright white light level with the grill (which would be about 3ft from the ground) about the size and shape of a small child.

She turned to get a closer look and the light faded away.

Could this be a manifestation of the little boy?

My own theory is that it is the boy and not his mother who is our regular visitor. As I mentioned before, there is often the smell of fresias in the house - the old lady's favourite flower. Could it be that the boy is 'bringing' them in for his mother as a gift?

9. Flying glasses.

Last week I was in the kitchen with my wife making the dinner. We both had a glass of cola and she put her glass down on top of the fridge.
Now in order to picture the scene properly, I need to give you the layout of our kitchen. Its about 12 feet long and six wide - a typical galley kitchen. The fridge is near the door leading to the hall at one end which is in turn directly opposite the back door at the other end.
So, she put her glass down on top of the fridge and we went into the living room.
Minutes later we hear a smash and we go to investigate. Her glass is lying shattered on the floor by the back door twelve feet from where she put it.
Our first thought was that it was the work of one of our two cats, but it turns out that they were asleep upstairs on our eldest's bed. The kids were in the living room with the dog and the kitchen was empty. So what had caused the glass to jump from the centre of the counter top and to smash on the floor at the other end of the room?
It appears to be that time of year again.
