how about this for a TRUE ghostly tale.
A builder friend bought an old house in chapel street Bedworth a few years ago. After making it habitable he moved in and his 2 year old son had a nursery on top floor.
They often heard him chattering away as all children do but one day they asked him what he had been talking about the night before as it was a long time before he went to sleep. (He was now 3) . he said, "oh, I was talking to mrs J" and they laughed.
He then often made comments about what Mrs J had said, such as "Yes I know Mrs J told me", or Mrs J. said--
After a while things started to happen in the house--not spectacular-. for instance a piece went missing from one of those musical jigsaw puzzles kids have where, when the last piece is put in it plays a tune. They searched everywhere.
A few weeks later they heard this thing start playing. when they looked the puzzle was complete. They were quite scared especially when the little boy said that Mrs J. had told him that she would find it for him.
They moved house a couple of months later after checking the recorded history of the house and finding that a Mrs J. had lived and died there
about 100 years ago.
