Hi, me and my wife have seen black shadowy figures in our house, also heard someone walking across our landing and stopped outside the bedroom door, but no one was there, On more than one occasion, my wife saw a dark shadowy figure yesterday in the dining room but no one was in the house, One incident sticks in our minds, the youngest daughter was singing in her bedroom, and when she stopped the singing carried on? it really shook her up

The flat above Granby Motors had lots of activity. Dogs, objects disappearing then reappearing months later in empty drawers, and an interactive fairy that spoke to me, touched my head regularly, and jumped all over my bed and inside it when I was reading in bed.

I remember talking to a lady by the name of 'Cundy' who lives at the top of Wirksworth Road in Kirk Hallam. (I do believe that she still lives there) She had experiences with Monks, passing through her bedroom !! When she looked into it she found that her house had been built on a path which led to the Abbey at Dale Village !! This is not the first sighting, many people have seen monks along the whole stretch of Monks Way

Hi, I would like to add an experience that I had when I was 18/19. I rented a house on Little Hallam Lane in Ilkeston, which is still there. When I first moved in, nothing unusual happened. However, after around 9 months, I started to have out of body experiences during my sleep which I remember with clarity. To make a long story short, I started to have encounters with a dark entity (black mass) and this started to happen virtually every night and scared me to death. The last straw was the night I went to bed and felt I needed some protection, so put a bible to my chest when I went to bed. After about 15 minutes, the lights in my bedroom started to flicker and finally went off. I quickly got up to check out the window to see if there was a power cut and noticed that the street lights were still on and some house lights were still on. It was then that a banging noise started somewhere in the house and that was it. I got dressed and ran outside and walked to a friend's house not returning until the morning. I soon moved out of the house. Since I have moved, I have noticed that many people have rented the property, but do not seem to stay more than a year. A couple of years ago the property became vacant again, so I arranged a viewing with the letting agent and got a medium to go back in with me. What the medium picked up was a man upstairs in the middle bedroom that he described as evil. The medium actually stated he had never come across such an evil soul. Without me saying anything about my experience, the medium also stated that he shows himself as a black mass and that he sensed that this man had murdered in the past. I would love to get in touch with other people who have rented the property to see if or what experiences they have had.
