Oh Zezti if life was only that simple. Find me the people that want to swap houses with my ma. We may be willing to do an overseas exchange, wanna do it?
It was actually on the left as I was looking
. Funnily enough I did think that at the time.

Animals can definitely sense more things/energies than humans can't, their instincts are more cute. My mum's cat also senses things around the house.
Another example of a place having a 'history' is a place that a fair few in here should know:
For those that don't know, this terrifying, Victorian, Hammer Horror-esque looking building is the old Seaman's Orphanage in Newsham Park (I live not far from here)
It's a formidable looking place (Especially when they get the occasional few bats flying around the tower at night) even more so when you know its history.
As I said above, I'm not sure on the existence of ghosts or spirits, but if they do exist, they are definitely in this place. Nothing good has ever happened here.
It was built in the late 1860's by a group of philanthropists to house the orphans of Britain's maritime sailors (Merchant and Royal Navy sailors who had been lost at sea)
It was used as an orphanage until the 1940's when the kids were all evacuated to the countryside to escape the blitz during WWII.
During the war, it was used as a sort of convalescent hospital for seriously injured servicemen/sailors. Those who had lost several limbs or were not expected to live much longer.
It closed soon after the war as the foundation that supported it no longer had the funds to keep it open and the kids were moved to other orphanages across the country.
It was then taken over in the 50's and became Park View Asylum (Later Park View Hospital) for the mentally ill, which remained open until around the early 90's I believe.
It's been empty ever since.
An orphanage, convalescent ward for dying/seriously ill soldiers and a mental asylum... talk about bad juju!
Of course there's loads of stories about the place being haunted. It's a regular spot for ghost hunters and the like.
People hear laughing or crying children, tales of one of the ex asylum female residents stalking the halls etc.
A guy I work with used to work night security there and swears blind the place is haunted. Chains rattling, things rushing past you, cold spots etc.
He is, however, a very devoutly religious and superstitious guy from Morocco. "There are many devils in there, my brother! Praise to God, I will not be going near that place again"
On the flip side, an old school friend of mine does a lot of urban photography, drone video's of the city (A lot of his stuff gets used by various Liverpool tourism agencies) and he's been through the Seamans Orphanage a fair few times (both legally and not so legally) to photograph the inside.
His view was that, although it's certainly spooky place, you have to bear in mind that it's a massive old building that has stood empty for a few decades on the edge of a Victorian park. The whole place he says is crawling with various critters like rats, mice, squirrels, pigeons, cats, possibly hedgehogs and foxes (And the bats!). You only have to stroll through loudly at night to hear the whole building come alive with scurrying and scratching, not to mention the creaks and groans of the old building itself. If you go in there expecting a paranormal experience, your mind might just give you one.
Or maybe it's a little of both columns... who knows? ?
Is this really all that relevant to the thread? I dunno, but I'm really fascinated by the place, it has such an interesting history. ?
TL;DR - I ramble on about my favorite spooky old building for several paragraphs.

I see the dead every time I step inside Goodison. I look over at the lower bullens and there they all are.

If you think a voluntary contribution to a charity (which I'm very grateful for) is going to change my opinion of someone then you're mistaken. I don't put anyone on ignore. Forum's are for engaging with people, not for ignoring them. She has thick enough skin to take my comments with a pinch of salt if she chooses.

What mundane cause would prompt a table to getting slapped or a door to close on its own or my mum's shoes to be moved across the room, or something shushing shhh as my brother and mum were saying a prayer. If it was just the sounds or the smells then one can rationalize the mind is playing some games but once things move on their own or doors close without nobody closing them then it is no longer the mind but something else making these things happen.
Maybe he was just really skinny and hid behind one of those lampposts. lol
