I stayed at a haunted cottage in Cornwall some years ago. It was detached and the nearest dwelling was a stable for a horse. Upon first entering the cottage, my boyfriend said, "I don't like it here, I want to go home." We had only just arrived and I asked him why he felt that way and he said he just felt strange going over the threshold. Well, this was a bloke who did not believe in the paranormal. He said he would give it a chance.I’ve just spent a week in Trewince manor cottage in Cornwall, I love paranormal and odd things but this was haunted, I’ve slept for no more than two hours a night. Woke up to find my shower on in the morning (no one had used it yet) doors slamming and an eerie feeling upstairs x
Omg that sounds terrifying! I love paranormal things but my cottage really freaked me out. Would love to spend a night or two where you went though xI stayed at a haunted cottage in Cornwall some years ago. It was detached and the nearest dwelling was a stable for a horse.

One evening we were watching telly and we heard this almighty crash from the room above. It sounded like someone had either jumped from a height, or a piece of furniture like a wardrobe had been knocked over. Well we both jumped up in alarm, ran upstairs and went into the room and there was nothing amiss, not a bit of furniture had been moved. We looked into the other rooms to see if anything had fallen over, but again, nothing untoward. It was really strange and neither of us could understand what had caused the noise, or where it had come from.
Some days later, we heard girls giggling in one of the bedrooms and we both looked at each other and thought, "there is something not quite right about this place." Neither of us wanted to voice the word, "haunted" because both him and me wanted to try and find a rational explanation for what had occurred. We heard the giggling again and it seemed to be coming from the room which was our bedroom. We looked outside to see if any children had got into the garden, but seeing as the light was fading of the evening and this cottage was on a main road with no neighbouring properties, we pretty much knew it wouldn't be local children, well not in the physical sense!
So one day when the weather had taken a turn for the worst, I was flicking through the guest book. I always do this at every cottage I've stayed at. I love reading other people's thoughts about a place. Anyhow I came across this entry, which gave me goosepimples, it said, "lovely cottage, but I wish the ghost would pay her share of the rent!"
We were rather relieved to be home and we often talk about the "haunted cottage" both agreeing that it is a place we will not return, nor recommend!
I've just read a book called Ghosts of the NHS and it was written by a clairvoyant who used to be a Nurse. It is an interesting read.My Mum has encountered quite a few incidents with spirits or alike. She is a Nurse.
Her most remembered -
She trained as a Nurse in a old Military Hospital and whilst working a night shift when she was Qualified she was instructed to a ward with another Nurse. The ward was a end of life ward, none of the patients were able to get out of bed.
The Hospital had many wings and wards and was supervised by one Matron who circulated the Hospital. The ward was secured by two Fire Exit style doors which were locked as standard and the only keys were kept in the Nurses station or on the Matron. Mum said they were massive heavy doors and only opened in one direction and took an almighty push to open.
Mum had just done the checks and she was sat in the Nurses Station with the other Nurse, when they heard footsteps. The Footsteps were coming from the direction they expected the Matron from. Mum said the room went ice cold like you could see your breath. She just froze as did the other Nurse.
The double doors both opened the wrong way, foot steps went down the ward, past them and then to the other set of doors which opened the wrong way. Mum said then the temperature rose and she and the other Nurse just looked at each other and then they went and made a drink.
Mum went and tried both doors with the key and they were both locked, and on unlocking it was not possible for the doors to open the other way.
Another....
Mum was tending to a lady with severe Dementia and the lady hadn't spoken for years. Mum said the room went uncomfortable and her and the lady just stayed still. After a couple of minutes the lady looked and my Mum and said 'its ok my dear they've gone now'.
My Mum has seen loads of odd things and she said that its almost standard in a Hospital - :O
It was in a hamlet called St. Hilary, near a village called Goldsithney.Omg that sounds terrifying! I love paranormal things but my cottage really freaked me out. Would love to spend a night or two where you went though x
I got goosepimples reading that.Almost exactly the same albeit only almost 2 Years! I can remember feeling absolutely terrified when in the house literally all the time, constantly waiting for the next thing to happen! I was terrified having to go back there at the end of a day!
I’d consider myself an introvert and like time on my own but I would never be in that house on my own, I would always have people round but even then something would happen and we’d look at each other and say shall we go out, or I’d find an excuse to go out if my hubby was out, after the first few weeks I was never there alone!
Almost all of our goings happened upstairs, apart for a door slamming, tv coming on and a visitor sitting at our dining room table completely on edge saying every time the turned their head they could see someone standing in the kitchen from the corner of their eye (who was I trying to kid haha) but predominantly it all happened upstairs. Our stairs separated the living room/ dining room, straight stair case with 3 steps that came of at an angle into the dining room! One night my husband and I had finished dinner and were talking (probably about the ghost, looking back it’s crazy how much of my life that house consumed) and i can remember clear to this day there were footsteps as if someone was walking down the last three steps and what sounding like a foot landing on the laminate floor! That moment there was me done, the landlord got the notice the next day! It felt like it was warning us it wasn’t going to stay upstairs anymore! I have chills writing this!
I often drive nearby and think I’d love to ask the current owners if they have experienced anything!

Oh fascinating, I am curious to know where abouts in Essex it was.I used to work in pub in a very old historic village in Essex, I was walking Home down the hill after my shift it had just gone mid night. I saw a man in a top hat and a long jacket walk into the telephone box, I didn’t see him come out but when I walked past he wasn’t in there either xx
I was near Stansted airport way xxOh fascinating, I am curious to know where abouts in Essex it was.
This gave me full on goosebumps.the other was my sister had bought a terrace house and in the shed was all little walking sticks and a medical box, we found out an old nurse had lived in the house before her, well my sister asked me to babysit her son and she had baby monitors on the wall, she also had big old fashioned oak paneled doors in every room, one night as I was baby sitting I heard a mans voice say quite loudly "See to the baby" I looked around and there wasn't a soul there so I said the baby monitors have picked up other people talking , I settled down again, then a woman came over the Monitor saying "didn't you hear him see to the baby" at which point I shot off upstairs leaving the oak door wide open, when I got upstairs the baby was awake and looking over to the corner of the room smiling, at that point when I looked where he was looking to I felt a cold sensation and downstairs heard the oak door slam shut, a cat outside screamed out well to say I s**t myself was an understatement I grabbed the baby went into another room and stayed there until my sister got home, when she came in I was physically trembling, she said Oh I take it you met him then, I didn't want to stay there but ended up staying but was awake all night , she said she had never heard the womans voice just the man and had walked through him on the stairs but oddly didn't feel scared just sad , I never visited again when she wanted me to babysit I asked her to bring him to our house it freaked me out so badly
