    yes, but your also opening the door to every crank who's ungreatful for the hand out their getting.

    Christ almighty, it keeps the warmth in, and the rain out, its more than the vast majority of people have. It takes a special kind of ungreatfulness for charity to be wanting an exercisim paid for too. Let her have only 3 meals a week, and see if she still thinks her place is huanted.

    I'd have agreed with you up until I had an incident related to me by a friends father and his wife (both now deceased). I arrived, with a couple of other people, the morning after the event to see my friend and start the days plans. As it turned out he wasn't there (stayed at his g/f) and what we saw was quite unforgettable. Background...

    Large old farm house, generations had lived in the old house dating back some 150+ years. And they always joked about the 'presence' and old uncle 'jack', but there had been two unfortunate and widely reported deaths in the house many years ago.

    The one death was a quite tradgi-comic affair. Jack, the old timer (old, and alone) had got really pissed up one night in the middle of winter and crashed out on the bed with the window wide open, woke up freezing to death, tried to get up to close the window and fell and smashed his head on some old dresser and lay on the floor unconscious for a while. He finally stirred but couldn't get up and ended up trying to wrap himself in carpet pulled from the edge of the room - and that's how he was found three days later by a neighbouring farmer - half rolled in carpet, dead.

    The other incident was a straight forward farmer and his shotgun madness job, blew his own head off after threatening his wife.

    Anyway. When we walked into the house and went through to the middle room, every stick of furniture was stacked up in the middle of the room. And it was stacked in the oddest, most precarious manner you could imagine. There was also a few china ornaments smashed around and about.

    We were all laughing but kind of stunned and puzzled so went looking for someone to see what was going on, where we found my friends father and mother in the next room along, visibly shaken and freaked out. They related that at around 1 am they were woken up by loud crashing and banging sounds and my friends father got his shotgun out ready to go shoot burglars. He made his way to the bottom of the stairs shouting and announcing he had a gun and that he'd use it (and he would). He tried to kick the ajar door open but it wouldn't move, did it again, same. Then after getting more than a little freaked out by all the crashing and banging he said the just door flew open after about 30 seconds or so - and he saw 'stuff' circling in mid air.

    At which point he **** himself and ran back upstairs grabbing his wife along the way and they locked themselves in their room for the duration and just carried on listening to it, they said it all died down after 2 hours or so.

    Neither were prone to crap, both were grounded people, he was a farmer, she was a teacher and they were extremely freaked out by what had happened by the time we got to them and they had related what had happened.

    Not a lot you can say, but I'll always remember that morning vividly and the events related and seeing furniture stacked in that manner.

    Nice job Suzanne. Thats one spirit that wont be coming back to that house. That spirit has been exorcised. Yup. A job well done.

    Seriously, if some rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish at the council was spending tax payers money on Mystic Meg, I'd demand his resignation and suicide.

    Who sat down and gave this the green light?

    Whoever it was really is a class A, gold star, premium cock.
