Go Back To Bed - Sandygate Close - Anon
I currently live in Webheath, Sandygate Close, i've lived here for 9 years now. When I was younger around 10 or 11 and my sister was a few months old, my mom and dad went out and left us with my aunt and uncle to babysit. I was only young at the time so this was kept from me until a few years later. There is a mirror in the front room which shows the reflection of the stairs, while me and my sister were asleep my uncle said that he saw a little girl run down the stairs and the kitchen light came on. Thinking it was me, he followed into the kitchen and told me to get to bed, he was shocked when no one was there. He went upstairs with my aunty and we were both fast asleep and my sister couldn't even crawl yet, let alone get down the stairs. When my mom and dad got back that night they were eager to leave when they are usually willing to stay for a few drinks and something to eat. The next day my dad called my uncle and asked what was wrong, my uncle didn't want to say anything, dad asked if he'd seen the little girl on the stairs! Dad had seen it too and not said anything to us. I have never seen anything in the house but my uncle seems pretty adamant, however dad's very sceptical and thinks there's a "reasonable explanation".

New Salsa Halloween Party - The Foxlydiate Arms - Saturday 31.10.09
Because of my career in The World of Psychology I usually have an explanation for "The Unexplained" etc. I usually find most "strange goings on" have a logical reason, before and after this experience I have never seen a ghost but I am left baffled by my experience at New Salsa's Halloween Party at The Foxlydiate Arms on Saturday 31.10.09
During the party, three contestants were to be selected that had the best Halloween outfits, one would win some super prizes.
One contestant was an obvious choice , she was dressed as a corpse bride , wearing what I can only describe as "theatrical make up". The other contestants were A Dracula from Redditch & An Edward Scissor Hands from Kidderminster. When it came to inviting the contestants forward, Dracula & Edward came forward , but there was no sign of The Corpse Bride. time was filled in by playing tunes for everyone to freestyle while a search was launched for the third contestant.
Having finally found her . the contest began. The winner was to be decided by way of audience applause. I was certain that The Corpse Bride would win , she had by far the most spookiest outfit. The audience were invited to "make some noise " for The Corpse Bride - the result was low level applause & laughter. When applause was invited for Edward Scissor Hands , The roof nearly came off - Dracula medium applause. The same procedure followed, even less applause for The Corpse Bride, while everyone went nuts for Edward . The M.C. apologised to The Corpse Bride explaining that there were many people from Kidderminster in attendance & they clearly cheered for their mate.
I remember the M.C. saying to The Corpse Bride, "If it was up to him you would be the winner ."
Now here is where things got strange, after the party as I am helping collecting and clearing everything up, New Salsa members came up the host to say goodbye, great party etc. some said, "Why did you do that joke twice ?" He said "What joke?", "The Corpse Bride one", apparently they claimed that there was no one standing next to him & that there were only two contestants.
However some of the audience did see The Corpse Bride during the contest and during the evening.
It seemed to be split 50/50 some said, "we saw her" some saying that, "there was no one there!".
Because of the large crowd that came, everyone had to purchase a ticket beforehand, there was a register on the door for everyone to sign in. After the party, every ticket could easily be allocated to every member that attended, except one, The Corpse Bride. Her name was not signed in on the register and I met every party attendee at New Salsa's dance classes in the weeks & months that followed the party ... except one The Corpse Bride.
