Deb M Poet Rhyme

-A Spirit Lived With Us

We lived in the U.K as expats in a Tudor style home in Kent
It was a nice home but it had “a feel” about it I can’t explain
Not frightening or threatening at all
Just a different sense in the atmosphere “something strange”

My son a very brave boy who was never afraid of the dark
Told me “He didn’t like it upstairs in his bedroom sometimes it gave him a funny feeling”
As a child he also sensed something unknown in that house
His words sent a chill down my spine and hastened my breathing!!

One night while my husband and I were watching t.v downstairs
There was one almighty thud in our sons bedroom directly above
We raced upstairs thinking he’d fallen out of bed or over
To find him fast asleep tucked up nice and snug

An unexplainable happening that became a regular occurrence 
One loud thud , our son asleep and nothing there
Unbelievably enough it wasn’t frightening 
Again …Just a strange entity in the air!

This night at the base of stairs a movement caught my eye
In stunned silence we watched a  female shaped shadow glide up the stairs
Disappearing out of sight when at the top
We found our son sleeping soundly and again nothing was there!
 
Initially, it was somewhat unnerving and there was definite unrest
My husband saw the shadow one more time then it was never seen again 
As time passed  life relaxed and continued  as normal
Though I was interested in the houses history for a reason to explain?

So , apparently many years ago a family of five lived there
Strict parents and their three daughters forbidden to ever wed
All three sisters grew old and died as spinsters 
One of them dying in that house it is said …..!
