Some weeks after settling into our new home, on retiring to bed. I suddenly awoke around 2pm at the foot of my bed was a little girl around the age of six,wearing a nighty and big furry slippers. Thinking it was my daughter i said "Go back to bed". I started to drift back of to sleep, then awoke again. I looked at the bottom of the bed and the little girl was still there. The little girl with blonde hair wasn't speaking. I THOUGHT WHAT IS SHE STARING AT. Not in the mood for games i shut my eyes and heard a noise on the landing. I shot out off bed and my eight year old son was being sick all over the place.

After sorting him out and getting him changed i returned back to bed. Within a couple of minutes i heard my daughter shout to me, i opened my eyes and she was stood in the doorway. "Mum,who's that in the bed with you". "Just get in bed, now no more games". Next minute she crawled in at the back of me and hit the bed, it felt like a big gust of wind under the bed sheets. "What are you doing,cover yourself up". "Did you not see that mum". I said "See what". My daughter sat up and said "Who was in bed with you ,at the back of you there was this big mound like someone sat under the covers, i hit the mound and it just disappeared".

All in all after a lenghthy conversation i asked my daughter that when she got in my bed how did she feel. The answer were "The hairs on the back of my neck stood up". No explanation for that one, but i did realise that the girl at the foot of my bed came as a warning to tell me my son was ill. Needless to say no way was i turning round,good job i didn't.....
