One night last November I returned to my house in the North West of England after being for a few drinks in the local pub. I live with my family, but as I returned quite late(around midnight) no one was up. I was quite hungry so I decided to make myself a cheese roll, little did I know what was to follow!

I decided upon red cheddar as my chosen filling and took it out of the fridge before diving up stairs to use the toilet. After I had recovered I returned down stairs to make my sandwich, but the cheese was no where to be seen. I was puzzled but thought no more and instead used edam, ate my sandwich and went to bed.

Everything was fine until my Mother woke me up in the morning complaining about the mess I had made when I had came in "drunk" the night before. I protested my innocence and went down stairs to see what she meant. To my amazment there was small puddles of milkall over the kitchen floor. This was just the start, over the following weeks a large Jersey Cow started to appear outside our house even through we live in a large town, then my aunt who regulary attended spiritual meetings told me she had been contacted by someone called 'Daisy' and did 'Moo, Moo, Moo, Mooooo' mean anything to me?

My Aunt hadn't been well for some time and so I passed off her comments. The cow continued to appear in our drive everynight. Then on the 4th of January my Aunt died suddenly. Due to the strange way she died (she was found with a frozen beefburger wedged in her windpipe), an investigation was opened. After she was examined it was found she was one of the first victims of CJD the human form of mad cows disease. The cow never appeared again after her funeral.
