can they not afford advertising of their own, like the many other commercial enterprises that pay RLFans for advertising space?

True story? It's a shame that TV, cameras and videotape hadn't been invented in England in the 70s, as then obviously given the alleged haunting took place over many weeks, they could have included plenty of cuts of live footage.

How can it be a true story if its about ghosts?

We've got a poltergeist in our house.

No seriously we have, there is no other explanation - really, seriously.

We have a chest of drawers in the hallway, its a solid pine chest, the drawers are solid 10mm thick pine, they don't slide on runners, its a traditional, heavy chest of drawers and one of the bottom drawers is double width and full of the usual crap that gets shoved in drawers in hallways, its heavy is what I'm saying and when you pull it out it takes some effort and you have to pull both handles at once to withdraw it evenly otherwise it jams at an angle.

On several occasions we've heard a thump and found it completely out of the chest and on the floor.

We've no explanation, we've never seen it happen but we've heard the thump on the floor when it comes out.

The dog (German Shepherd) has his bed next to it but he can't pull it out, we've tried the theories, we've hooked his collar around one of the knobs and he's pulled to get free but it just shifts a couple of inches and then jams at an angle, you literally have to pull both knobs together with an even pressure, a dog can't do that.

Someone explain that before I call the lovely Yvette Fielding please.

We've got the same problem.



It's where the fairies at the bottom of the garden sleep when it starts turning a little chilly.

Personally, I'd go for "I don't know what does it" rather than "It must be a poltergeist".

Its a poltergeist who only ever wants to pull that drawer out.

There must be something in there that its looking for.

Heres the daft thing, on some occasions when its happened the dog has been laying next to the drawers and when we come to see whats happened he just continues to lay there, if he'd pulled it out he'd have his head inside it believe me, I've seen him when he gets in the bin.

Its all very strange.

Remove all the items from the drawer and place them in various places around the house and see what happens.

I don't believe it's a poltergeist, but I'd love to know the answer.
