Heir raising moment -spooky or what ?!?

Love it!

Another spooky coincidence:
my cousin went on a holiday to England, armed with all of our ancestral places. Going to Honiton, he tried to find a park in the main street so he could look around, especially for our ancestral inn. There was only one park left, so he decided to go into the wine shop that he parked in front of. He asked the owner if he knew where the Angel Inn was; imagine his surprise when the man told him he was standing in it! It was no longer an inn, but a shop and accommodation I believe.
When my cousin explained how our ancestors had once leased it, the man told him very cheekily that my cousin couldn't have it back.

That's heir-raising spookiness indeed, pinefamily

Searching my mothers side of my family tree, I came across similar surnames (spelt differently)
of the mothers of my Grandad and Grandma  -  after a lot of research (well, I was a beginner!)
I found my two Grandma's were sisters.     I had a tingling up my spine when I pieced it all
together.
I wish my mum was still alive to tell her.

my 6x great grandmother died in 1867 on my "birth day"  (in Knutsford, Cheshire) !

Hi, I've just started researching my family tree and have the Harbord family on my dad's side going back to our family seat in Norfolk. Saw your post about the Kray twins and spookily my father (who also grew up in London) looked very much like Reggie Kray and my youngest son even more so. Wondered if you had found links to the Harbords? Also had Harbords in Great Yarmouth too.

Working as a Nurse on Nights shifts, in various places (a couple of them old Workhouses) I've had a number of odd experiences, but one in particular happened at a Residential/Nursing Home with about 40 residents.

I was on shift with two staff, who were both upstairs helping someone. A buzzer went off, so I went to see the person who called, as I passed I noticed the gentleman next door had kicked his sheet & blanket off the bed. He was asleep and it was very warm, so I left him till after I saw to the other person. When I went back he was all very tidily tucked in (Nurse-style). No way could he have done this himself. When one of the other staff came down, I told her I didn't hear her do it. Open mouthed she told me neither of them had come down because they had been busy on other calls!!!!!

Absolutely no way could anyone else in the building have done it!

I had a very spooky moment in a hospital as well, (first day back in the ward when I had my first child) I got up to go to the loo, glanced across at the red-headed new mother in the bed opposite me and thought she was dead!  She was lying flat on her back with her big blue eyes wide open, and didn't answer when i asked her if she was OK.  No response at all!  I panicked and I buzzed for the nurse, and when she arrived, and looked at her, she laughed, and said " Don't worry, she's just sound asleep, she always sleeps with her eyes open!
