Ghosts - The white floaty things that go oooooooo

Here's a good one for you all,

Yesterday I went to see my parents (socially distanced obviously), and we got onto the subject of the virus and not being able to enjoy holidays and days out. I mentioned that when things go back to normal I'd like to go to the peak district for the day (it's quite local), and asked about the last time they went.

They both looked at each other and went, well......

We both stayed in a hotel in the peaks a couple of years ago. My dad blurts out, lovely hotel apart from the ghosts :eek:

Just to clarify, neither of my parents are nutters

When they booked in, they were told the hotel was very quiet with not many guests staying that paticular night.

Anyway, both my mum and dad were woken up around 3am by loud noises of children playing and crying.

The next morning at breakfast, my dad mentioned this to the hotel staff and they said lots of guests have heard the same noises, and that the hotel is haunted. They said that they had no children staying in the hotel.

So....what's OCUK make of that.

I'm trying to find out the name of the hotel. Mum can't remember, but she thinks it's now been turned into a school. I've asked her to find out.

Hotel staff watching tv late at night just to annoy the guests

haha, I did think if they maybe played something through speakers in order to get a reputation to boost sales

Not ghosts then, just a time slip.

I did think it seemed a bit back to front

Also, why do ghosts only come out at night

In the experience I had it was during the day.

It's all very strange isn't it

Middle of the afternoon. Was utterly bizarre. I mean I accept I could have been seeing things but it felt very real at the time.

I know the mind can play tricks, but the only time I ever saw someone who wasnt there was when I was coming out of a fever.

My late grandad was sitting on the end of the bed having a full blown conversation with me.

Funnily enough I was actually in his bed at the time as back then my grandma was looking after me.

Thank you for acknowledging my thoughts.

Guest: Did you hear children crying last night?
Pedo ring operator: Oh no that was just plausable ghosts.

I did have a little chuckle

Unless of course there really was children chained up in a cellar :eek:

so how can I exploit all this for huge financial gain? I mean I assume ghosts transend space and time?

someone earlier mentioned the sounds of children playing could have come from the future. If true, big if I know.............but if true, could they perhaps tell me next weeks lotto numebers?

all joking aside, if I asked my kids for last weeks numbers they wouldn't have a clue, so we need a game plan. Tell you what, if we all get our heads together and this comes off, I'll split some the winnings with you all.

Needs to be all six numbers though, have you seen the payout for five numbers? shocking! (edit, this weeks jackpot is only 2m...pah, we'll have to wait for a few rollovers for it to the worth the risk)

If this hotel has indeed turned into a school, I can't just walk in there carrying a ouji board. Can you imagine what the police would think if I got caught and told them what I was trying to do. They'd probably put me on the sex offenders list.
