Was the house haunted or could there have been a conventional explanation ?

The house, which was situated in the countryside, had seemed idyllic and for a while nothing unusual happened. When her friend Sarah came to stay one day, however, things took a rather sinister turn.

"She told me in the morning she had heard what sounded like somebody breaking into the house," said Cooper. "She was so frightened she phoned her boyfriend."

Before long, other guests who had slept in the same room began reporting everything from disembodied voices in the dead of night to sightings of shadow figures lurking in the darkness.

Then, strange things began happening elsewhere in the house, like paintings that had been hanging up on the wall mysteriously ending up in the wrong locations for no rhyme or reason."It's not like they just fall off, it's like somebody has taken them off and placed them in different places," said Cooper.

As time went on, other phenomena began to occur, such as the shower turning on by itself full blast in the middle of the night, the sound of mysterious footsteps going up the stairs when nobody else was at home and a sighting of a strange man walking past the window.

Despite all these occurrences, it was what happened one night when she was watching TV with her son that would stick with her forever.

"I cant remember what happened first, whether it was the sound or the security light that comes on on my landing, but the sound is actually the thing that scares me the most," she recalled.

"It was the sound of feet running on a wooden floor and what I can only describe as a pair of children's legs, a 7 or 8 year old, and it had these white shorts on, and these legs ran around the bed and me and my son both tracked it for a matter of seconds then it was just gone. It completely vanished."

"It was the most extraordinary thing I've ever seen."
