Walsall Wonderland

I’m sure there are plenty of people who’ve experienced weird occurrences so I thought I’d add mine to the pile you can read on the net.

Okay so this happened when I was eleven or twelve years old, in my first year of high-school anyway. I woke up on a very bright, clear, sunny morning before school. My bedroom door was open as per normal, and I could see through my doorway the door to the kitchen which was very close to it. From where my bed was, I had a clear vantage of this area.

When I looked up at the kitchen doorway, I saw a small girl standing there. She was blonde, dressed in an old fashioned full length white night gown, and dripping wet. She was across the entire room and a little further out from there, but I knew she was dripping wet. At this point I must have passed out, because I don’t remember anything until my mother woke me up, asking why I hadn’t gone to school.

I did end up going to school, because that night there was a school social on, and the son of a friend of my mother’s was coming to our house before the social and being picked up by his mother after it. When he came into the house, he sat on one of the kitchen chairs and then bounded back up again straight away.

He said that the the chair was wet, and it most certainly was! All the chairs in the kitchen had wet seats, and there was a little water on the kitchen table as well, though none of the windows were open, no one had been in the house all day, there were no pets in the house, and there was nothing on the table that could have spilled water. There was no obvious water anywhere else, just a little on the table cloth and a whole heap on all of the kitchen chairs.

That little girl has always stuck out in my mind… it’s sad to me that there was a ghost of a little girl. I hope she’s in a happy place now.

For a knitting pattern here I must reference two things. Ghosts, obviously, and Christmas! Marely’s Ghost! How awesome is this!? I’ve always thought A Christmas Tale is awesome, so it’s cool to find that little gem.
