The ghostly bride

Clare, from Southampton, got more than bed and breakfast when she stayed in a Norfolk village guest house.

"In the morning I was amazed to see a woman in a long white dress and small headdress, similar to a bride, walk behind me and into the wall.

"Five minutes later I saw a man sitting on the bed but he disappeared in front of my eyes," said Clare.

Living with the paranormal

Are there secrets lurking in the skies of Norfolk?

One Norfolk family is afraid they may be sharing their home with both ghosts and unexplained flashing lights.

In September, Marisa and her husband woke up to see a light bouncing around the room.

"We never heard any thunder and there were no storms in the area.

"And this light did not light up the entire room in a flash like lightning usually does," she said.

There have been ghostly sightings too, like the child in white her husband saw in the early hours of the morning and took to be their three-year-old son.

"He said our son's name and reached out, but didn't feel anything. And he turned on the lights and still nothing.

"We went to check on our son and he was sound asleep in his bed. He was wearing a blue shirt," said Marisa.

Road to nowhere

Strange sights have been reported outdoors. Sam saw a shining object increasing in size in the night sky, while driving on the A11 near Wymondham.

"At first I thought it must be just the headlights of an aeroplane, but when it got to the size of an orange the object turned red," said Sam.

"It was spherical in size and hovered still in the sky with no sound."

The unidentified object disappeared near Hethersett but Sam later realised that the journey from Brighton, which usually took three hours, had taken five.

Have your say

Coincidence or paranormal influence? Do these experiences have a scientific explanation or do you have a spooky story of your own to tell?

E-mail your spooky stories to us in time for Hallowe'en and marvel at all those weird goings-on in Norfolk.
