In 2008, I moved into a new house. It wasn't a house with any kind of history as far as I know. It was a 1970s-ish terraced house in Wallsend, six or so miles outside of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Wallsend is named as such because it's the location of the Roman fort, which was the last fort at the eastern end of Hadrian's Wall.

It was at a noticeably reduced price, and when my girlfriend and I spoke with the estate agent, it became clear why the price was less than expected. The owner was a man with two daughters, and his wife had just died of cancer. He couldn't afford to pay his mortgage, so he needed to sell, even for under market value.

Otherwise, he'd default on his payments and would have it taken off him and receive no money at all. When I first moved in, the place seemed to have some kind of atmosphere. I felt unwelcome at times in my new home. I regularly felt watched. One weekend, I was sat in the living room watching TV alone.

The staircase was behind the wall upon which the TV was mounted, so looking at the TV I could see a doorway off to the left which led to the staircase and the front door of the house. The door was open and as I watched telly I saw the light come on at the bottom of the stairs, clearly turned on by my girlfriend who was upstairs.

I heard her come down the stairs, but she didn't appear at the bottom. What are you doing? I said out loud. I got no response, but the light went out. Just as I was about to stand up and go and find out what she was doing, I happened to glance to my left, the opposite direction to the bottom of the stairs.

and saw that in the back garden, my girlfriend was stood talking to our neighbour over the back garden fence. So, when the light came on, someone clearly descended the staircase and the light was switched off. I was in the house alone.

Yeah, we were talking before this story about the amount of activity that centered around the staircase in our house. So that kind of ties in. But this one was actually me going down the staircase and something happening nearby.

So I was upstairs in the studio working and I could hear Lil, you know, pottering about working, doing things, going into her room from like her office, walking on the landing into the bedroom and just general doing things in a room noises. And that carried on as I walked downstairs and I went into the kitchen and there was Lil making her lunch or a cup of coffee or something.

And I was like, you're here. And I was like, yes, a lot of it. And I had to canter with because I was listening to you doing things upstairs whilst I was upstairs. And then on my way downstairs, you were still doing it. And you can't have passed me on the stairs without me noticing. So something weird happened.

Because I heard you come upstairs and do things. Yeah. And I hadn't, basically.
