Interesting story?
In the early 60's my Gran-in-law who lived in Poolstock would tell me about an old woman she used to see on the landing of her house. Although I found this interesting I took it with a pinch of salt and put it down as an elderly womans imagination. I often looked, never, ever, saw a thing.
40yrs later.. Everytime my husband and I passed this house he always said,"I wonder who lives there now?"
One day, I could not resist. Lady and her daughters were gardening. I stopped, said hello, my hubby told them his Gran used to live there and he was born there.
One of the girls asked if his Gran died in the house. I said, no, Wigan Infirmary.
She said," Did she ever say anything--- and in unison both her and I said "An old woman on the landing"
She then turned to the others and said,"I told you".

I told her that I had never seen anything, and that his Gran never felt threatened by this woman.
I got the idea that the girl felt as though a weight had been lifted.

We all enjoyed that chat.
