No - no cats or dogs, and during the daytime I'm quite alone at home (I think ...) My Dad thought maybe the bed covers were 'settling' into natural hollows in the bed - but it doesn't look like that type of sinkage - plus, it's happened on all three beds we've had over the years. I don't think I'm particularly 'sensitive' in that way, as I've visited quite a few places reputed to be haunted and haven't had any feelings. However, I used to go for rides in the country on my bike and there was a certain place on a country lane which really affected me. I'd have an overwhelming feeling I was going to cry. In the end, I had to stop riding that far, and would turn around and go home before I reached that place. And a year or so ago, I had a sudden bizarre feeling a house I was walking past was going to burn down - and about a week later it did. I'd much rather NOT feel anything of this kind - I'd never visit a psychic or mess around with ouija boards - I just want a peaceful and uneventful life! Regarding the 'ghosts' thinking we're the ghosts, I don't see any reason why that couldn't be possible. If there's some kind of warp which happens occasionally, whereby people from different times collide ... well, stranger things have probably happened.

I never, ever want to have any sort of supernatural experience. In my last job, my boss had all sorts of encounters - freaked me out. Some people do seem more in tune with these things and therefore attract them. Do you have a cat or dog? I'd suggest the indent in the bed might be explained that way. As for the black mass in the doorway? Well you haven't been practising the black mass have you? Like you though, I do wonder what the ghosts go back and tell their friends and family about their encounters with us! To them perhaps we are the ghosts... Oooooh creeeepppyyyy…..
