The I have four spooky stories for you today and the last story comes from October 10th, 2023.

And Stray Number One comes from Tara.

When I was younger, I used to be more susceptible to the paranormal.

And growing up in an old farmhouse on a remote road next to a graveyard

I've had my fair share of paranormal moments.

Listening to your stories about the man in the hat reminded me of the first time I saw something

which I could tell wasn't really there. Although this was much calmer and friendlier and encounter, which makes me think that it might not be the same

hat man. I would say I was around 13 years old and walking to the bus stop past the graveyard and

saw a man who didn't belong in this time period leaning against a tip.

I noticed him straight away as he had a distinguished top hat and was staring right at me, although in a friendly manner.

Since this encounter I saw him a few more times around the area and referred to him as

Philip as the name seemed to fit him. I told my family about Philip and they just

found it funny and when weird things would happen in our house such as the TV

turning on randomly we would refer to it as Philip messing around, although I know my mom never really

believed me or what I had seen.

This leads me to the creepy part.

We were fortunate enough to have a holiday home in Myorca, which we would visit during the holidays and rent out when we were not using it.

We hadn't used the house for about a year, and I didn't really think much of it, still being about 14 or 15, until one summer my mom booked

as a week out there. Now I don't actually remember this holiday or in all honesty what I saw, but my mom

has since believed every paranormal thing I've ever seen, and to this day, 10 years on, is still creeped out.

My mom says I came to her one morning and told her that when I went to the Lou during the previous night, I saw an old lady sitting on the marble stairs watching me.

The creepy part of this story is that the reason we hadn't been to the house in so long
