Things that go bump in the night...

Last night Mr PE was out late and I decided to do some research for my NaNo. Which would have been a great idea had I not been investigating the paranormal. I ended up scaring myself half to death by looking at the photos at ghoststudy.com. Some of them are faked up to the eyeballs, some of them I couldn’t even see what they were talking about but there were one or two that put the fear of God in me. Scroll down and look at the face in the car window if you dare. Still relaxed? Then scroll down to check out the murdered woman in the flagstone.
Then I stumbled across the following paragraph,

Some small children even have "imaginary friends" they talk with and play with. Grownups tend to just shrug their shoulders and think that the child just has an overactive imagination, when in reality, it is most likely that these children are actually interacting with someone in spirit.

Because my Daughter doesn’t do things by halves she actually has several imaginary friends. From a very very young age she has communicated with ‘the little people’ often stooping down to pick them up from flower beds. The Little People used to un-nerve my Mum because Littleone's concentration span for this little game would last far longer than anything else she would do at two years old. Often she would start something else and ‘remember’ to put the little people down and pick them up again if she needed to use both hands for something.
Her latest ‘friend’ is a little boy called Boobsie who (and I quote) ‘sometimes lives a couple of doors down and sometimes in my top drawer’ He is a bit cheeky and she is always telling him off for being naughty, his favourite pastime is being pushed in the swing.
So as you can imagine Boobsie was freaking me out last night.
Needless to say I slept with the light on. I don't think I'm cut out for this kind of writing, next year I think I might just write a book about nice fluffy teddy bears or something.
I also didn’t realise that Mr PE had to go out again tonight.
Does anyone want to come round and hold my hand?

What was that noise?
