Yesterday (20th December 2006) a member of my family had a strange experience right here in our front room.

My wife was tidying up when she bent over facing towards me and stood up in a fright claiming she had been clearly touched from behind. I asked her to explain and she told me that she had felt as if a hand had touched her bottom, she thought it may have been the dog or our son playing games but I was watching her at the time and there was only the two of us in the room, and we were at separate ends of the room as well. I told her no one was there but she was insistent something had physically touched her.

It was clear to me that she was becoming frightened by this as she is a sceptic and this sort of thing does not happen, so she now thinks a balloon from her recent birthday party must have touched her. However as a witness to the event I can tell you there was no way a balloon filled with gas just made its way down to where she was bending over. As this upset her I have not followed this any further but feel either we have a visitor or she may have been contacted.

Yes I know the innuendos but this did happen and I have had things happen here before, more so since Karl, our medium, visited or maybe I am becoming aware.
