Wow, Simon! You scared me shit with this story. Thank Heavens I've never seen a ghost or though many in my family not only believed, but spoke to many. I stay away as much as possible from "The Believers" that was a movie based on my native Cuba, beliefs in an ancient religion. I'm writing a screenplay based on it, but it scares me to venture, but hey your story inspires me as it creep me out. Thanks for posting it here.

Jorge - Hi and sorry I never responded. I've only just seen your post today! Thanks so much for the comment - I really appreciate it. I was thoroughly creeped-out recently by the story of a Mexican couple attacked by an evil spirit called a "Lechuza"in their house in Texas. Very similar in many ways to the Irish ghost stories. Best wishes, Simon
