riends and I drove out to East Peckham’s Roydon Hall, which dates from the 16th century, one night – it’s a place that couldn’t be any spookier. We parked, walked through the creepy archway and opened the Hall’s creaking wooden door. Immediately, we were hit with a strong gust of cold wind – even though it was a warm summer’s night without a breeze. My male friends went into the hall to explore but ran out of the building screaming. They pretended they were joking – but you only had to look at their faces to see they’d been disturbed by the atmosphere in the house. And no, we haven’t been back.

ven though I’ve worked in London for years I’d never been a tourist, so on a shopping trip with my daughter I was determined to take lots of touristy pics, starting with one of a black cab. I waited for the right moment and took a picture of the cab on its own, with no other people or cars anywhere in the vicinity. When I checked the picture on my digital camera seconds later, I actually screamed – terrifying my daughter: the picture [above] clearly showed a hooded fi gure.

ince the birth of my fi rst child last Christmas, once or twice a month I wake up in the middle of night, frantically searching the bed while asking, “Where’s the baby? Where’s the baby?” When my husband tries to calm me down, telling me that Alec is in his cot in the corner of the room, I tell him “No, the other baby”...
