I'm in modern day Devon living in a spooky old house where cellars doors unlock themselves, puddles appear on the floor and running footsteps can be heard. There is also a malevolent presence. I'm not at all sure I'd want to live there.

This thread looks fun!

I'm in mid-late C16th England, snooping around in people's private correspondence, trying to get to the bottom of Amy Robsart's suspicious and untimely demise.

I'm now alternating between modern Whitby, and Tudor London, where I've just been arrested and sent to the Tower! :eek:

Hi JD, apologies, I've only just seen this post :o

The book is called "The Haunting" by Alan Titchmarsh.
