When I was 16 back in the '90s, my family moved to an old Victorian house in London on a street called Queen's Road.
I slept in a bedroom tucked into the creaky top floor, and weird things would happen up there.
I'd wake up and objects would have moved across the room, specifically this one vase.
When I go to bed, it'd be on the mantel piece, and then in the morning I'd find it on the desk.
I'd put it back, and the next morning I'd find it somewhere else.
Lights would flash on and off on their own, and I'd get this uncomfortable cold feeling whenever I was alone in the house.
It freaked me out at the time, but the truth is I didn't really think much of it.
I was a teenager.
I had other things on my mind.
Every now and then, I'd ask my sister if she was messing with me, but she always swore she wasn't.
I grew up, left home, and became a journalist for Al Jazeera.
I cover things like French labor strikes and the war in Ukraine.
I don't believe in ghosts.
So when my family moved out of the house on Queen's Road, I completely forgot about the weird stuff that happened in there.
Until, that is, a few years ago, a man reached out, an old neighbor of ours, with a story about that very room.
