One haunting presence at a private house along Orchard side appears to have made itself primarily known to a baby in the house.

The young child would appear to watch an invisible presence move around rooms, and on one occasion a parent observed the baby tracking the movement of the entity only to see a couple of cards on a high shelf fall over as the child looked up.

Another story involved a potentially less scary ghoul - a UFO infact.

On October 14, 1954 it is believed that a fighter pilot, while out on routine patrol, reported a near miss with a silver domed disc.

The UFO had been travelling towards him at fantastic speed, and had veered off at the last possible second.
