Many years ago John and I were visiting a Country House, we were making our way along a corridor into the display room, across from the door where we entered the room was a door which led into the garden.

A woman entered the room from the garden and walked diagonally across the room in front of us and I assumed that, as I couldn't see her when I entered the room, she had gone out of a door hidden from my view by some display cabinets. We started looking at the exhibits and worked our way to where she had gone but there was no doorway only a blank wall. I was a bit rattled about where she had gone and turned to look around the room. John and I were the only occupants and when I double checked that she hadn't just gone back out of the garden door I saw that it was in fact a window and that it was closed. I was about to say something to John when he commented that he though he must have been seeing things as he was sure that a woman had been in the room with us and yet there was no exit from the room that she could have used without us seeing it.

Later when we were walking in the garden we noticed we were on a path that went in front of the exhibition room and spookily when we looked at the window we noticed that the stonework had been altered and that it had originally been a doorway.

I still can't say I believe in a lot of the paranormal things that I have seen in some TV programs but I am willing to believe that there are some things that happen that can't be simply explained away.
