From sleep disturbances, the hairs standing up on the back of your neck, appliances turning on by themselves, animals acting out, and unexplained noises.  This place had them all.  I never believed in ghosts or anything paranormal for a long time. I would consider myself to be a person based on logic, rationality and facts. Strong evidence. Tangible evidence that you can see, touch and feel. Mostly black and white logic. I admit that there is a minuscule area of grey. It's that small little voice that says 'W hat if it's true? ' and makes you start questioning things, usually around the time you want to sleep and are at your most vulnerable. Why doesn't that voice make itself known at other times? You know when you aren't by yourself? Let me ask you this though, would you willingly go and live in a house that was rumoured to be haunted? Some die hard skeptics would holler 'yes it wouldn't bother me'. However, I am going to speculate tha

Anyone who has worked in an office environment may come across these personality stereotypes at some stage (if they haven't already). Which ones are you familiar with? 1. The Hipster Most likely in their mid 20s. Cool with everything. Never seen eating anything unhealthy. Common phrases include:  'Is that gluten free?' 'Can I please have a soy chai latte?'

She/he is a good listener, a good problem solver and you see her/him so much that she may as well be your wife/husband. 3. The Over Achiever

Liam Gallagher (LG) didn't disappoint in Sydney last night. He still sings with his hands behind his back with his knees slightly bent. He came out singing some of his older songs, sung the opening line to Rock n roll star 'I live my life in the cittaaay' which got the crowd going initially. His new songs are sounding just as good as the older ones and his voice has not weakened with time. LG is a character. He is consistent, has his unique walk and still wears his iconic parkas (despite it being an Australian summer). He promised to wear it and he delivered. As with every LG concert most Oasis fans will inevitably ask 'Where is Noel?' That question was never asked last night in Sydney as LG held his own and did not appear to need his big brother. He proved that he can pull off a 'one man show'. He was professional, was was due to come on at 9.30pm and came out at 9.30pm. There were no tantrums like his younger 90s days. Or perhaps tantrums are r
