Five Strange Stories
A
Tony Wilson was walking his dog Sally last July when Sally suddenly stopped. “She was very upset about something,” said Tony afterwards, “but I didn’t know what it was. We were next to Red Lake, near our house. Then, 1 saw something in the lake. Sally was very scared, but I went to investigate. I couldn’t see clearly, but there was definitely something there. It wasn’t a boat, but it was about the same size as a small boat. I had my mobile phone with me, so I took a photo.” Three days later, Tony’s photo appeared in several national newspapers. No one knows what Tony saw, but people have called it “The Red Lake Monster”.

Fifteen schoolchildren were playing in the playground during the lunchtime break when one of them pointed up to the sky. Soon, all the children were looking up. Right above the playground, was a bright round object. “I don’t know what it was,” said Jilly, one of the children. “I know it wasn’t a plane, though.” Alan Craig, the teacher who was with them, also saw the object. “It stayed above us for about five minutes,” he said, “before it flew off. Was it a UFO? I suppose so, because none of us know what it was!”

C
Mike and Carla were watching TV when it suddenly became very cold. “It was very strange,” said Carla, “because it was the middle of summer. I put a sweater on, and we carried on watching TV. Mike saw it first. It looked just like a person, but it was grey and we could see through it. It walked all the way across the room, and through the wall! It’s the strangest thing I’ve ever seen! I don’t really believe in ghosts, but I can’t explain what we saw.”
D
Twelve-year-old Toby was on holiday with his parents in Italy when he said, ”1 had a weird dream last night. I dreamt our house was on fire and all my toys were destroyed.” Two hours later, Toby’s dad’s mobile phone rang. It was their next-door neigh­bour. “I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news, Carl. We don’t know how it started, but your house burnt down last night. The firemen did their best, but there’s not much left. At least no one was hurt.”

Liza and Christine were friends from school. Now in their thirties, they meet once or twice a year, usually at a restaurant in London. On one occasion, they were chatting about their days at school. “Do you remember Fiona Shaw?” asked Liza. “1 often think about her,” she said. “I wonder what happened to her.” A voice at the next table interrupted them. “Liza? Christine? I can’t believe it! It’s me. Fiona Shaw. Remember me?”
