When i was about 5 our neighbour friends that were much older than me told me that if there is a little bit of shiny light on anything metal then there is a ghost in the room. We had a t chest in the room that night with the metal beading down the side that was reflecting the light from the lamppost outside and shining..I was sooo scared I had to go sleep in with my mum..ahhh bless
