Hmm Hmm

When we lived in our old (17th century ) house and Alf was small, his bedroom was lovely with lots of stripped back wood panelling and a wig room.

He used to tell us about a mysterious figure that he used to see called ‘Hmm Hmm’, he never seemed scared of ‘Hmm Hmm’ but seemed to see him ( it ) quite a lot.

He never told us what ‘Hmm Hmm’ looked like but one day whilst waking past a shop window, he pointed at a headless mannequin and said ‘it’s Hmm Hmm’ to say a shiver ran down our spines would be an understatement ! We found out later that the house was built in the grounds on an old priory and there was supposedly a ghostly monk in the room under his bedroom.
