As If By Magic - Ghost Story "As you can see from this tour this mansion is a bargain buy and you only need to make a few adjustments and it will be as good as new!" Said the Estate agent gesticulating widely with his hands. The estate agent was a tall man, who was smartly dressed in what appeared to be a tailor made suit. The estate agent had a white name tag that read Ian and he had a short, but pointed nose. He had smart squared glasses with a noticeable parting of his hair. Each side of his parting was gelled to his head. Ian took two other men round a corner into a room that was lacking light, a good paint job and anything that a room needs! All the elongated room had was a table with two chairs and a window which was single glazed with cob webs and dust that had looked like it had been collected over fifty years. The table was the main focus point as it was the only real thing in the room but as you walked in and you saw the room with its peeling paint and wallpaper and splatters of different colours of paint over the walls like the paint had been thrown over the walls. The room looked different from all of the other rooms in the house. One of the men, the taller one, then asked Ian, " why is the room different from the rest of the house?" The man that asked Ian was about 6ft 6, brown hair that was cropped with dark bushy eyebrows. He had light green eyes with a dominant cheek line. He seemed to be a self made man as he spoke with quite a northern accent and did not pronounce his t's like you would expect a rich, posh man to. He was wearing a black suit with a white shirt and a black tie. He looked like he was a local bouncer and 'if your name was not down you weren't going in.' "I'm sorry I did not quite catch

Life and death are leaves us with an known and unknown that are unavoidable. In the poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost symbolism, rhyme, and allusion are used to describe not only nature’s life cycle but the human life cycle as well. The allegory “Used to Live Here Once” by Jean Rhys uses symbolism and motif to deliver a story of a woman who has died but is unaware that she has actually passed away. Even though both of these pieces of literature utilize similar elements that symbolize the human life cycle in their writings they are very different in nature, and the poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay” leaves you with an actual reality of all beings lifecycles and the allegory leaves you with imagination only.

Paranormal activity better known as parapsychology is a non-fictional idea. Parapsychology is the scientific study of interactions between living organisms and their external environment that seem to transcend the known physical laws of nature. (Teresi, 2000) The Society of Psychical Research was established in London in 1882 (Teresi, 2000). Major parapsychological studies had not begun appearing in mainstream scientific journals until the sixties and early seventies (Teresi, 2000).“Furthermore, groups such as the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP) which publishes the Skeptical Inquirer and the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF) have been formed to disseminate credible information on the paranormal. Credibility should be less of a problem in the future” (Teresi, 2000).
