But when it
happened again on the following Sunday morning, same scenario with the boy
looking into the birdcage then walking towards the window, only to disappear,
the couple then took it seriously. This sighting began to worry the couple so
the following Sunday, they stayed up, playing cards so if it were to happen a
third time, they would both be witnesses.
The couple
had spent many hours, trying to find out if a young boy had passed away in the
property and found the street that they lived in, had been bombed in WWII and 3
people had died. Unfortunately, no names or address had been given in that
report.
In the
following week, the newspaper had been contacted by a local woman, who did not
wish to be named. She said that the young boy ghost had been her mother’s
nephew. His name was Jacky Pascoe and he had passed away in 1917. His family
had lived in the property and her mother recalled how Jacky had fair hair and
that he was really interested in birds, so she said it was no surprise that the
ghost boy was witnessed, on both occasions, looking into the birdcage. She said
that James and Gloria shouldn’t be afraid as little Jacky had been a very sweet
boy. The anonymous woman said that Jacky’s parents had emigrated to Detroit
after the young boy’s death.
A vicar had
been contacted by the Wills and he had reassured them that they did not need
any sort of exorcism as the ghost was not a threat.
