My family and I had only recently moved to our new home in Sycamore Court on the council estate, Bargoed, Wales, UK.   We had a new family pet, a Jack Russell I called Laddie.

It was the Summer of 1978, I was just 9 years old, living with my mother and my maternal grandparents.

One day, my mother and my grandmother decided to take Laddie out for a walk, I was upstairs in the main bedroom with my grandfather, the bedroom door was wide open.  It was all calm and quiet when all of a sudden my grandfather and I heard distinct scratching sounds on the inside of the bathroom door clearly! 

It went on for just a short while, when it suddenly stopped we checked it out, thinking that our dog Laddie was really inside, but we saw nothing, only scratch marks on the door, this left me and my grandfather somewhat curious.

My mother and grandmother came back with the dog and we told them what had happened, not sure if they believed us  

That was the only incident that occurred, there was no more after that and we stayed there for a few more years without incidents.
