The mischievous spirit that shared a cottage with Larry, a local photographer definitely had a sense of humour, and a fetish for hand towels which it would always drop in the bath.

"Almost everyday I would go into the bathroom and the towel will be lying in the bath again. It really was quite creepy ," Larry recalled. "One day I left the bathroom while the bath water was running and when i came back, the towel was floating in the bath. There was absolutely no way it could have fallen in on its own accord"

"There was a definite presence in the bathroom and visitors to the house often remarked on it. It was a very cold house and I always had to have fire going, even in the middle of the dry season - BUT THE BATHROOM WILL NEVER GET WARM," Larry remarked.

Larry's dog hated the house and never set foot in it. Soon Larry was convinced that a poltergeist shared the cottage with him since it was also noisy enough and liked to rattle pots and pans around the stove.

Larry had enough, called in the help of a priest, but the haunting still lingered.
