I've been on two ghost walks and watched every episode of Most Haunted, haven't seen anything yet
My brother saw a 'woman on the landing' at my parents house when he was a kid. She was dressed in older clothing, probably 1900-1910 from what he described. But again, he was about 8 years old and it happened when he had woken up. Plus the house wasn't built until the 1930's, even if people did live in the area.
