Council house “ghost” terrifies family.
A Kirkcaldy family are convinced their council house at Oaktree Square is haunted. They say footsteps have sounded on a stairway… windows have opened mysteriously… drawers have been whisked open… and a tail-wagging collie dog has been reduced to a cowering hang-dog. Yesterday the father, 37-year-old sea-coal merchant, Mr James Forsyth, went to the police for help.
He told the “Courier” – “I can’t sleep at night, so I’m unable to work during the day.” He said he is going to refuse to pay his rent until a council official or a member of the Town Council spends a night in the house. Mr Forsyth has lived with his wife Ida and children at 17 Oaktree Square for 18 months. The couple have nine children – Elizabeth (15), Georgette (14), Janet (13), Sandra (11), Ruth (9), Teddy (7), Corinne (5), James (2), and Lorraine (nine months).
Mr Forsyth said – “The awful noises started in February this year. We started to hear footsteps four or five at a time on the landing upstairs between two bedroom doors. After that, drawers which were closed started to jump open for no apparent reason, and windows which I had secured suddenly opened. I tried various things to change the path of the ghost – it must be a ghost – but it got noiser and th esounds are now reaching a crescendo.”
On Sunday night Mr Archibald McIlhatton (39) of 58 Veronica Crescent, a self-described “douting Thomas,” went to the Forsyth house to spend the night after hearing about the occurrences. He did not know the Forsyth family until then. He said yesterday – “During the night I heard six bumps like the sound of a walking stick and then there were the noises of a scuffle on the stairs as if a fight was going on between two men. I decided I had had enough, so I went home taking four of the Forsyth children with me. Fourteen-year-old Georgette was stiff with fright and won’t go back to the house. She must have had an awful fright, because she is speaking with a stammer now.”
The Forsyth home was built 11 years ago, and there is no history of any unusual occurence in it. According to Mr Forsyth, who has been to see a spiritualist about the matter, the occurences have been attributed to a suicide spirit trapped in the house.

The ‘ghost’ house children must stay.
Seven children who scream with fright at the thought of sleeping in their own house were refused admission to a children’s home yesterday. The children, whose home is the haunted house in Oak Tree Square, Kirkcaldy, were taken by their parents to the town council children’s department. An hour later, their request for [?] refuge turned down, they returned to No. 17 Oak Tree Squre. Tiredly clutching each other’s hands the children waited outside while their father went into the house and made sure the GHOST was not there. Their father, 37-year-old sea coal merchant, Mr James Forsyth, said: “The kids simply refuse to sleep here. It takes us all our time to get them to stay in daylight. Last night they stayed with friends throughout Kirkcaldy, but that can’t go on for ever. I am to sign a house transfer form tomorrow, and thought the town council would look after the children just for tonight.”
Acting children’s officer, Miss I Cuthbert said: “I was told to turn down the request. The housing factor stayed all last night in the house and he said there was no proof of any ghost.” Kirkcaldy town clerk, Mr Charles D Chapman, said later: “Miss Cuthbert brought the Forsyth case to my notice, but I gave her no instructions. It is a matter for the children’s department.”
At 17 Oak Tree Square, Mrs Forsyth, 35-year-old mother of nine children, the oldest 15 and the youngest 9 months, sat huddled in her coat she never takes off (“I don’t know when I’ll have to run from here”) and sobbed: “I wish I’d never seen this house. I can’t stand it any longer.” As she spoke her doctor paid a special visit and prescribed sedatives for her.
But just over a mile away in the downstairs flat at 54 Laurel Crescent, Kirkcaldy, the Jankowski family chatted gaily about their planned move to the haunted house. “The move will be a good one for us,” said 52-year-old Marcel Jankowski the Polish builder who has volunteered to switch with the Forsyths. “We shall be moving into a cottage-type house out of a flat. But before I sign any papers tomorrow I want a ‘ghost’ clause in my missive. I don’t believe in ghosts and things like that. But I want a clause in black and white that if there are any strange occurrences in the Oak Tree Square house I will get a transfer.” The Jankowskis have three of a family – Muriel, 24, Harry 15, and Margaret, 10.
Last night Kirkcaldy house management committee convened. Mr Cyril Niven said: “Under the circumstances I think such a request is reasonable.” Last night, Mr Jankowski returned to spend his second night in the Oak Tree Square house. And Constable Dave Williams of Kirkcaldy said: “I will volunteer to stay in the house all night by myself. If there is anything in the house that opens doors, pulls drawers along the floor and makes the sound of footsteps, I guarantee to catch it.
Mrs Mary Kidd, the spiritualist who formerly lived at No. 17, said last night: “I was in the house for only six months, but there was never anything untoward while I was there. I never held seances in No 17, although I have held several here in Leslie where I stay now. By the sounds of this presence in the Forsyth’s house, it is a visitor from the other world. I suggest that if they sit down quietly and pray it will go away or make its intentions clear. It appears to be some spirit wanting to get in touch with someone in the Forsyth family.”

Ghost house man turns down swop.
Mr James Forsyth, 37-year-old Kirkcaldy seacoal merchant who thinks his house is haunted, yesterday turned down an exchange of house. He visited the corporation factor’s office yesterday afternoon, and when the factor approved the exchante his troubles seemed to be over. He examined the house at 54 Laurel Crescent, occupied by Mr Marcel Jankowsky, but decided he didn’t like the look of the long, dark lobby.
He told a ‘Courier’ reporter, “I had to call the deal off. I would not have been able to work if I had taken the house. My wife would be too frightened to stay in the house alone, especially in the winter.”
On Tuesday night 40 teenagers gathered outside the house. Some waited nearly all night. Mr Forsyth, worn out by his vigil, which had lasted five days and five nights, fell asleep in a chair at a sister’s house, where he had taken four of his children for the night. As neighbours began to complain they were unable to sleep because of the noise the crowds had made, fresh attempts were made to clear the question up.
An evangelist from Kinghorn called in the evening, and spent 30 minutes with the family. Two mediums were expected to arrive about midnight to see if they could contact the spirit.

All quiet, now ghost is gone.
The ghost which has haunted the Forsyth family in their five-roomed council house at 17 Oaktree Square, Kirkcaldy, is now just a memory to them. Last night, for the first time in nearly a week, Mr James Forsyth, the 37-year-old tenant and father of nine children, was able to go to bed confident of a peaceful night. For early yesterday he said with a smile of relief he was convinced the spirit had been lured from th ehouse. He told a “Courier” reporter – “The house is clear now, I can feel the difference.” His collie dog Silver, which had been frightened to go upstairs when the ghost was in the house, ran around sniffing in every corner. When it came downstairs again its tail was wagging.
Mr Forsyth was convinced the ghost had gone after two mediums called and confirmed his feeling that the house was clear. Seventy-one-year-old Miss Ellen Stevenson, of Coldwell Wynd, who is secretary of Kirkcaldy National Spiritualist Church, went no further than the doorway before announcing – “The house is free.” Later she said – “My friend Miss Livingstone, who is president of the church and who stayed outside, said the same.”
Evangelists from Kinghorn blessed the house on Wednesday evening. “When they went they showed me an old-fashioned lamp I had never seen before. They told me it must have been left by a previous tenant, and contined the spirit. They took it away,” said Mr Forsyth.
Neighbours are thankful it is all over. The stream of sightseers each night this week has kept them awake.

The Ghost of Oaktree Square. A new mystery.
The ghost which haunts the five-apartment Corporation house at 17 Oaktree Square, Kirkcaldy, has not yet been laid. At least, the tenant, 37-year-old James Forsyth, does not think so. On Thursday, Mr Forsyth said he thought the house was “clear”. Yesterday, however, he was not so sure, and while he was talking to a “Fife Free Press” reporter in the living room, he received a rude shock which shattered all his hopes.
His 12-year-old daughter, Janet, who had gone upstairs to the bathroom, came rushing down to tell her father that furniture in the main bedroom had been moved. Mr Forsyth, accompanied by his daughter and the reporter, went up to the front room and found that a wardrobe, which normally stands diagonally in a corner and is at present empty, had been moved about two feet from the wall, a wicker chair had been moved from the opposite corner to a position in front of the window, and the window itself was open. Janet said she had noticed the family’s pet dog, Silver, a Cheviot collie, going into the room. When she followed, she found the furniture had been moved and the window was open.
Mr Forsyth said: “Everything was in order when I was up here early this morning. The wardrobe and the chair were in their usual places, and the window was shut. The door was also shut when I went downstairs. No one has been upstairs until Janet came up a few minutes ago. Last night, three other men and I sat up and we heard absolutely nothing. I brought Silver upstairs at 2.30 a.m. and everything was all right then. Silver won’t come up here if the spirit is around.”
Mr Forsyth added that this was the first time the furniture had been moved in this way. Up to then, the manifestations had been of a purely aural character – footsteps, tapping of a stick, opening and closing of drawers, and scuffling as if a fight were in progress.
Earlier, Mr Forsyth agreed that when spiritualists visited the house on Wednesday night they detected nothing untoward. “I could have told them the spirit wasn’t there then,” he said. “It has sometimes gone away for four or five days, and then come back again.” The last time that ghostly noises were heard in the house was Sunday night. Apart from Tuesday night, when the house was empty and locked up, several people had kept vigil with Mr Forsyth each night.
Mrs Forsyth, with three of her children, has been sleeping at the home of her sister, Mrs Jessie Ewing, 222 Lismore Avenue, this week. She refuses to spend another night in her own home, and Mr Forsyth’s efforts to get another Corporation house are continuing. Four children remain at Oaktree Square with their father, and two others are residing with a friend in Overton Road.
Earlier in the week, Mr John Lees, Burgh Factor, approved an exchange of houses by Mr Forsyth and Mr Marcel Jankowski, who occupies a five-apartment flat at 54 Laurel Crescent. After viewing the flat, however, Mr Forsyth turned down the exchange. He said: “There is a long dark lobby in the house and my wife would be frightened every time I went out to work, especially in the winter.” Mr Forsyth has been unable to follow his occupation as a seacoal merchant for about a month because of the upheaval in his domestic affairs.
He feels that it would help him if he could have a talk with Mrs William Neil, a well-known Edinburgh spiritualist, who visited the house on Monday night and is said to have detected the presence of a spirit. “After she had been here,” he said, “I felt differently somehow, I was able to get some sleep and to take food. If I could only see her again, I think she might help me with some of my problems.”

Kirkcaldy ghost again.
Kirkcaldy’s haunted house may not have been cleared of its ghost after all. Mr James Forsyth, the 37-year-old tenant, said yesterday he thought the ghost might have been active again. During the morning his 12-year-old daughter Janet rushed downstairs and told her father furniture in the main bedroom had been moved. Mr Forsyth found the wardrobe had been moved two feet from the wall. A wicker chair had been shifted from one side of the room to sit in front of a window, which had been opened.
Mr Forsyth said: “Last night three other men and I sat up, but we heard nothing. I took Silver, the dog, upstairs at 2.30 a.m., and everything was all right then. The dog will not go upstairs if the spirit is about.”
It was the first time furniture had been moved in that way. Before only sounds had troubled them. Four children have been living at Oaktree Square with their father for the last three nights. Mrs Forsyth, who has refused to sleep in the house, has been sleeping with three of her children at the home of a sister, MRs Jessie Ewing, 222 Lismore Avenue. The two other children have been living with a friend in Overton Road.

Exit the ghost of Oaktree Square
But Mrs Forsyth isn’t convinced.
Kirkcaldy people have been either thrilled or amused this week by the stories of the Oaktree Square ghost: thrilled if they still believed in such phenomena in the twentieth century; amused if they thought such a thing just couldn’t happen. But neither thrilled nor amused were Mr and Mrs James Forsyth and their nine children – seven daughters and two sons all under 15 – whose five-apartment cottage at 17 Oaktree Square, Smeaton, has been the Mecca of spiritualists, hauntings investigators, a lay preacher and a band of evangelists. They were just plain terrified. But yesterday, however, the spell of the evil spirit was beginning to wear off.
Mr Forsyth, a 37-year-old sea coal merchant, had become convinced that whatever caused the footsteps in the night, shuffled on the stairs, opened windows, switched on lights and almost scared the family dog out of its wits had gone. “There is a different feeling about the house since all these people started coming,” said Mr Forsyth. “I think the ghost has been scared away.”
Not so sure about that was his 35-year-old wife Ida. “It will be a long time before I will be able to sleep in this house again,” she said. “I’ll never forget the fright we have had.” The trouble all started away back in February when Mrs Forsyth heard four footsteps going across the floor of an upstairs bedroom when there was nobody around to make the noise. “I laughed about it at first,” said Mr Forsyth. But it wasn’t long before he, too, began to hear things go bump in the night. “The four footsteps in the bedroom stopped – and there would be five along the upstairs landing,” he said. “I stepped it out myself and there were just five normal steps from one bedroom door to the other.” From then on the matter became progressively worse.
Mr Forsyth even set traps for the ghost. “But that only made it worse,” he said. “I made the upstairs landing an obstacle course and the noises stopped for a while. Then when they came back they were worse than ever. Sometimes we would hear one of the children whimper while asleep. When we went through they would all be lying asleep, rosy-cheeked and healthy – except one. And it was always a different one.”
The ghost-hunting really began in earnest at the week-end. Mrs Forsyth and five of the children went to sleep with neighbours and Mr Archibald McIlhatton, 58 Veronica Crescent, joined Mr Forsyth and the other children in the all-night vigil. Said Mr McIlhatton: “About two o’clock in the morning I got a cold shiver up my back and then there were three knocks on the ceiling above the living room. That was followed by six taps, just like somebody’s walking stick. A few minutes later there was a noise from upstairs just like a drawer being pulled open and then dragged across the floor.” Mr McIlhatton took the children round to his house – and while he was away Mr Forsyth heard the scuffling noise upstairs approaching. “I picked up the fireside shovel and was just ready to lash out when the noise stopped.,” he said.
Monday night brought swarms of reporters and photographers, Burgh Factor Mr John Lees, Councillor James Barrons and hauntings investigator Mrs Margaret Neil from Edinburgh. But the ghost made no appearance. Wednesday saw lay preacher Mr Robert Milne, his wife Hope and a band of followers go from room to room praying for the spirit to be driven out. “Before they left they brought an old lamp-shade downstairs and said this was the cause of the trouble,” said Mr Forsyth. “Right enough, the lamp-shade looked like one left by the previous tenant who went in for spiritualism. I thought there might be some connection.” But Mrs Forsyth soon dispelled that theory. “The lampshade was an old one given me by a neighbour not very long ago,” she said.
By Thursday, Mr Forsyth was quite convinced that his troubles were over…. although just how it had come about he wasn’t certain. “I think it was Mrs Neil who did the trick,” he said.
Hundreds of people gathered and gawked outside the house after the story appeared in the newspapers, and on Tuesday evening a police van toured the square dispersing the crowds. But they gathered again in a few minutes. “Where can we get the keys for the haunted house,” asked one young woman who had brought a party of friends along. “We must get in,” another told a photographer. “My friend has brought along a cage to catch the spirit.”
Least concerned about ghosts and evil spirits of ll the people concerned was 52-year-old Polish-born Marcel Jankowski, who was prepared to exchange his flat in Laurel Crescent for the haunted house. “There is nothing here,” he said after spending Monday night in the house. But just to make sure he was insisting on a “ghost” clause in his missive for the cottage if the exchange had gone through. It never got that length, however. After everything had been arranged – except the Town Council’s sanction to the “ghost” clause – Mrs Forsyth went to see Mr Jankowski’s flat, took one look and turned it down. “I could never live in a house with a long, dark lobby like that,” she said.

Did a broom make ghost noises?
Mr James Forsyth, the 37-year-old tenant, still believes the house at 17 Oaktree Square, Kirkcaldy, is haunted, in spite of possible explanations offered. Theories have been put forward for the recent mysterious movements of the furniture and for the noises which sparked off the ghostly train of thought in Mr Forsyth’s mind.
One of the evangelists who blessed the house on Wednesday evening, Mrs Hope Mullin, Townhead, Kinghorn, said on Saturday: “We moved the furniture when we were there. The wardrobe was pulled out from the wall, a chair was moved to get at a light, and my husband opened the window.” She said the lamp they found in a cupboard, and thought was the contact with the spirit, had been thrown on a dump.
The theory of the cause of the sounds is that somebody has tapped the ceiling of a close between the Forsyth house and the house next door. This close passes under one of the bedrooms. The theory is supported by the fact that burgh workmen were called in during the week to repair the cracked ceiling. An official at the Town House said on Saturday: “The ceiling was repaired because it was thought to be dangerous. It may have been pressure from the adjoining walls that caused the damage, but there were marks on the ceiling which may have been caused by a rake or a broomhead.” When this theory was put to Mr Forsyth, he refused to believe it. “That doesn’t convince me, I need proof.”
Since the ghost made news at the beginning of last week, Mr Forsyth has received letters from all over the country. Most advise him to get out of the house. Some disagree with the observations of the spiritualists and evangelists who have called. Others contain coloured cards depicting religious scenes, and advising him to pray that the spirit will depart. Mr Forsyth agrees with the correspondents who advise him to move. “We’ll never be free of this thing so long as we live in this house.” The Forsyths have turned down one swop, but may get another chance. A corporation official said on Saturday: “If we hear of anyone in the town willing to swop with Mr Forsyth, we will get in touch with him.”

Kirkcaldy ghost? “Stuff and nonsense” – M.P.
But the Forsyth family think otherwise.
Complete disbelief in the “ghost” said to haunt the five-apartment municipal house at 17 Oaktree Square, Kirkcaldy, was expressed by Mr Tom Hubbard, M.P. for Kirkcaldy Burghs, yesterday. Mr Hubbard, who had spent the previous night in the house, which is occupied by Mr James Forsyth, 37-year-old sea coal merchant, his wife, and nine children of 15 years and under, alleged: “It is absolute stuff and nonsense and there doesn’t seem to be a shred of truth about it at all. Nothing at all happened during my stay.”
Mr Hubbard, who said he had been in the house from 11 p.m. on thursday night to 4.30 a.m. yesterday morning, spent time alone in an upstairs room reputed to be haunted. But his vigil passed without incident. He also stated: “I am mainly worried about the children because of all the talk they have heard about ghosts. They are nice little kiddies and they cannot possibly grow up in these conditions with this creation of fear before they go to bed.”
Told of Mr Hubbard’s reaction, Mr and Mrs Forsyth declared yesterday afternoon: “We definitely deny that it is ‘stuff and nonsense.’ We will give anybody the chance to come in here and spend the night, and we defy anybody to say that it is ‘stuff and nonsense.’ Mr Forsyth added: “Mr Hubbard heard nothing, but there was running up and down all night, so how could we expect to hear anything unusual?” After mentioning that there were three independent witnesses who claimed they had heard mysterious noises in the house, Mr Forsyth remarked: “Despite what is said, I know what I have heard and you must experience it to believe it.” He went on to say: “For what reason would anybody put together such a story from one point to another? Can anybody tell me that?”
In further statements, Mr Forsyth expressed his concern about the children and their health and said he was out to do all he could for them. The Forsyth family moved back into the house on Tuesday after having spent ten days with friends and neighbours. Following their return, Mr Forsyth claimed that they had heard taps from an upstairs room “but we couldn’t define what they were.”

“Haunted House” Tenant Receives Notice to Quit.
Alleged to be £16 in arrears of rent.
Mr James Forsyth, tenant of Kirkcaldy’s “haunted house” at 17 Oak Tree Square, has been served with an eviction notice by the Town Council. He is alleged to be in arrears of rent to the extent of £16. Earlier in the month, Mr Forsyth declared he would not pay another penny in rent until he was given another house. He claimed that his present home was subject to manifestations, strange noises and other queer occurrences, and so he asked the Burgh Housing Factor, Mr John Lees, for an exchange of house. Although Mr Lees did not hear anything unusual when he spent a night in the house, he agreed that if Mr Forsyth found another tenant willing to exchange houses the transfer would be approved.
Later the Forsyth family were offered a house in Sycamore Avenue but turned it down. Last Thursday, Mr Tom Hubbard, M.P. for Kirkcaldy Burghs, stayed overnight in the house and declared the “ghost story” was nonsense.
The Forsyth parents have since been warned by the education authorities that their six children of school age must attend school
The eviction notice to quit was served on Thursday.
At her home on Thursday, Mrs Forsyth said that she and her husband had gone to the Housing Factor and told him they would pay the arrears as soon as possible if they were given another house. “We were informed instead that the Council had decided to go ahead and bring an eviction action into Court. It is due to be heard on October 1.” Mrs Forsyth went on to say that her husband, a sea coal merchant, had not been working because the house was haunted. If they got another house he would be able to return to his work and they would have the arrears of rent paid off very quickly.

‘Haunted’ children must go to school.
“Not fit” say parents.
Sea-coal merchant Mr James Forsyth – the tenant of Kirkcaldy’s haunted house in Oaktree Square – was warned by Fife Education Authority this week: “Send your children to school or you will be prosecuted.” Mr and Mrs Forsyth, who claim that their five-apartment cottage has been haunted by an evil spirit for the past seven months, have six children of school age. And they blame the ghost for the absence of the children.
“How can we send them to school when they have to get tablets to make them go to sleep,” asked Mr Forsyth. “They are so terrified that they cannot sleep without getting tablets and when they get up in the morning they are in no condition to go to school.”
The letter from the Education Authority said the children would have to attend school or produce medical certificates covering their absences. But the Forsyth family doctor has refused to give medical certificates. “He says he will provide information if the Education Authority gets in touch with him,” said Mr Forsyth. Following the arrival of the letter, the children have been to school. Mr Forsyth’s 35-year-old wife Ida said: “The children are really keen on school. It’s just that they aren’t fit.”

New house for ‘haunted’ family.
Mr James Forsyth, tenant of Kirkcaldy’s “ghost house,” will go to the Burgh Factor’s office today to sign the missive for a new home. Mr Forsyth, 37-year-old seacoal merchant, his wife, seven daughters and two sons, hope to move this week-end from their municipal house, 17 Oaktree Square, to their new home at Wright Place.
Mr Forsyth said yesterday: “We have cleared off our £13 of rent arrears. Some friends very kindly loaned us the money to put our financial position right with the council and enable the exchange to go through.”
Mr Forsyth says they are still being haunted by strange sounds in the night. The linoleum in the upstairs bedrooms has been lifted, preparatory to moving on Saturday, and Mr Forsyth says the latest mysterious footsteps have taken on the sound of a person walking on bare wooden boards.
Mr Forsyth has another problem. Unable to sleep by night and consequently unable to work by day, he has fallen into arrears with payments for the van he uses for his seacoal business. Now the firm have told him to return the vehicle by this week-end.

New Tenant for “Haunted” House.
Forsyth family move out.
Mr and Mrs James Forsyth, who claim that their 5-apartment Corporation house at 17 Oaktree Square Kirkcaldy, is haunted, are moving to their new home this weekend, with their nine children. They have arranged an exchange with Mr and Mrs Alex Dewar, who occupy a 5-appartment ground-floor flat at 11 Wright Place. The Dewars, who have three girls and a boy – their ages range from 2 1/2 to 17 years – are not perturbed in any way by all that they have heard about their new home. It was they, in fact, who approached the Forsyths in regard to an exchange, on seeing an advertisement inserted by Mr Forsyth in a local newspaper. The exchange of houses will be effected immediately after the missives have been signed in the burgh factor’s office today.
An action to evict the Forsyths was dropped by Kirkcaldy Town Council this week, on payment of over £13 in respect of rent arrears. Mr Forsyth said that the money had been loaned by friends to ensable the exchange of houses to go through.
Another problem now confronts Mr Forsyth. Being unable to work for some time owing to loss of sleep, he has fallen into arrears with payments for the van he uses in connection with his seacoal business. He has been told to return the van by this weekend.

Cistern was Kirkcaldy “ghost” – say new tenants.
A theory has been advanced for the “ghost” which “haunted” No. 17 Oak Tree Square, Kirkcaldy. The mysterious noises in the night heard by Mr and Mrs James Forsyth and their nine children were caused by a faulty cistern in the bathroom. Mr and Mrs Alex Dewar, the new tenants, say the whole thing has been “an absolute farce.” Said Mrs Dewar: “The cistern in the bathroom needs repairs, and it sometimes makes weird noises. There’s also a dripping tap in the bathroom which echoes round the house when everything else is quiet.”
