Martin: OK! That’s the end of the class. Don’t forget your homework for tomorrow! Student A: Wow, 1 liked that ghost story! Do you think it’s true?

Student B: Oh, no, I don’t think so. It’s just in a book.

Student A: Let’s ask him. Do you believe in ghosts, Martin?

Martin: Oh, er... Well... I did have a strange experience once.

Student A: Really?

Martin: Yes... My grandmother has a big, old house near London... She was in the garden and my friend and I were in the living room and suddenly we heard a noise upstairs. It wasn’t a big noise. We thought maybe a mouse or something. Anyway, we went upstairs and... it seemed to be coming from my grandmother’s bedroom.

Students A and B: Did you go in?

Martin: Yes, we went inside and well, it was amazing really. All the furniture in my grandmother’s bedroom was on the left side of the room, and the carpet was on the other side of the room.

Students A and B: Oh!

Martin: And this furniture is really heavy — a very heavy wardrobe, a chest of drawers, a bed — these things would take four men to lift and it was really scary!

Students A and B: Wow!

Martin: And all we heard was a tiny noise... for no more than around a minute. My grandmother said it happened once before, too. The really strange thing is... she didn’t seem to mind!
