I have a strange story to tell regarding this,when i was a Kid freinds of my Parents bought a Cottage in a place called Penshurst which is a tiny Village some 40 miles from home and they let us use it for a week.
The cottage was near a River so i was excited at the prospect of Fishing for some Trout,anyway to cut to the quick,when we arrived at the Cottage i did'nt go into the Cottage as i wanted to do some Fishing so off i went.
Meanwhile my Parents and three Sisters went in to unpack etc,when i returned from Fishing in the River which was only 300 yards away my Sister said that she was not looking forward to sleeping in a room without a window and i replied "of course there is a window in every room."
This Cottage was built in the 14th century and was surrounded by Hop fields so you would be hard pressed to find it,anyway i told my Sister to come with me upstairs to the room with no window and i went straight in and tried to move a walldrobe and between the two of us we manages it,behind the walldrobe there was a large cloth almost like a curtain which i pulled aside revealing a door
i opened the door and inside was a very old bed and lots of cobwebs.
Obviously the first thing you would think is i just used common sense to work out that there was a door hidden behind the walldrobe except that was'nt the only thing to happen,i somehow knew the area very well,i knew my way to the nearest neighbour,the Manor house,all the old Pubs,i knew shortcuts through the woods and it was like i'd been there before.
I don't really believe in reincarnation but it was a weird feeling and even the Gamekeeper whom i met whilst in the woods could'nt believe i knew my way through the Woods and Hop fields so well,i'll never forget that summer or the Cottage,it was like constant Deja vous.
