Now I know what GREY is...

Hello All,

So I have finally made it to Cambridge, England and I've gotten an internet connection in my office. I've mostly been setting up things and getting provisions for my dorm room. It has been rather dreary here since I've come, and there is a cold rain so as to keep me from exploring outside after work. My new place seems to be the only thing of interest right now...I have suspicions it is haunted. I've noticed that little things will move through out the day, not suprising since I have a maid who dusts and makes my bed. But, still...my shirt sometimes is made up different then I left it the night before; and I know the maid comes during the day.

When doing my laundry, I sometimes turn around and expect to see a persons face looking at me, but I never do. I always think it will be the Chaplin or his wife checking up on me. They live on the first floor of the 3 story house, but I've not seen any lights on or heard any noise from anywhere except the faint creeking of walls and clashing thunder...until last night. The fire alarm went off at 10 pm and I woke up startled. I had just fallen asleep. Annoyed I wandered over to the Porters house across the green, and they said something must have tripped it, and there was nothing to worry about.

Today, I went back to check on my laundry, and I heard a women's soft humming through the tiny, cramped walls. I looked around, down the dark stairs, and saw no one. I went outside to see if the Chaplin's light was on, there was nothing. So, I left, having changed over the laundry, and here I sit in my office, waiting for the next adventure.
