This could be just another case of a workman mislaying his tools but you'll have to decide that for yourself. The person who told me the tale of the mysterious case of the missing hammer is convinced that something supernatural happened.
It all started ordinarily enough, the chap putting up some trellis couldn't find the hammer he'd put down a few minutes earlier. He shrugged it off believing that the dog had picked up the hammer and run off with it, he simply found another to use. Of course he told the lady of the house that he thought her dog had taken the hammer, telling her she'd probably find it later in the garden somewhere. It was quite a distinctive hammer having been splattered with bright pink paint.
A few months later more work was being done in the garden, the Victorian crazy paving was being taken up, when low and behold a slab was lifted and there embedded in the ground, under the crazy paving was the missing hammer complete with splats of bright pink paint.
How did it get under crazy paving laid about 100 years before the hammer was lost?
Was this poltergeist activity? The lady of the house certainly thinks so. What do you think?
