Please Help With A 30yr Old Problem!

Hi everyone, many years ago, when I was a kid, I used to stay with my Gran at weekends and she would let me stay up late to watch horror films. There are 2 films that I'm trying to rediscover from my childhood which scared the crap outta me, the 1st had 3 little demons that lived in a fireplace in a cellar, I now know this to be Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark (1973 American TV Movie) But the other film/episode was (I think) British. Now forgive me if I get several movies mixed up here, it was a long time ago, I think it started with a farmer ploughing a field & he finds something in the soil, when he picks it up it looks like an old finger (or something) The next part I remember is a woman at the top of the stairs and when she puts her hand on the bannister she has claws!
Does any of this ring any bells? This frightened me silly but the worst thing happened the next night., after Sunday lunch my gran always put the leftovers out in the garden for the birds (we had to try to keep our dog, Major, indoors to stop him eating the chicken carcass but he usually got out!) Anyway later that night I was going to bed, with the film still on my mind, when I noticed something on my bed... To my horror it was the finger from the beginning of the movie!! I froze, I got goosebumps all over and my eyes nearly popped outta my head! I just stood staring at the 'finger' terrified!! Then, after what seemed ages, I noticed that it wasn't actually a finger at all but . . . . a chicken wing!! My dog Major got the blame but he never confessed strangely!
PS. That was all TRUE, I swear!
Thanks for any comments,
Steve.
