Honeystreet_Haunts

<t>This will sound like me drumming up business for the walks and I promise you it is not, I am genuinely shaken writing it. Somebody got into my lock-up on the industrial units over the weekend. Forced the door. And here is the thing, they didnt take the tools, they didnt take the gear that is wort...

<t>New one for the walk, had it off a chap in the pub so the usual pinch of salt. The crossroads out past the old chalk pit, a woman in grey standing like she is waiting for a lift that never comes, gone when you glance back. Classic stuff, the crossroads, the waiting woman, you get a version every ...

That is exactly it Geoff, the wind. Everything else I could talk myself round, a knackered battery, a full card, me knocking the recorder with my boot. But the wind stopping and the clock not missing a beat, thats the bit I keep coming back to. I sent the file off to a chap who does proper audio for...

<t>For the recordists among us. We did an overnight in a barn out past the estate boundary for the walk, the kind of empty stone barn that is all owls and draughts, and I left a recorder running on the straw while we were outside. Got the file back and there is a stretch, about forty minutes in, whe...

<t>Margaret has the old shape of it right. For the walk I collected three A4 versions: the grey woman near the Beckhampton turn, a coachman with no face on the long straight, and the one Gary half has, a man who asks for a lift to a village and is gone before you can ask which village. That last one...

<t>Mark, that last line is the most honest thing youve posted on this board. Nobody really puts their pint on the well. Believer or sceptic, everybody moves it. That is the thing about the Red Lion: the argument does not matter once youre standing in the bar, because the room makes believers of scep...

<t>The big one, and I am surprised it has not come up yet. The Red Lion at Avebury is the only pub in the world inside a stone circle, and it is reckoned one of the most haunted in Britain, four ghosts at the least. The famous one is Florrie. The story goes she was the landlord's wife during the Civ...

<t>The dog detail is gold, Pat, thank you, and it is the genuine article precisely because you are not trying to sell me anything. The animals refusing a spot comes up again and again in the old accounts and it is always the bit that gives me the proper chill, because a dog has no investment in a gh...

Honeystreet_Haunts

<t>Plug for my own patch, but a genuine question too. I run the ghost walks out of Honeystreet and the Barge is the jewel: canalside, crop-circle central, and properly haunted into the bargain. The stories: a drowned bargeman seen on the towpath, footsteps in the empty skittle alley, a cold corner i...

<t>Evening all. Mick, I run the ghost walks out of Honeystreet, Wiltshire Paranormal, investigating the vale since 2009 and only slightly tongue in cheek. Cold spots, EVP, the Barge Inn, all the fun of the fair. I know the sceptics will have a field day and honestly half the time so do I. But now an...
