Ahhhh - but can you be totally sure of that Tezza???? :D:D:D:D:D The great aunt of a friend of mine used to be in service at the White Hart many, many years ago and she allegedly saw the figure of a woman (in period costume) crossing the bar area one night. This place was my first ever...

Thank you for the replies! The only info I have on the farm concerned is that it is (was) apparently to the West of Yardley Cemetery and just North of the Grand Union Canal. Nearby Mansfield Road was named after the family who owned / lived in the farm - two 20th Century occupants being Annie...

I'm looking for references to a Pinfield (or possibly Pinfold) Farm in Yardley?? Is the site still extant? Any help greatly appreciated. Regards, Nick www.westmidlandsghostclub.com

Hiya Tezza - to be honest, we tend to stick to the Midlands area re. our investigations. We visited Borley a good few years ago and were lucky enough to get inside the church for a look-around. As for the rectory site, it's nothing to write home about to be honest mate, as the place is mainly...

Hi Tezza, Chris isn't a member of the W.M.G.C. mate - he is one of the guides on the Shrewsbury Ghost Walk and we'd never met him prior to our arrival at the hotel on that night. As possibly mentioned previously, we don't go in for 'psychic impressions' on our investigations, though - as such...

Thanks Tezza - glad to see that you're still here with us!!!! I know it's not Brum, but here's our notes from the investigation at Shrewsbury from last Friday (below), in case you were interested. All the best, Nick www.westmidlandsghostclub.com Investigation Notes: The Prince Rupert Hotel...

Hi All, Re. the articles, we've recently launched a big press appeal for fresh cases to celebrate our 20th year of messing around in scary places!!:D Quite a few papers around the Midlands have carried articles about us in the last week, or placed an appeal in their letter pages........ I...

Has anyone ever heard of a ghostly, crying woman haunting the area around Swanshurst Park, near Kings Heath at all? I came across a fairly obscure reference to the matter the other day, but couldn't locate any pertinent information on the subject anywhere else....... Any help would be...

Hi Big Gee, Someone gave me In A Glass Darkly by Le Fanu about 15 years ago as a Christmas present, but I've never actually got round to reading it, to be honest!! (Nick sheepishly looks embarrassed!!!) :shocked: I will have a look to see if I've got the tale you mention somewhere...

Sorry about that Tezza!!!:D:D:D:D:D Re. Crooked House - yes, I did see all three episodes and must admit that I wasn't particularly impressed to be honest...... I like the chappy who wrote these episodes (and took a part in them, of course), but I don't much fancy his ghost story writing, it...

Hi Tezza!! Re. your post - I've got an 11 year old daughter who has been asking some pretty worried questions about the existence of Santa lately!!:D:D She's got to that age now where all this talk of 'chubby, magical blokes in red suits squeezing down the chimney' is getting a little too far...

I'm afraid that the Angels of Mons story has pretty much been proven to be fiction, to be honest Tezza. See the following page for one explanation of how this tale got about, etc: https://www.aftermathww1.com/legend.asp Best wishes mate, Nick www.westmidlandsghostclub.com

Hi Tezza, Re. 'overly-tall' ghosts.... this has been a pet interest of mine for some years, I must admit. I'm totally intrigued by the notion that such things are - while adhering to the human form - frequently much too large to have ever been human 'in life'. (For wont of a better term)...

Regarding that ghost story Tezza - how about this? It's part of a report of our investigation of the Assembly Rooms in Tamworth from Halloween night..... Please let me know what you think folks?? "Session 4 – 12.24 am to 1.00 am: Steve and Nick situated in front row seating of auditorium...

Hi Tezza / Big Gee: I've heard a slight rumour about Doctors Piece, but personally believe that it's just one of those stories you will invariably find associated with such things as a mass burial site (or any graveyard, come to that). One Midlands group did indeed investigate this site, but...

Re. the above - indeed Tezza.... but what did you expect form the West Midlands Ghost Club mate????:D:D:D:D:D A whole cast of apparitions could have appeared in front of us and slapped our faces.... and we'd have only probably reported the event as 'intriguing' at best!!:D We're due for a...

Thanks for that Tali!!!! I did see a rather naff article about this matter in the Metro, but the article you've posted up is way better !!! Cheers !!! We had an interesting investigation on Halloween night..... I've included the report below for your perusal: Investigation Report: The...

Tezza - for someone who hasn't been a paranormal researcher (as such) you've led a bl**dy interesting life mate, with oodles of ghostly / potentially spooky connections!!! I've been looking for such a link all of my life and really experienced nothing, so this just bears out our previous...

Tezza - I don't know if you ever saw it, but there was a previous Brum Ghosts post that I started which also ran very well. Unfortunately - for some reason - it vanished without trace after a period of inactivity!?! Nothing paranormal though, I'm sure!!??:D:D:D Come on people - keep this...

The place that Conna has mentioned is a well haunted spot, allegedly. It's been known in the Willenhall area as such for many, many years now and - if researched properly - could make an admirable case study indeed. Over the years, I've had a considerable number of stories told to me regarding...
