Hi Conna - welcome to the Brum Ghost thread mate !! ;) TizzyKat - you sound the 'perfect person' to make a paranormal investigator!!! Seriously, the main thing this field definitely / desperately needs are a lot more people with your attitude Tizzy, that's for sure !!!;) Tezza - another...

Tezza - what an absolutely superb notion !!! Of course, in these 'X-Factor' / TV Zombie charged times, you couldn't generate enough interest in anything so probing or challenging !! Worst luck, of course mate........!!;) Re. the 'catching such a thing on video comment' - this was purely a...

Heck Tezza - I wouldn't know where to start mate !!!???:D I'm in the ghost club because I was one of the founder members basically - lifelong interest and all that - and at the time of founding the group, it was something that the area probably needed to be honest. Of course, I don't...

Tezza - what a cracking story !! We shouldn't laugh, of course, but it's certainly had me in stitches !!:D Too right Lloyd - perhaps the emphasis from the other side had more to do with J***'s prize winning rose bushes than any loving, matrimonial links !! :D Re. the sceptic / believer...

I'm not at all surprised by what you've related here Tezza. I'm reasonably well known for my anti-psychic viewpoint..... something which has, in the past, had a number of mediumistic-types saying that they felt somewhat 'oppressed' by my presence at investigations !! :D Akin to your technical...

I know exactly what you're saying here Tezza...... Knowing of my interest in such things, I'm sure a number of my family members would have made the effort to 'return' to me if such things were humanly possible - if only just to give me a little something 'definitive' for all of my years...

Tezza - I believe that we all have varying degrees of 'power' to experience the paranormal and some are evidently more likely than others to have these encounters. At a guess - from what you've said - you seem to be at the 'most likely' end of the scale when it comes to seeing such things...

Thanks Tezza...... Re. the lack of fright during ghostly experiences, I must admit that I've heard reports from both ends of the spectrum regarding such matters. (A great many people have - with considerable surprise - told me that they weren't frightened at all during their encounters, where...

Tezza - the Sandwell Valley investigation was co-ordinated by a group called the South Staffs Metaphysical Society (who were a regional branch of the aforementioned British Met Soc). Around the time referred to, there were a lot of alleged sightings of the ghostly monk around the priory site...

And so it becomes clear Tezza !!!! I'm such an idiot...... I couldn't tell you the amount of times I've been to Swan Pool over the years and never realised !! :D:D:D I'm not at all surprised under the circumstances re. ghosts reported at the pool, as there are plenty of tales surrounding that...

Tezza - thanks for filling us in mate !! I wish I'd have knocked around with you as a kid..... it certainly sounds like the sort of thing I'd have revelled in!! ;) Is Wassons Pool still there, do you know? I ran a search for it, but couldn't find much about the place...... A friend of mine...

Anthea - there is plenty of stuff to be found on the net regarding this sort of matter, i.e.: https://wayhistsoc.home.comcast.net/~wayhistsoc/whs/Shoes_in_the_Wall/shoes_in_the_wall.htm I'd always been led to believe that shoes were an endeavour to bring general good luck to the occupants...

What a superb find RobertS - I absolutely love this sort of antiquity !! There is a shop in my home town where a medieval shoe was discovered behind a hidden wall panel (in an upstairs room) during renovation some years ago. Allegedly, after it's removal / discovery, a host of poltergeist-like...

Anyone is most welcome to join the forum - which you can find through a link on the westmidlandsghostclub.com index page - but please, please, please don't expect too much from it....... While the WMGC run the forum, it is pretty much allowed to tootle-along at it's own speed and goes up and...

One passer-by told me that there used to be a big, white flag pole next to it...... pity it's not there now though!!!!:D If you check the area out on Google Earth, you can find the well in no time...... obviously not that easy on the ground !! And I used to be exceptionally good at...

Lyn - it's where they took the photo that Dave M has recently posted up !!! :D:D:D Dave M - yes.... that looks like it from the photo's I've seen, though I obviously cannot speak from personal experience !! (Worst luck !!) :D Regards, Nick www.westmidlandsghostclub.com

I thought that you were possibly referring to yours truly when mentioning 'Chris', Lyn.:D I'll admit that I was initially looking through the previous posts - in vain, of course - to see what this Chris had been saying though!!:D Yes - there are quite a few features in Sutton Park that should...

Wales - I'm sorry, but I have to ask........ who is 'Chris' ?????? I think that Sutton Park should make a bit more effort with the route of the old Roman road really. On the last couple of visits to the area, it was getting less and less obvious where the path actually ran....... A shame to...

I mentioned Icknield Street, as there appears to be a number of hauntings associated with - or around - the length of this road. (Or, at least it's former route). Not too long ago, we were looking into sightings of phantom horsemen in Sutton Park very close to (if not on the very site) where...

Too true Claire - especially under the circumstances mentioned in this particular story !! Thanks for sharing your experiences Wales...... and I was most intrigued by the mention of the nearby Icknield Street possibly having some effect on the encounters concerned? Regarding the fact that...
