Arrggghhhh - talk of Fort Dunlop brings back 20 year old memories of scraping knee deep pigeon poo, copiously littered with feathered corpses from up in the roof area of the old factory building !!! Wonder if they have the same trouble now ('not', of course!!):D:D As possibly mentioned...

Does anyone know anything about the Star City site at all? I've passed by it on the motorway, but don't know anything about the area concerned..... It's a very interesting experience Claire!!! but I wouldn't have necessarily taken it as a personal assault chuck(?) Perhaps your head just...

I genuinely believe were looking at something wholly 'impersonal' here and it is only the interpretation of the 'victims' (for wont of a better word) concerned that give a lot of this sort of thing a 'personal' flavour...... and a 'personality', of course. (The latter is the second thing I urge...

As mentioned previously (I think?) I generally try to get people to accept haunting activity as a matter of interest and certainly nothing to be worried about / scared of. If people can accept this - and try and ignore all of the erroneous stuff that paranormal culture implies - there is no...

Thanks folks - I knew the place was supposed to be pretty well abandoned now, but had no idea of what might be left re. structures and so on. Claire - there have been a few cases where blessings, etc, are said to work, but I have a feeling that such matters may boil down to a placebo-type...

Don't you believe it Claire!!!:D Literally every case I've come across where a blessing or exorcism has taken place, things have either subsided for a brief period of time and then simply continued.... or just got much worse. (This includes orthodox religious, psychic / spiritualist, white...

Naughty Claire!!!:D:D Re. TAPS, I only watched one episode..... back at the beginning of the first series. They've apparently become 'heroes' to many groups in the time the show has been running, being praised for their no-nonsense attitude with regards to 'Orbs' and such like...

I take my eye's off this post for a couple of days and when I come back......... Well......!!! :D:D Re. Claires comments above - I have to say that I'd never heard of the pub previously (I'm not at all a pubby person), so any derogatory-sounding comments were aimed at dealings with Felix...

Now that is really weird / coincidental Big Gee, as the old George Mason shop in Bilston was said to be haunted (in the 60's, I believe) too!!! I have a news cutting about the matter somewhere! I concur totally with Astonian: there would seem to be certain people who have a distinct knack of...

Re. the Crooked House - it's a nice place, but getting a little 'trendy' with regards to it's alleged ghostlore. Lindev - It's very comforting to think that past generations are still there, watching over people and ready to help out when need be...... Regards, Nick www.westmidlandsghostclub.com

Watered beer and naff ghosts....... certainly not worth bothering with then!!:D:D Actually, the beer side of things wouldn't concern me, as I don't drink. (Unless there is a nice bottle of port on the go.... then I'll make an exception!!) I always joke that the only time you'll find me in a...

Oooh - that's very cynical Claire........ but very true too!!!:D There is a heck of a lot of that sort of thing going around these days, unfortunately...... I visited a particular pub in Sutton a few years back and, asking about their resident ghost, received something of a 'frosty'...

Thanks for the reply Claire-Brum..... Personally, I'd urge people to take no notice of Felix whatsoever.... All he seems interested in doing is becoming more wealthy and famous, sadly, at the cost of this subject....... Regards, Nick www.westmidlandsghostclub.com

Too true Lloyd - though there is a big difference between being 'open minded' and 'downright gullible'...... the latter being the sort of people who would happily swallow the word of Donald Ryles PhD and his ilk!!:D:D My scepticism is generally aimed at the paranormal research culture itself...

Thanks Chris...... Regards, Nick www.westmidlandsghostclub.com

To be honest Wendy, I have never really bothered to research into the history of the Barton Arms simply because of the aforementioned factors. I had not heard of the site as a potentially haunted place before it was advertised (tainted?) by the commercial concern and a lot of these buildings...

I have quite a few ghost stories about Aston Hall Rosie - a few of them gleaned from past staff / security members!!!!???? Regards, Nick www.westmidlandsghostclub.com

Thank you very much Wendy..... I thought I had better explain myself fully to the forum, as my use of the term had evidently caused concern in some quarters and the reason for the post being edited, i.e. 'Inappropriate reference to St Margarets and patients' fell a little short of explaining...

With regards to this post being edited on the ground of containing an 'inappropriate reference to St Margarets and patients', I should like to stress that the wording used by myself was certainly not intended to be offensive and / or derogatory to anyone. While I will not use the full title...

I'm currently looking to make contact with anyone who has first-hand experience of the former St Margarets Mental Hospital in Great Barr, either ex-staff members or patients. Predictable as ever, my interest in the site does involve a 'paranormal' related angle - so I just thought I might...
