    Yew Tree Farm

    Thanks Tali! I did contact the NOTW, but have received no reply as yet. Needless to say, I'm not going to be holding my breath over the matter, but my fingers are certainly crossed!!:D:D Look forward to hearing from you!! Regards, Nick www.westmidlandsghostclub.com

    Yew Tree Farm

    Thanks for the reply Tali..... Yew Tree Farm indeed appears to be the property that you have outlined in this link: https://www.mouseprice.com/PropertyDe...ctionID=260478 though it takes a fairly keen eye to make the association now, it seems!! I've seen it - generally whilst passing by on the...

    BartonsArms Ghost

    Well, there you go, the pub does allegedly have a haunted history. However, as mentioned previously, you could put bets that the stories being told about the site today, bear little resemblance to those of a few years ago?? It's incredible what damage a few dodgy psychics, some hysterical...

    Yew Tree Farm

    Dear Tali, Thanks for the reply and links..... You would imagine that a 'change of name' might be a small step in the right direction if trying to sell a property where something so unsavoury had occurred... Funnily enough, we've just been discussing the 'would you or wouldn't you?' question...

    Yew Tree Farm

    No Tali - this isn't the correct address.... The place concerned is just off the Kidderminster Road, near Stourton. The farm was empty for a number of years, but - when I passed it a couple of weeks ago - I noticed that it has been re-vamped and refurbished and looks an absolutely beautiful...

    BartonsArms Ghost

    Chris, Spooky stories concerning the Barton Arms have only recently (over the past couple of years) surfaced - funnily enough through the ministrations of one of the dodgiest 'commercial ghost hunting companies' that you are likely to come across..... I'm not sure if it this site in...

    Brummie Ghosts

    Not too long ago, we'd been negotiating with Cadbury's for an investigation of their factory, but all of the supposedly haunted sections had actually been demolished ages ago!!:D Pity I hadn't heard your Brother in laws story previously Badger - then we might have had something to work with!!:D...

    Brummie Ghosts

    Ooops - have to correct myself here...... It wasn't Lady Scott herself - now I come to check my notes - but the phantom coach which has been associated with the area around Great Barr Hall!!!!! Regards, Nick www.westmidlandsghostclub.com

    Brummie Ghosts

    Hiya Big Gee, The phone box story is indeed a well known tale - though the details concerning 'who' the woman was (why she was there and so on) appear to have been something which has been 'tagged onto' the tale over the years to add a little flavour to it. I've also heard that it was a woman...

    Brummie Ghosts

    I've only just noticed that I've missed a good few posts on this thread....... For some reason my automated 'post' warning seems to have failed me of late!! Whatever - it's great to see so many people willing to share their stories!! Concerning the ghost of Lady Scott - I'd heard many years...

    Hobs Moat - Solihull

    I know it's outside the Brum area, but I was just wondering whether anyone had any details / experience about / of this site...... Pardon me for being oh-so predictable - but I'm mainly interested in any 'peculiar' stories associated with this area??? (I've already checked the net and found...

    Brummie Ghosts

    Indeed Di - and, in my experience, sceptical types make the best witnesses by far when it comes to this sort of thing....!!! Regards, Nick www.westmidlandsghostclub.com

    Brummie Ghosts

    Thanks for the data Bilsat..... I'm on the matter already! Di.Poppitt - As mentioned previously, this sort of thing happens to so many people on a daily basis - whatever the cause..... I have to admit that I do find it funnier when such things happen to disbelievers - just for the 'impact'...

    Brummie Ghosts

    I have to admit that I am the least spiritual person I know - so I certainly don't believe ghosts and hauntings have anything to do with some form of 'life after death' scenario.... (Nor do I have any time for the sort of people who claim to be able to 'talk' with the dear-departed!!)...

    Brummie Ghosts

    Thanks for sharing guys..... This is the truly wonderful thing about this subject - it doesn't matter whether you happen to believe or not, these sort of things happen to normal, rational people on a daily basis...... Of course, it will all boil down to a matter of interpretation at the end of...

    Brummie Ghosts

    The WMGC membership is made up of both sceptics and believers..... We've always maintained an objective stand-point throughout our history, as there is evidently no point to running a group made up of people with the exact, same belief system...... (Which is where 99% of so called research...

    Brummie Ghosts

    Hiya All, I've just popped on to the forum (after a considerable break) to see how the thread on 'Birmingham Ghosts' was progressing........ Paranormal happening - or am I just a dozy ding-bat - but it's either vanished, or I just plain cannot locate it now????? In the event that it has...

    Birmingham 'Mailbox' building.....

    Sorry for the delay in responding folks..... Erebus - to answer your question: I was asked to do a a stint on Radio 5 some time last year because some staff members had reported (alleged) ghostly happenings in the building..... Unfortunately, the slot was subsequently cancelled and I never...

    Birmingham 'Mailbox' building.....

    Thank you very much for that information Erebus! Would anyone have possibly heard any rumours about ghostly happenings at this site at all? Regards, Nick

    Birmingham 'Mailbox' building.....

    Many thanks!! I was particularly looking for anything that might mention some detail about the history of the site itself? I've checked around quite a bit, but there doesn't seem to be anything to specific about the general use of this building and so on. Regards, Nick
