    Brummie Ghosts

    You're right there Harborne... Mossy what kind of ghosts were there? I don't know much about the place you mention so do you think it could be past workers haunting it? or was there something there before it that the Ghosts are connected to?

    Brummie Ghosts

    I've only seen a few shows, i keep missing them lol but from what i saw they did seem a bit more rational about it and not so oh yeah that noise was a ghost etc etc, and seemed more willing to question things then just accept it was down to hauntings, but as i say i haven't seen the whole series...

    Giblin or Gibling family..

    I think you are right bren, i mean if he is the right person he probably never thought she would come looking. He may be wanting to adjust to the situation first before he starts to deal with her side of things, he may have mixed feelings and not know what to say to her.

    Giblin or Gibling family..

    This is the only thing with these situations, a lot of people will see it as they have got on with their lives and time has passed and they may not want to get involved, i wish you both the best of luck tho, whatever the outcome, lucky her having you to care/support her :)

    Brummie Ghosts

    Yeah they may well do, but chances are they will have experienced too i would have thought, he's got to have lived there, how old were the flats do you recon? relatively modern or do you think they had been there some years? Maybe they were built where his house used to be, you never know do...

    Wonder if there would be any old newspaper clippings? I don't know Northfield that well, maybe other tennents experienced it too? Maybe the new tennents do? Do you live nearby still you could go back and ask them?

    Brummie Ghosts

    Yeah that is the problem, I think you just have to be careful at times of people taking advantage, only thing i can suggest is try Birmingham Library, something might turn up there, more then likely it was a farm firstly as most of the land that way was i think, years ago most of Birmingham was...

    Brummie Ghosts

    I'm not knocking you, just saying i hadn't heard mega ghost stories, and to be honest with you, as far as Richard Felix is concerned, he's probably a genuine guy, I just don't think the most haunted stuff has done him any favours with all their so called 'set ups' and thats from thier own...

    Workhouse records

    Pheobe have you found his parents on the census living elsewhere? It could be they fell on hard times and were all in seperate Workhouses, or it could be like happened with someone in my Family, the mother died, the dad put the kids in the workhouse and went off and remarried and had more children!
