Eerie places you live near?
Are there any eerie places you live close to? I have a haunted wood with a ghost monk, a dodgy graveyard with a woman in white, something at the end of my road like a blocked off overgrown field with old desreted sheds in which looks like where a serial killer would dispose of bodies. But the biggest thing is Clop Hill, ok its about 15 minutes away from stevenage and i've never been there but so want to. The stories you hear about it. Basically its ruins of a devils church, the cross is pointing the wrong wa and satanists are still supposed to go there on certain ngihts and thet have to block it all off on halloween. the people i know who have been say its always foggy and jsut really creepy the whole area and feels horrible. I so wanan go some time but my mates are too scared to drive there and check it out

My not-very-local pub has a ghost in the cellar, which they consistently fail to warn new staff about.

The fire station that my dad works at has at least 3 ghosts.
Including one fireman who died in the tower.
They used to hang the hoses up to dry in the tower and the the quick way down from the top was to put your foot in one of the pully ropes & let someone lower you down. He put his foot in the wrong rope, the one that noone was holding & fell to the bottom. Urrrgh.

Hi tree Welcome to the site.
Spooky stuff eh? Well, my auntie used to live somewhere that was haunted & I saw the ghost when I was little & screamed my head off. It was a poltergeist kind of thing & used to close the door to the living room & wouldn't let us out, make the tv go off station then pick up static & go back again & there was this awful horrible smell. This all used to happen at the same time quite often. It turns out that when she had the place exorcised there was a guy who became a recluse due to a tragedy in his life & only lived in the one room, the living room. He used to go to the loo in the corner in a bucket as he didn't want to go upstairs & in the end he gassed himself in the oven. Very, very scary stuff.
Also, where I live now was frequented by a ghost. It was the old lady who used to live here & she burnt herself really badly while trying to light the boiler (something to do with petrol) & she kind of lost her mind with the pain & ran down to the old bomb shelter in the garden as she thought the war was still on. Poor thing was found a while later Again, the bungalow has been exorcised & now only occasionally does stuff go missing, or move from the tv to the shelf & later back again.
Before anyone asks, too much has happened in my life that I have first hand experienced of, so yes, I truly believe in ghosts or forces that exist in a place.

Spooky places...
Well, I live down the road from Morph, and many times, I've woken up the next morning surrounded by empty beer cans, and with no memory from the night before....
Pretty spooky if you ask me.

ha ha Tony, I had a feeling you'd write something like that 
Isn't Brummieland situated on the UK hellmouth
There's a couple of places near me said to have ghosts - 2 nuns are said to haunt an area out near one of the secondary schools.
I remember holidaying in Wales once and seeing a girl walking down a road that none of my family saw (I honestly thought I'd lost my marbles!) but then we found out a girl had been killed there years previously.
My mum used to live in a house where apparently you could only walk up one side of the stairs because the ghost there used to knock you down the other side
Although now I've grown up I've seemed to grown out of seeing ghosts, which is a good job cause after all the horror type films I've seen I'd probably freak out!

tycho!
you can't slap me back to france when I'm still here and I never left. thats the funny thing about the www.
Do you remember the butresses stucking out of the emankment in the wood, with the hand rails and half burried arch ways? this place is the creepiest place I have ever been to. Do you know what it was or why it is there.
Note: FRENCH keyboards are rubbish

Posted: 21:23 Nov 09 2002 I went to the primary school across the road and my grandad and best mate lived in the flats built around it. I've been obsessed with that cemetery since i was little, it was the highgate vampire book i found in the library that got me started on my interest in the supernatural and all things scary. its a beautiful cemetery and so peaceful Im surprised after a prank that was played on me i didnt develope a phobia of the place and quite glad i didnt i get my best photos in cemeteries and my do my best thinking there too. i would love to see the older part.

Where i lived in Cardiff we had a haunted grave stone in a disused church yard. the statue on top of the tomb would move to each end depending on the years,even tho it was a solid part of the lid!
the Vicarage was haunted too, by a couple of children. when i went to comunion lessons years ago we all heard childrens laughter even tho there were no children in the house(apart from us). and sounds of footsteps running upstairs too.
there was also a lot of ancient standing stones in my area that gave a very eerie powereful feeling, like being very warm even when it was snowing and freezing cold.
I now live near Highgate cemetary which is very old and spooky, and has a legend of the highgate vampire. ive really got to check out my local area, cos i love haunted places.
really wanna do a ghost hunt like they have on tv at the moment

There are loads of scary places near where i live, youve got copt hall which is on the outskirts of epping forest and quite possibly the freakiest place you can ever visit day or night, theres the church and graveyard at cold christmas where snow wont settle in the area inside or on the church (alleged to be used by devil worshippers), then of course theres epping forest and robin hood lane, pishiobury park in sawbridgeworth (yes that is where beckham lives before anyone posts too ask) and to top it all of my dad lives relatively nearby to borley rectory!!!

Nearish to us is Chingle Hall, reputedly the most haunted house in England, according to those paranormal people. Was the house of a priest who was executed for his beliefs.
Another is Salmesbury Hall, which has one of the "white ladies" everyone seems to have. Supersticious people say if you're driving on the road past the Hall at night, which is spooky enough to start with, that you should never look in your rear view mirror, or you'll see her on your back seat.

I used to go to school in a beautiful old building. Most of it went back to around 1830, but the 'core' of the building was a mansion, from 1750. In the end it was torn down (sadly - it was a listed building, so i dont know how they managed it), but before it was taken down, me and a group of friends went round the derelict building.
Before it was our school it had been a nunnery (is that what they call them), and a boarding school at one time, so when we were at school we only saw about 1/3 of the actual building, the rest of the stuff was "off limits" and locked.
When we went back, it was great, we got to see the whole building. There were TWO levels of cellars, and it was mighty creepy down there. There were huge levels of attics we'd never been in before, and a whole wing of the building with dormitories from when it had been a boarding school. They were ace, with rooms that had been untouched for the best part of 50 years. They still had whole rooms that had most things still in them (beds made, bookshelves filled with books, chests of drawers), bathrooms with porcelean baths and brass taps...
There was the medical room where people used to get their TB jabs etc, when we actually got to venture into it, we found that it was one room of a entire FLAT, within the building. It had a bedroom, bathroom, living room etc, it was amazing. Our old music room, we saw on the original plans (in our CDT classes) was the master bedroom from the mansion, it had an en-suite bathroom behind it.
Where we did drama we had a big hall with a stage and wings on the stage. At one of the wings was this tiny door, it was so weird, it was about 4ft high. When you went through that, it brought you into another really old classroom.
Through another door behind the stage you could go down a corridor on the first floor that was the interconnecting corridor to the chapel, a seperate building off the main one - again that had dormitory rooms that were pretty much untouched.
Beautiful, mysterious building, but damn it was scary. We got caught that day by the security guard owned by the new owners (Barrats), and he admitted that he didnt leave his room at night, he just let the big Alsatian dog (which caught us), wander the place until it found someone.
So if it were still standing, i'd definately invite you all to spend a night there.

As a side note...I think the reason Barrats (the housing people) got to tear it down even though it was listed was that they deliberately let it become unmaintained and hence so damaged it was unfeasible to rennovate it - for example when we visited it, the chapel was pretty much wrecked and water pipes that i assume had frozen, then broken when they'd defrosted had been allowed to just run free pouring water all through the first floor of the chapel's interconnecting corridor and ruining it.
Although many parts were pristine, other parts had just been wrecked. Call me sinacle, but considering the owners I think they had no intention of rennovating the building, only letting it become so damaged that there was no option other than to bulldoze it and make way for cheap doll houses. (That ironically I ended up living in!)
