Looks like a tailor's model to me. The lady next door keeps one in her conservatory as a deliberate ploy to make people think someone's at home.
Just down the road from me there's a contractor's yard. He leaves a hi viz vest with a hard hat atop it visible. First glance you really think there's someone there.

I'm generally sceptical about this kind of thing: [url]http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/local-news/look-spooky-face-window-freaks-11372843[/url]

There's a tale that Magna park is haunted, but I know the truth about that one.
It was the former Bitteswell aerodrome owned by Hawker Siddeley. One night we half scared the foreman to death because he'd been a pain in the butt.
One of the group put on an old man's latex mask, RAF great-coat and chip-hat. Then he crept outside of the hangar and along to the foreman's office window. He tapped on the window and as the foreman looked up beckoned him. The foreman let out a terrible scream and almost needed a change of underwear. He never worked nights again, and we actually got more work done.

I posted these about the Meon Hill Witch Murder in the 'Interesting Murders' thread recently, and thought they'd be good for here too: http://www.mysteriousbritain.co.uk/e...black-dog.htmlhttp://www.spookyisles.com/2012/04/t...hcraft-murder/

Jeepers Creepers, that is an odd one, can't explain that other than maybe a remote control and the shadow of the person operating it.

Too clean and clinical for me Gladys. I suspect some sort of fakery.
Now, this I find far more interesting...

Studley castle is allegedly haunted. I tried getting some of the staff to talk about it once, they all refused. - I've stayed there in the past and not seen anything, but that might be due to the good quality of their wine cellar.

That place definitely looks haunted. I wonder if they have ever thought of having an exorcist to rid the place of these restless spirits, whatever it is they do.

I know its ' that time of Year' but really, this has to be a hype with this in mind. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2478232/Ancient-Ram-Inn-Britains-haunted-B-B-terrified-guests-jumped-windows.htmlIf they found bones which are believed to be human I know the police have to be informed. The bones are then examined and are reburied in consecrated ground. Were they informed? How true is this story, does anyone know or even may have visited the place?

Hopefully, they'll uncover the story but if they do, please share it. Some County Councils also hold historical archives especially about properties, why not ask yours? You may be referred to the Land Registry though which costs but its still worth a go.

Yes, I have also had a notion of having been somewhere before except not in this life time. Now you've recalled that memory, Cathidaw, why not draw it? Do you have any idea about the history of that farmyard and the family/ families that lived there?

I haven't had any ghostly experiences for ages , but sometimes I have feelings of having been there before. When I went to NEWCASTLE UPON tyne fr instance for the first time.Much later I discovered that my Grandparents had been born there, where the football ground is now.
Another time I was in an derelict farmyard , with my husband, tending to a poorly horse in an old stable -- as one does at midnight on Christmas eve --whenthe person it belonged to had gone to university and left it with us.
I felt or maybe had images in my mind of children dressed as they were early in the century with pinnies on, bows in their long hair running about inthecobbled yard.None of them wore shoes so I assumed they were very poor.I always intended to draw the scene but never did.Irecall it now , even down to the rainwater butt under a pipe -which was no longer there, and a dog and kittens.

amgel03, I feel priviledged to have been ' chosen ' / ' gifted ' / ' open ' enough to have received them.I am not sure which it is but maybe some of all of those. I don't and didn't seek any events out, they just happened and I am not left traumatised by them which seems to be how you have been affected. Whilst you haven't expanded on your events which I take as you probably want to put them as far behind you as possible but it really would help you to speak to some one about them so they don't lie festering in your ' psyche cupboard.' Then hopefully if you have enough trust in the person you share them with they will lose the power they have had on you. How does your Partner feel about them?You too are priviledged but I am sure it doesn't feel like it. If its happened once to you then it is likely you'll experience other events because you are 'open' to them.If this happens it would be comforting to know you don't have to fear them. The presence in The Anchor was scarey but I am not fearful to the point I'd never go back. In fact, I'd like to go back to challenge it to see if it happens again just to find out and to cement the fact it was real. These things are often surreal; they leave you wondering even though you know they did happen.
