Dizzy Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 I came across this while looking for an old will (not sure how that happened) but I found it rather amusing to read... ok so I wouldn't have been laughing if I'd been there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Bennett Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Lol, great find Dizz! I particularly like "it is women who have got the wind up", Mr Frangleton facing an emergency by calling for his slippers and the light switch on the ghost!

Tracey Bennett Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Anyone know where Margaret Street was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 i can just imagine Mr Frangleton standing in his back yard and shouting. "eh our emmie fetch me slippers theres a ghost on the railway" pauses to light pipe "and bring the poker" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algy Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Anyone found Margaret St. yet?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 No but was clearly near a railway line.....I was waiting for you Mr Map King ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Happy Now!. I think they had had one to many in the Albion, Battersby Lane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 More than one too many .... but then again how could a human scale a 10 foot wall etc with such ease and speed. Saying that with over 100 angry people chasing them with pokers and the likes then I guess the 'supernatural' powers of human adrenalin could have kicked in to give them extra strength and speed to get away quickly ha ha.

Tracey Bennett Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Well done Algy! Dizz - did you notice the bit where he made 'a peculiar howling noise' as he went over the jagged top of the fence? Yes, I bet he howled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Yes I did Tracey but that never occurred to me ha ha. Green illuminated eyes with a sort of 'light switch' on it's chest made me giggle too. I wonder if they ever found out who it actually was... or 'what'. I couldn't find anything else about it.

Tracey Bennett Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I bet someone, somewhere has been told a tale by their Grandad about 'the time I dressed as a ghost and 100 people chased me down the street', and just quietly rolled their eyes and put it down to Grandad having one of his turns again.

Dizzy Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I found another one..... eek it's Stockton Heath and I walk past here every day. I shall be taking a different route when it's dark from now on just in case posting this entices the mischievous spirit back gain I'm guessing it must mean the St Thomas' Church graveyard but I'm not sure which houses it means as it's dated 1885. Algy any idea ?? 'Better class housing abutting on the high road.... with a greenhouse.... near the graveyard'. I wondered Ellesmere Road but I don't think the houses were built then.

Davy51 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Was that the legendary Spring heeled Jack ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Take your pick Dizz!, I would go for the houses opposite the church that are shops now. 1875. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Cheers Algy, I couldn't find a map around that time As you said I can take my pick to be on the safe side I'll chose the ones opposite where it says Bank view as those aren't there anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Was that the legendary Spring heeled Jack ? Oooh I just googled that and I hope not as 'it' has been seen all over the country and the most recent sighting was 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Bennett Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 As the glass was smashed from the inside I can only conclude that it was alien being trapped in a 3d Time Lord art work finally bringing their plan to take over earth to fruition.

demelzadoe Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Why couldn't we have had the internet thirty years ago? My grandma was always 'hands on' in the village, at St. Thomas', and the British Legion. If only I could sit her down and interrogate her now.
