Newstead Abbey is supposed to be haunted by tons of ghosts (Lord Byron's house). Lord Byron claimed he talked to them all the time but maybe they were just the voices in his head. I've tried to see the lady riding in a horse and carriage and the evil Monk next to Byrons bedchamber and the monks in the courtyard. But alas they have never revealed themselves to me ... or perhaps that's a good thing!! :o :o
They do special night time ghost walks around Newstead at Halloween but I'm too scared to go on one ... just in case!

I think my British boyfriend has talked about this place. Isn't it in Nottingham? And it was built as a monastery about a thousand years ago? Yes, I should imagine there are plenty of ghosts in there Susie!! I wish I was in England. I'd sit out there and watch for them with you!! :D
I love doing things like that!
Hey! I just noticed something! You're close to achieving 3000 Susie! Get to posting, girl friend!! :D

Well I have never seen a ghost. But I have heard one....and I have seen something odd just after my brothers
suicide. \
The first was with five of my daughters friends. We had a slumber party for them...Now you might say, they had been sitting around telling ghost stories and worked themselves into a mind screw. Then the answer to that is, it was still early, we were all sitting around the breakfast bar eating...pizza, and chips, and pop....so we were stone sober.
Our driveway ran along that side of the house,,and to the garage which was detached from the house...at the back of the property.
We were just talking. Then we heard the horse walk down the driveway , from our patio slab across the grass, no sound, then back on the pavement, to the fence that stopped the way out to the front...This was a horse area so no one was
surprised, horses getting into people backyard was not that unusual. So one of her friends and I went out to see whos horse it might be, and tell them to come and claim it....well guess what, no horse. the back gate was closed, and no horse could have gotten in...our horse was in his corral and there was just nothing there....We all heard it. Me first. and it was not there...We later found out a horse down the street had died that night...this is a true story...And that horse was heard several times after that too. We were just the first to hear it....
I will tell the other one about the doves later on in the thread....

Have you experienced the "hand clasp" as I like to call it, or just a tap, Dottie? I've experienced a full hand clasp; that is, I've felt the weight of an unseen hand on my shoulder, or on the back of my neck. Whoo!!! :o
And now I must go to bed.
Pleasant nightmares, everyone!! ;) :laugh: :laugh:
