Legs - thank you for your continued support. Like you say I thought I made it very clear what my intentions were. In my experience a little truth/fact can go a long way and nearly always makes any 'story' far more believable/readable. I do a great deal of research and where ever possible I get my facts 100% correct. eg I spent 2 whole weeks with a local fire 'watch' whilst investigating Spontaneous Human Combustion (the subject of the current novel). In the latest I dealt with real Albanian gangs (a scary activity in itself I can promise you)!!
Cheers from the frost in Australia

Try the "haunted barracks" thread. Im sure that will give you the opportunity to get some millitary ghost stories without starting another thread.

NOT A BLOG - Some folk seem to have a real mental block about what one is.

Moved to Military History.

I once nearly did a full days work and shat myself. Never going there again.

Can't say that I believe in Ghosts and such, mi old ma used to say The dead can't hurt you.
However I was married to a Thai lady, she didn't think Ghosts evil spirits exsisited she knew they did.
Tales of Kassuu, bloodsucking vampires that pray in up country villages drinking the blood of menstruating women and above all afterbirth.
Pi are another evil spirit and all old buildings are full of the dead and departed who never left.
The Pub I drink in is thought by the barmaids to be free of evil spirits but the house next door was a medical clinic and all the staff we have had over the years say it's full of ghosts of the departed, both Patients and residents.
No one wants a second hand car for that will almost certainly be full of bad influences from previous owner who left them when he escaped.
The other year the Thai cabinet did a roadshow, a visit to hold a Full Cabinet meeting out of Bangkok so rural folk could see how democracy works. Over half their time up north was spent visiting a Local soothsayer of High Repute. Seems he neglected or failed to spot the shortly forthcoming Coup.
Did Belsen and Dachau, not nice places and admittedly short of wildlife but never saw anything to suggest an unnatural influence.
Nay No Ghosts its all in the mind.

I too have been to Belsen - it was strangely devoid of any bird life at all. Even stranger as elsewhere on the 'Heath' there were plenty.

Your comments about local ghosts is very intersting - thank you.

I posted this on another forum, but I think you may find it useful.

I was on a course, and staying in an old barracks block from the 19th century. One night as I lay in my bunk, I was woken by my bunk shaking slightly. I lay there half asleep, unsure of what was happening, but beginning to feel the cold grip of fear round my heart.

The shaking continued, until the whole bunk was creaking. In my mind I couldn't help but think that the creaking sounded almost like someone opening and closing the lid of a coffin.

The metallic squeaks and bangs continued as I lay there stricken with terror, then the moaning began........

It continued for a minute or two, then stopped as suddenly as it had begun, and all was quiet again.


When I awoke again the next morning I thought it had just been a dream, until I swung my feet out of bed and straight into a pool of sticky goo on the tiled floor. I suppose it must have been ectoplasm!

And the strangest thing of the lot, was that the bloke in the bunk above me hadn't heard a thing!!

Yours spookily
