Neal 1,857 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Walking through Browndown near Lee-on-the-Solent with Skye, my old collie x whippet, and I saw a chap popping out from some bushes. I thought nothing of it at first until, about thirty seconds later, another chap came out from the same bushes looking very apprehensive. Me being a complete innocent to the ways of the world in my early twenties assumed they were bird watching and had found a nest so I waited until they both disappeared and went to have a look...I found two pieces of rope tied to two branches around six foot from the ground and about five foot apart! Being a bit naïve it took a few moments for me to work out why they were there. I gave up rabbiting on Browndown for a while! I found a piss head up there a week ago. 11pm at night. Dogs took off towards the noise, I followed and found a pissed up guy rolling round having trouble navigating the wood. Gutted was an under statement. Thought my luck was in. I used to find the shore side of Browndown so infuriating; all those rabbits but the crunch of pebbles underfoot always spooked them and the little collie x whippet always came back with nothing. Even worse when I kept bumping into little old ladies with lapdogs complaining about how their "little darlings" kept catching the "poor bunnies." I'd give a lot for a spot like that now though (to bring the kelpie on) as all the rabbits have vanished from where I am now over the last few years so he only sees squirrels and pheasant...and they're illegal. Apologies for veering off topic...just felt a bit nostalgic. Edited April 14, 2015 by Neal 2 Quote Link to post

darkjack86 33 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 After l'd been out lamping, walking back along the canal with the dog, shined my torch on a pile of old clothes floating a few feet from bank- then saw all this long, straggly grey hair and realised it was dead old woman face down in the water. Bit of a shock to put it mildly 1 Quote Link to post

Bit of a shock to put it mildly Did the plod say anything about you having a lamp and dog with you when they turned up DJ? Lol. On a serious note though I wouldn't fancy coming across anything like that, sounds like quite a few do though. Quote Link to post

I must be really naive cos i still can't figure out why the ropes were there? Summat to do with bondage? Somebody enlighten me please. Quote Link to post

Neal 1,857 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Jukel123: I was never certain but that's what I've always assumed. I've since heard it was a regular haunt for "that kind of thing." The other "almost" scary thing I remember was when I used to spend a lot of time looking for birds' nests in my teens and spent a lot of time in and around Lee on the Solent golf course. On the side of the road there was a black bin bag and I nearly looked in it but decided not to...a few days later there was a news item on the local news about a paperboy finding a dead baby there! Moving on about twenty years and I was walking the dogs near Kingston cemetery in Portsmouth early one morning on bin day when I heard a strange murmering sound coming from a bin bag. Thinking back to the incident in my teens I decided to investigate...and found a child's broken toy with an almost dead battery. 1 Quote Link to post
