Great Castles - Green Lady of Caerphilly Castle GREAT-CASTLES.COM I was driving along a country road late at night in my first car ,a ratty 1963 Humber Sceptre, after an evening out with my girlfriend . Even though it was 1979 l can still recall what happened all too clearly. We were on a section of dark road between two villages .Just before the brow of the hill that would take us down to the next village what l can only describe as a dark mass ,a bit shapeless but recognisably a figure appeared in the gutter . The bit of road was fairly straight and the verge wide and level . I wasn't going very fast and the headlights would've picked-up anything in the road or on the verge in plenty of time. Yet suddenly there was something inches from my bonnet. My girlfriend screamed and l instinctively swerved. There was no bump but there was suddenly an absolutely foul stench coming from the back seat of the car ; like a wet dog or something pulled from a bog but ten times stronger!

Oops, pressed submit before l meant to. Neither of us dared to look round to see what was there. The conversation went something like "You look. " "No you look." "Fxck off." "No you fxck off. I'm driving." So we sat staring straight ahead as the car passed through the next village and the next. All the time the stench grew more overbearing. My hands were sweating on the wheel and my girlfriend was sobbing and shaking. Then as quick as we hit the lights of our home town the thing was gone . It was like something had been lifted from us . We went from terrified to joking that whatever it was probably just wanted a lift into town. If the same thing happened now l would have no trouble stopping the car and having a chat with it but at the time it was an horrific experience! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 16,123 Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 On 25/12/2023 at 08:09, Arry said: Years ago I had a sixteen foot clinker dingy that a mate and I used to fish from in the river Dart near Dartmouth. Anyway we decided to do a night session just out side the mouth, well the fog came in so we stayed close to the shore not far out. This is in the days of Tilly lamps and crap torches no head lights back then not a problem we were used to it. So we set up and started fishing for Conger and Huss settled down cup of tea and a fag both smoke then. Right, late into the night we started to hear this bump bump bump getting closer and closer in the light of the Tilly we could only see about twenty yards. It was getting louder and louder bump bump both looking at each other say what the f**k is it. Then out of the mist came two men in a boat with paddles one paddling each side. It was a strange boat made up of big planks which I had never seen one like that before and the men were dressed in like old fashion closes with hats that looked like long beanies folded over. The bumping was the paddles hitting the side of the boat was like from a different era. I said alright lads to them as they passed about fifteen feet away. They never answered never looked at us just stared straight ahead and disappeared from the glow of the Tilly into the mist as they headed towards Dartmouth entrance. f**k knows I don't know but how they navigated in pitch black in fog coming for out to sea I don't know. Was bad enough for us we were fifty yards from the shore and I knew where we were but couldn't see the shore. Cheers Arry They were the ghosts of people wilf has bored to death about carping 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EDDIE B 3,166 Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 My father in law always tells a story about staying in a pub called the Black Bull. Think it is in Yorkshire somewhere. Was around the 60's I think. He was on the batter, and needed a place to stay, and that's where he ended up. Well at some stage during the night, he was awoken by a strange feeling that someone was standing over him. He lept up and hit the light switch, and no-one there. Got back into bed, and same thing happened again. Ended up staying awake all night, with the lights on. As soon as it started getting bright, he pulled the curtains, and looked out the window. Feckin graveyard out the back of the pub. That was enough for him. He wasn't waiting round for breakfast lol 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tatsblisters 10,145 Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Remember years ago when i worked down the pit and on a night shift and feeling knackered as i had been coursing in the afternoon and the outby button lad had not turned up so i volunteered to man the button were one belt loaded on to another about two hours into the shift i nodded off but was woken by a gust of air and half opening my eyes i saw some thing that i remember to this days but convinced myself it was a dream and the gust of air was probably down to the air doors being opened outby. I never told anyone as at another pit in the area a lad had claimed he had seen a ghost and got some right piss taken out of him. No doubt the mind and certain conditions can play tricks on it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
