David was a very special person for me. When I was younger I put a lot of importance on astrology. This passed as I grew older but when I discovered that he was my astrological twin we established a connection that is hard to explain. David was not the healthiest of men. The time came when his health began to seriously fail, he was developing kidney disease. This is the story of what happened after he died in December 1994. It was written to bring comfort to the recently bereaved.

Martin and I like to visit the stately homes of England for many reasons: they are beautiful; they have a wonderful sense of history; and, often they are haunted. Some of them are stuffed full of ghosts, so many that they are almost hanging out of the windows and flailing their arms to get attention. Dorney Court comes into that category.

People always expect ghosts to be of famous people, this is the only 'celebrity ghost' I have ever met, Lord George Gordon, more commonly known as Byron the poet.

If you look at the importance of the Civil War in the American psyche, you can see how war traumatises, and the number of ghosts at those battlefields shows the trauma does not end with death. Here is a story of a nation crushed under the heel of an oppressor, and how the defiance continues today. A surprising ghost story from Warsaw, Poland.

I am often asked about haunted hotels and guest houses. I have stayed in quite a few over the years. This particular Guest House is in a beautiful part of the English countryside so I have added it to my ghost pages. The house was originally a farm, then it became a youth hostel on the Nidderdale Way. It was a B & B when we visited it.

(Added 18th June 2001, written for the ghost-discuss list in 1999. I finally found some illustrations in 2001! We forgot to take a photograph when we stayed there.)

Hampton Court Palace is notorious as a haunted Royal residence. It has to earn its keep and fund repairs by using the history that took place within its walls as a carrot to bring in tourists. Sometimes this includes using its unseen residents as publicity fodder.

I had to do a web page for an exercise in learning css, so I chose to use one of my older ghost stories to illustrate it [I have lots of stories that just have not made it as far as a web page yet!]. Because it is an exercise in web design it looks different to all the others you will read here. I just did not feel like changing it. Anyway, it is a sweet little story so please enjoy it.

About the nature spirit that lives on the top of Bienn Alligan, a mountain in the Highlands of Scotland. A beautiful place and a lovely spirit.

Story updated with another spirit of place sighting (feeling) April 2000!

The Tower of London has a violent history, a venue of imprisonment and institutional murder for almost a thousand years. Originally built as a Royal Palace and later used as a prison for those indicted for crimes against the Crown and State, both real and fabricated. For one week in each year this Royal Palace runs night-time ghost tours, barely advertised, and it was a sheer fluke that we heard of them in time to make a booking!

Link to the guest book reinstated April 2005 - however you cannot, as yet, leave a message. I am hoping that the poker spam will have given up the 'ghost' and leave me alone [chuckle].
