[mackenzie]

this business about scarblue has got me gripped to be honest. is this true. dont wanna cause offense but what exactly happens. got me spooked out!

Yes, it's true.

And there was something else too iirc. Can't remember the details...it was a pretty bad time on here to be honest. Something to do with seeing his Dad on an old Local History vid I think.

He was made up.

That is strange. Last Christmas my Dad said his dead father and uncle came to see him to say he would die in two years time - and I have never seen him act so strangely in my life. I hope to God he was hallucinating.

Unrelated I admit, but my Gran's little brother died in the 1920's after picking and eating wild mushrooms. Turned out they were poisonous (not sure if he hallucinated before though) ;-)

I think my mum may have spiked his drink, now I jus wish someone would spike mine ;)

Thats a sinister little story about the mushrooms, ill be sure not to eat any wild ones in the future.

Sorry for the long story.

A little while ago I was staying in the castle hotel in Conwy, Wales. It stands on the site of a former Cistercian abbey and is now a 15th century Inn. It's a very atmospheric place, very old with low beams and tight corridors. Anyway, I had dinner there and the owner joined me after dinner with the chef for a few drinks. They told me that the place was haunted by a 'mad monk'. Aren't they all says I. But with a deathly serious face the owner tells me that it's causing them real problems, that people aren't coming back because they are frightened. Apparently during the black death of the 13th century, the abbey closed it's doors to the outside as the disease took hold. This particular monk arrived back from a trip to another abbey to find that, such was the fear of the black death, they would not re-open the gates to re-admit him. So he was left to take his chances in the village.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, he contracts the plague and spends his last days, watched by the monks in the abbey, in screaming agony and dementia, at the walls of the abbey praying to God and warning the monks that he would see them burn in hell. After he died the sightings began and people who claimed to have seen him, so the legend goes, died an agonising death, not unlike the plague. Anyway these guys tell me that customers are saying they are seeing this character and that bookings are down.

Nice wind-up thinks I as I head to bed, but can't help but think I'm a touch nervous. Anyway, during the night I suddenly woke up with the feeling my heart had stopped beating. A truly horrible experience. Adrenaline was absolutely racing around my body. I decided to go out on to the landing, the room was incredibly hot, to get some fresh air. As soon as I am alone on the landing this glow appears at the end of the corridor, it starts quite small and then suddenly bursts into the shape of this monk and comes, no word of a lie, charging towards me with his mouth open in a screaming fashion and passes right fucking through me. I am screaming like a fucking baby I can tell you.

People now come running out of their rooms and ask what happened. I tell them and explain that I am getting the fuck out of there and I would advise them to do the same. Anyway, this nerdy looking chick starts poking around and says she's not so sure. I wanted to get out ASAP, but she and her friends convinced me to stay another night. I'm pretty loathe, but to be honest she had a cute mate and she didn't seem attached, so I thought what the hell. Frankly I've got the black death already if that's the way it is. So we wait until dark again. I wasn't really up for seeing it again and nor was one her friends, so me and him and his dog went to the kitchen to wait it out and, frankly, eat ourselves stupid. I think the ghost must has sensed me from our previous encounter, as he suddenly appeared. We ran like fuck, no looking back.

At one point the other bloke was flying along on a trolley being pushed by his dog. It was crazy. We couldn't get away from the horror. Open a door and there he was. At one point I was hiding behind a curtain in the dark and thought I was holding the other blokes arm, turns out it's the monk. Fortunately, we found some chefs outfits and dressed up to fool the ghost that we were chefs cooking him a great meal. The other guy put a bow tie on his dog and got him to pretend to be a waiter. It bought us the time we needed and we got away. His 3 friends never even saw the ghost, but when we met up, the nerdy one said she was confident she could stop the hauntings. The other bloke (couldn't be sure now if he was shagging the cute chick) came up with some ridiculous fucking idea involving pulleys and tablecloths tied together. ****. The cute one suggests me, the kitchen dude and the dog attract the monk and then run, luring the ghost into the 'trap'. Thanks a fucking lot I say, but in the interests of a chance shag I agree.

Bizarrely, the other bloke agrees to risk his life for a dog snack, which combined with his penchant for talking to his Great Dane, doesn't exactly inspire me with confidence for my future. Anyway, to cut a long story short, after some bizarre fucking escapades involving glue, pulleys, the dog stuck in a spinning wheelie bin with the monk and the fucking whole ridiculous plan going tits up spectacularly, it finally ends with me, the dog food eating guy, the dog and the monk all trapped inside a chandelier (don't ask). It turns out it was the chef dressing up as a monk, with some help from special effects projection. Apparently he wanted to buy the shithole at a reduced price or something. I never got a sniff of the hot one either, though I think the nerdy was up for it.

Crazy, but true.

I doff my cap in the presence of greatness:O) quality!

It was true bud. It was pretty unsettling. Whether he was taking the piss or not i don't know, but it didn't seem like it.

My experience - I was stopping with a guy from work in an old hotel (part of it was a 15th/16th century manor house) when the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night. We went downstairs and it there was only us 2 and the night porter in the hotel looking around (it was only a small family run place). We found out the "fire" was some smoke backing up from the fire in the library/rest room.

Anyway, I went back to my room and saw someone going round a corner at the end of the corridor. I thought it was strange as only 3 of us were downstairs for the fire alarm so I went to the end of the corridor and and just where it turned around was another hotel room. Thinking nothing more of it I just went to bed.

Next morning I mentioned seeing the person to the night porter who was still working and he said we were the only 2 guests in the hotel. I basically said that's bollox as I saw someone down the corridor from me in the last room. He looked at me really strange and said flat out he was telling the truth and we were the only 2 guests.

Did I see a ghost, I'm not 100% sure, but what I saw was enough to make me think that there was definitely a person in that corridor. Supposedly this hotel was haunted by a couple of ghosts when I looked into the histroy of the place though.

I can't say I believe in ghosts but since that night I've had an open mind to the possibility.
