Until I read Carole's note just now I'd always, quite cynically I know, noted the coincidence between hauntings and commercial premises plus the occasional small fry/writers/programme makers 'on the make'. Hmm, there are times when the settings on this PC seem to have a mind of their own. Perhaps...?

As for spooky happenings, cutlery flies around our house frequently and electrical gadgets are forever failing - especially computers. Should we call in the programme makers?

It was also odd that the team found activity in the front wings of the house dating back to 1587 infact the whole building didn't exist then and the wings only added about 140 years ago. And as for a Manor house mmmm????. If you visit the programs website they have more info they quote the 1851 census saying Charles LONG lived there but infact he appears in Great Badminton. http://www.livingtv.co.uk/mosthaunted/thisweek.html regards Robert Visit my web pages at http://www.hawkesburyhistory.co.uk -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
