Not far from me out in the Hertfordshire countryside is a sunken Roman road, now sided by old trees with tentacle-like roots that top the high brick and flint walls as if they are climbing out of the road. Along the old holloway is a hidden bridge known by locals as the “Devil’s Bridge on… Continue reading The Devils Bridge in Spooky Lane, Hertfordshire

My close encounter with a London Ghost last week!
It’s still a few days before Halloween and I have a whole plethora of Halloween themed posts as well as from history such as Corpse Roads and Dancing on the Dead at Enon Chapel – The Victorian Sensation! to more recent scary goings on such as The Enfield Poltergeist. For a simple post today though, just… Continue reading My close encounter with a London Ghost last week!
An eerie journey along old Corpse Roads
Can anyone believe that I have written Halloween (related posts for 7 years now. When I started this blog I thought I’d be lucky to still be going in a month. As with everything else, I always try to keep my Halloween posts grounded as I think that makes them more realistic and also more… Continue reading An eerie journey along old Corpse Roads
Top 10 films of 2018
It’s become tradition that every year I do a blog post listing my favourite television programmes and films of the year. As for the big screen, I don’t think it has been a classic year either. I don’t think anything has quite touched the brilliance of last years Goodbye Christopher Robin or Arrival . Here are the… Continue reading Top 10 films of 2018
An eerie old mortuary from Jack The Ripper and the world’s oldest Police.
Whilst out on one of my walks and whilst taking some photos for Mondays post on The Ratcliffe Highway Murders, I made it my business to hunt out a new (for me) location related to Jack The Ripper. Hidden away in the corner of St George in The East Church, I found this. The derelict… Continue reading An eerie old mortuary from Jack The Ripper and the world’s oldest Police.
The Ratcliffe Highway Murders
It’s Halloween and I’ve done a number of related posts on the origins of Halloween, hauntings, the modern day Enfield Poltergeist and of course the infamous Jack The Ripper. Real life figures such as the Victorian poisoner Mary Cotton and figures that merge myth and reality such as Springheeled Jack. Perhaps more horrendous than any of… Continue reading The Ratcliffe Highway Murders
My latest ‘mini’ horror movie – Bad Dream?
It’s become something of a tradition for my friend and I to make a Halloween inspired video and I thought I would share this years effort. Bizarrely, whilst all the other young children would and still do watch cute shows, all of my favourite shows and films were adult historical/war, sci-fi and in horror and I… Continue reading My latest ‘mini’ horror movie – Bad Dream?
Crows, Ravens & Halloween
Over the years, I have written quite a few posts on Halloween related subjects such as Halloweens of past and present (updated) Top 10 Haunted places in the U.K. the fearful Spring Heeled Jack who wrought terror in mostly distant times and the Enfield Poltergeist who terrified a particular family in modern day London. This year I… Continue reading Crows, Ravens & Halloween
Mary Ann Cotton – Dark Angel
As we reach All Hallows Eve, it has become a tradition that I write a post related to Halloween or at least, things that go bump in the night. Last year I wrote about the apparently true events portrayed in The Enfield Poltergeist so I thought that today I would also write about true events, that… Continue reading Mary Ann Cotton – Dark Angel
The Enfield Poltergeist
It’s Halloween time again and this year I’d like to tell you about one of the best documented and most irrefutable cases of otherworldly spookiness that shook London in the 1970’s and quickly came to be known as The Enfield Poltergeist. It centred around an otherwise unremarkable council semi-detached house in Green Street, Enfield, North London… Continue reading The Enfield Poltergeist
