I always take a Priest with me when I go fishing. well to be honest it is more of a very small baseball bat I had turned up on a lathe by a mate about 12" long and lives in the front of my tackle bag ..

Sounds like I do the complete opposite to you lot. I actually want paranormal activity to happen whilst I am fishing my current syndicate (or any others for that matter) - we often ask for things will happen for us if we hear strange noises and sometimes just to see if we can get something to happen. Let me explain.
Around 12 years ago my other half got into watching "Most Haunted" on TV, she then deemed that she would love to go on a ghost hunt. I organised it for her and as she doesn't drive accompanied her. We ended up joining the team and go quite regularly to various supposedly haunted places. Before anyone asks no - not a lot happens that I don't think can be explained, although I do have more of a belief in that sort of thing now than when I first went. I/We have spent hours sat in various pitch black castles/prisons/stately homes all alone waiting for something to happen.
During the winter I take her to loads of these things and in the summer/spring she comes fishing with me - so it seems like a fair deal
Anyway Last year I joined a new syndicate - incidentally the old neo-gothic mansion on the estate is also reputedly very haunted and we have done 5 paranormal investigations there. A couple of the lads decided to give me the low down on the various rumours of monks and ghost dogs etc to wind me up. One of them said he didn't sleep a wink on any night session during his first season due to various happenings. They were really upset when I told them what we do during the winter as clearly their windup wasn't going to work on the new bloke.
I am a lot more worried about the living than the dead. Especially if they are creeping around late at night

I always used a carpenters mallet to bang in my bivvy pegs, and also to deter tackle thieves. Does give a certain feeling of security when you hear weird sounds around the bivvy in the middle of the night.

Never experienced paranormal activity on bank, but there is one perticular lake l fish where l always have some crazy,messed up.......... and l do mean messed up nightmares. Got no explanation why this happens it's pretty rare l have a nightmare maybe a couple a year, but this lake it happens every time. Be interesting to see how many lakes mentioned in this thread are on or near lay lines.

Ok here it goes! I was 14 at the time doing my first overnighter on my own. I wss fishing one of bath roads old waters in Shepperton, I might also add that my mum drppoed me off so I was staying the whole night regardless of what happened. Anyway I got set up etc and got in my sleeping bag about 11pm, about 20 minutes later I could here talking behind my bivvy, being the warrior I was I grabbed a little knife I had and investigated...no one was there. Got back inmy bag and about 45 minutes latr heard ig again , and again no one was there. Just to add there was no one else fishing the lake . Thought it was mh mind playing tricks so I went back to sleep. About 2 hours later a big branch feel off a tree about 100 yards away! Needless to say I didnt get much sleep.
Got 1 more story for the next post

I was fishing moor lane in stains with a mate and we wss fishing from the island(one way on and off). Anyway about 2am in the morning the farmer who lives 200 yards away started his bloody chainsaw up! We was the only ones fishing and the farmer was never happy with anglers around his land. We wasnt that bovered untill we noticed he wasnt cutting anything and it was 2 in the morning, then the sound come closer then stopped. About an hour later someone walked over the wooden bridge, me and my m8 went and had a look...no one there . So we armed ourselfs with a couple of bank sticks and stayed awake all night. It s..ts you up when your only 14
