What a fabulous place to have access to, though its quite sad in a way too, I've come away from it feeling sorry for the little girl

It certainly looks like the same chair from the photos & the "new" slats are weathered..
Another fantastic read.
You've really spoiled us with these stories - Thank you!

It really was pot luck how I ended up getting to live there, the advert was on Rightmove so open to all but it was local knowledge that helped me realise what living there meant - with the access and location not really being acknowledged in the advert.
It also was a sad place at times, the green man was supposed to be the joker and the grey lady and daughter very sad.
Another story that struck me as both happy and sad (but more sad, sorry!) was the young girl who was a final resident of the estate, and aged 12 wrote a book about her time there and this contains many ghost stories.
There is an analysis and pdf file here if you want to take a look, the pdf file has some stories from the book.
I am off to buy a copy of the book now, only just learned about it and am very excited to read it

Ahh that chair did my head in haha... In the winter pic you can see (just about) that there is something under the right hand rear leg which is a bit of broken brick.
I have no idea why two broken chairs were put there but they were otherwise identical. The broken parts of the first chair are there on the floor, so maybe it broke there and then they put the less broken second one there?
It was my spot, no one else ever went there and in the winter pic those footsteps are all mine.
That really was a conundrum I never worked out.
It was my pleasure to write these, I have sat on them for a number of years but they deserved to be told, and I'm glad to have a great audience to tell them to here.
I always check back to this thread hoping to see more stories, so I hope there are many more to come

Awesome story, and nicely scribed! Pics feels like they could be from the film 'The Others' which is one of my favs and arguably one of Nicole Kidmans finest!
I've always been cynical about the supernatural on the whole; but as you describe you cannot escape the 'feelings' when your presented with a paranormal situation; its like your body and mind are alerting / trying to protect you . . .

Great stories, kept me captivated on the bank last night
Great thread. I remember reading most of the posts a few years ago but stumbled upon it again on this new account.
Definitely going to regret reading these though when it comes to my next night fishing trip.
Personally i've not experienced anything that hasn't had some logical explanation (and i hope i don't ever) but my sister and mother had lots of instances over the years.
Something about elephant ornaments facing the wrong way and such things.

Having been a fan of this thread since its inception I had to read it all again the other day. I've always loved the Tony Mile's stories posted here from his book ‘Big Fish Angling' so thought sod it and bought a copy off eBay. It's actually a great book and I highly recommend it.

About 7yrs ago fishing Layfields in Norfolk late Oct early Nov.
So I have the lake to myself low cloud about 100ft and a slight mist on a flat calm lake. So it's about 10pm had my meal and on my last can for the day. It's time to make sure the rods are fine before bed and my last smoke of the day. Out I go and light up and all of a sudden it seems lighter than it was. First though just my eyes adjusting.
Then all of a sudden the light moves and I look up to see a very bright light above the cloud. I would say the main beam was about 18inc wide then spread out. But no sound at all and then it starts to zig zag above me for maybe a minute. Then all of a sudden lights out dark sky and still not a sound.
A couple of minutes later about half to a mile away bingo the light switches on stationary to start with again. I'm now thinking alien abduction and I hope she's fit. Then the zig zaging starts again. Ok it's a drone and someone's having a laugh. Then after a couple of minutes it's lights out again. So thinking I'll have another smoke while wondering what I'd seen. All of a sudden the lights on again right above my head then after a minute or 2 the zig zaging again. About 5 mins this time and then nothing. I sat out for about an hour and even phoned a mate and told him but nothing else.
So yes a drone I guess but private? With GPS or heating seeking? Also a huge search light on it. Or military or just the aliens didn't fancy me. Or did they an implant this memory.
Hoping some of you have some spooky memories or even pics to share.
