Mysterious Cornwall and Mysterious Northumberland Good Writing For; Thinking outside the box
Mysterious Cornwall and Mysterious Northumberland Good Writing For; Thinking outside the box Looking for indications of the unseen or hidden' either hidden by those not wanted to be seen by mankind or hidden by mankind wanting the rest of humanity not become aware of the other links to the world (classified as fantasy by science) and its true history For example: While walking down a country lane with the time approaching midnight attending a night duty job placement' at a particular part of that journey' a feeling of fear and the hairs standing up on the back of my neck was experienced each time' but I held onto my fears and walked on with God in my heart and thoughts to protect me... Years later while at the public library looking in a book called: Ghost Of The Black Country and the West Midlands (I think it was called) I began reading about Gibbet Lane Stourbridge... It said the lane was used for hangings centuries before and these days it is found that while walking the lane late at night one can feel the hairs on the back of your kneck raise up, as it is believed the presence of the ghosts of the hanged men or man can be sensed... The book is portraying the experiences of normal everyday people over the years and centuries in terms of giants (Cornwall) and lepricorns (Northumberland) ghosts and other magical little people or fairies. A Good Read... AlanVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
