I don't need a ghost tour. The last two houses I have lived in were both haunted.
Same here Bilbraborn,when we lived in Old Basford my daughter was two and always told us about a smiling old lady who used to sit on the end of her bed,even now she remembers her.

Old topic i know but on earliest memories thread dentists came up,and it reminded me of 1969,i was going mad with toothache at 2 in the morning,and drove to General hospital and begged them to take my teeth out,they gave me an address on Mansfield rd and said this Dentist will sort you out,i drove there straight away and banged on the door,an old fella in his dressing gown came and opened the door berating me for not ringing 1st.he took me into his cold surgery and said after examining my mouth,"you have 3 teeth big uns) that need coming out and it will cost you £11,i cant give you any anesthetic at this time of night what do you want to do?
Please just take em out i said,i am in so much pain,anyway he did ,still wearing his dressing gown,it wasnt very nice to say the least,i paid him by cheque thanked him most sincerly and got home about 4-30am.
To my horror about a week later i recieved a letter from him saying my cheque had bounced,after all that man had done for me i was ashamed.I TOOK HIM THE CASH the next day and couldnt apologise enough. could"nt get treatment like that today i bet!

Without looking it up word for word (cant spell ver batum),i came across a ruined lookout tower in southern spain,on it was a plaque detailing its history,which went soomething like this,
I n 866 after the Muslim conquest a seat of learning was established on this site and for many years the clerics studied and taught astronomy and converted locals into the islamic way of life,after the reconquest and the expulsion of the muslims the locals added to the fine architecture with some fine mosaic tiled flooring,it continued as a place of worship and learning for over 200 years,then in 1726 the English BLEW IT UP.
SAYS IT ALL,dont it!
