Ive just read a post from Steveotalking about a haunted swim on the lake I fish which scared the living daylights out of me. Has anyone else experienced some ghostly goings on whilst on an overnighter?/forum/smilies/surprised_smiley.gif

The classic is the Evening Pitch on Redmire Pool. Tony Miles and other writers have described their experiences whilst bivvied at this spot.

How water in the kettle has frozen solid on a warm September night. How a huge green goggled eyed monster has been seen and strange shadows that have moved around.

Redmire is very old, and according to he classic book "Redmire Pool" by Kevin Clifford and Len Arbury, the dam wall was probably constructed at some time in the early 17th century. I have heard tell that the pool was used to dunk nagging women using the ducking stool. If this was true, there is no doubt that some of them may have drowned.

I have had the odd strange experience whilst out fishing. Once in South Africa, the other whilst fishing the River Leam near Hunningham. The latter experience took place in broad daylight!

My local water has a long history of spooky goings on and many that have reported things don't really believe in such things and were a little uneasy at reporting them. It is a former quarry and we know that a young man drowned in there in the late 60's, two anglers died on the banks in the late 80's and a man gased himself in his car on the car park in 1991. People that have no prior knowledge of any of this or any of the previous reports have told me about things they have seen etc.. The usual time for the occurences is late afternoon or just as light is fading and interestingly they seem to occur at certain times of the year, perhaps around the times that the people mentioned above passed away???
