Had a good chat with one of the other sea anglers yesterday about this and that as you do and he told me he was fishing off Dungeness point one night on his own which is an eerie place at the best of times. He hadn't caught anything when suddenly this bloke appeared next to him which he thought strange as he didn't hear him walking on the shingle as he approached. This bloke asked him if he had caught anything and then advised of a spot a bit further along the beach where he guaranteed he would catch something within 20 minutes or so, its opposite the lighthouse and there's a gully called the dustbin. So he thought why not and walked with this bloke chatting and got to the spot and cast out. Straight away he caught a fish and turned to thank the bloke and he had completely disappeared, again he hadn't heard him walk off which you do on shingle as it makes a loud crunch sound, just gone the same way he had appeared.
He learned later that an angler had drowned off this spot and was known to "walk" the beach at night.
I know I for one will never fish there at night alone or otherwise! bolex to that for a game of soldiers.
