Kim, Where were you then? Had the wind put up me one day, mum and dad were out and I came home via the back alley, noticed the dog was out in the garden with the door open and for some reason I looked up at my bedroom window, saw an old man with longish hair and long beard looking out at me, he was totally white. I did an about turn and 'legged it' to a friends house. I wouldn't go back home till mum and dad got home and then they had to sit in the bedroom with me till I fell asleep. I can still picture that face now! Thanks for the link, I did actually find that earlier and it put the wind up me then! |

Never knew the name of the field but if that is the one that had the railway line one side of it, yes thats it. nostalgia now!! Used to be a club in the summer in a hall at the other end to us, think the idea was to keep us out of mischief! I can remember the horrors that went on around that field at the time, suicides and the such like. Have they buillt on the old brick works now? |

Nan had told me about Bellings, she used to live just off Turkey street and then moved to flats near her sister, I can't for the life of me remember the name of the road but her sister lived in brigadier hill. I used to do a paper round on Great Cambridge road and always hated walking under the subway. Think things are a lot rougher there now (so I have heard). I miss Enfield cause it was where I spent the best part of my childhood and I had all my family around me then. Grandad and his parents were cremated and are at Turkey Street and I still miss going there every Saturday with nan, I have heard that even the cemetery has grown. Oh well I suppose we have taken over enough of Andrews thread :-) But just to keep up on the topic, I am now going to check out all the websites that I can find about the Enfield Poltergeist. Catch up with you later Kim Sue |
