Some of you will remember the story I told before I left. I'm always searching for tales to tell. Do you have a good story(may be true)? Put it here or mail it to me: mariekegernay@hotmail.com(also MSN messenger) If there are enough ghoststories, there is the possibility for making a new ghosttour trough york. With maybe more scary stories. I am also a fervent reader. You can list good books here. I mostly read detectives and fantasy. Legends and myths are also interessting lecture.

I will put something here what happened to me. It is comparative with the ghoststory I told( the ghost of the hand, Roald Dahl's book of ghoststories). before I begin the story you must know that I am living in a little cottage next to our house because of works in my room. If you have the house, next to it is a field for our pony and behind that there is a little cottage. There is my room temporarely. Yesterday evening I watched "the mummy" on the telly. It was complete dark when I went to the cottage. Nothing special happened and I fell asleep easily. This morning I waked up at 7 o'clock because I have to give pingpongtraining. I laid awake for 10 minutes when I heard some noise at the roll-down shutter. I first thought it was an animal but after a few minutes I heard fousteps. And knocking at the other door. By 7.20 the knocking stopped. I stayed in my bed for another 20 minutes before getting up. When I left the cottage there was nothing different from the previous day.
Don't you think there are some similarities with the story? I hope that it will not end up like that with me.

My word! The ghosts of the Roman soldiers in the Treasurer's house have obviously crossed over to Belgium! Beware.... I was also watching "The Mummy" yesterday... I love it! I'm trying to work out whether its portrayal of Archaeologists is better than Indiana Jones or not.... what does anyone else think Rach

This is a true story,not ghostly but real horror.It happened to me.Five months ago I was walking alone about three miles above Edale on a high plateau of blanket bog.The going underfoot was a little sticky with my feet ocasionaly stepping into inches deep peat.I looked up to a far off peak and stepped into space.Before I knew what has happened I was up to my waist in cold sucking peat.There was no bottom to it and my feet desperatly tried to find some purchase on which to clamber out.But there was nothing.I attempted to swim in this viscous liquid but it was too thick and could only feel myself sinking deper.It was past my waist by now.I was near to the side but not near enough to pull myself out.I scrambled at the side which collapsed in on me and I began ,for the first time to despair.It was freezing cold and I shivered uncontrollably yet strangely my legs began to feel really warm.I was just about to give up and felt the bog taking me further down when from nowhere a thought entered my head.Amidst all the blind panic a seemingly calm idea came to me.I had seen on a survival programme what to do in this very situation.Roll onto your back and your legs should float up out of the peat.I did this and ,thank heaven above, my feet appeared out of the black slime and I scrambled somehow out of the pit. This episode actually happened to me and I am shaking now as I attempt to write it down.I can still smell the cloying black peat and its arms still hold me fast sometimes in my worst dreams.Its not like me to be serious but this just shows how close I was to becoming one of those peat bodies archaeologists sometimes dig up.I saw no-else the whole three hours it took me to walk back into Edale,and nobody would have heard my weakening cries as night fell over the vast peat bogs high on the hills above the small town.

It sounds scary to me, I wouldn't know what to do in such a situation. You told it wonderfully. You should tell stories!

Antoine-do you not believe me?After bringing you up and putting food on the table.How could you?I will say one thing to you-cupboard. The place where I was trapped for over half an hour was desolate and cold and I really was in fear of dying there.The thoughts running through my mind were terrifying even at this remove and I was truamatised for many weeks after. I can think of worse places to be trapped,like your cupboard,with you,but there was never any lederhosened person ,male or female to rescue me.Instead I had a weary trudge,soaked to the skin and covered in slime from the peat bog about three miles back to civilisation at Edale.Strangely, on the train back from this hell I met Pete Connolly,the field archaeologist from Manchester uni.I saw him again a few weeks ago in York on the site and then we were flooded out and the roof collapsed and Javier's foot got infected-God help us if he comes this way again.

here another funny story. I told it to a 3 year old boy so maybe it's a bit childish, but I had to tell it 3 times and he was laughing all the time. the biggest farm
Once upon a time there was a big farm. There had never been a farm like that. The farmer who lived there with his family was so rich they didn't bother the farm anymore. The farmer only thought of eating. He was eating constantly and he grew fatter and uglier every day. On a sudden day, one of the pigs was so mad about the missing of food, they nearly starved, that he escaped. he got out of the stables, crossed the farmyard and got to the house. The frontdoor stood open, so he got inside. He looked in the first room at his right, but there was none. In the first at his left he had more luck, it was the kitchen. The farmer was sitting there, with his back to the door. The rest of the family was gone on a trip for the day. The pig attacked!he took a big bite of the farmer. The farmer screamed it out. The pig didn't expect that and went back to the stables. There he told the story to the other pigs. Together they parted again: out of the stables, crossed the farmyard, into the house, into the kitchen. Together they attacked the poor farmer. They were so hungry that they didn't leave anything but the bones of the farmer. That evening came the rest of the family home. They were surprised they didn't find the farmer. But then they saw all the bones. They left the farm never to return.
please make me aware of the mistakes I certainly wrote in this story. It will only help me to improve my English and the story.

some of you may be interested in the way I got home. Although it has been more then a month ago, I recall it as if it was yesterday.
I took the train from York to Londen. Nothing special there. But the train arrived in London Kings Cross station and I had to be in Waterloo station. That's the other site of London. Because I had 2 hours, I set of walking. What happened? I lost my map. I had to find my way through London on what I could remember of the coming to York. I feared I wouldn't make it in time. But I shouldn't have feared. I crossed London in only 52 minutes and had to wait more then an hour in the station. after that I took the train to Belgium and arrived home in the evening without anything special happening.

Hey Marieke,glad you got home safe-I always find I get lost in London,but that is a realy good way of getting to know a place-just to wander around and find new things.I remember once when I was just wandering around in London-'(it' was very warm ) and I came across this wierd shop that sold incredible vintage racing cars worth a couple of million each-it was like a museum really ,but you could buy the winner of ,say the 1937 Le mans race,Buggattis and stuff.amazing.I have never found it again,somewhere near the Albert Hall I think.Ged

I should like to visit London better then just crossing it.
Today I had the best idea in years. I heard someone tell about being kicked out of school and thought:' I should gather such stories and make a big story of it' I have already heard some fantastic stories and I think everyone has witnessed weird things in school. I should like to make a really terrible class, but for that I need a lot of nice stories. It's better to use real stories then imagine them yourself. Because real stories are most of the time worse than you can imagine Help me with it! You can mail them to me(mariekegernay@hotmail.com) or leave them here, on the forum. It's never late for a good story!
