Haunted House?


As ghosts have been a favourite topic of discussion amongst our almost teenagers this summer we took them to visit a local haunted vicarage.

I am glad we didn't stay the night, I don't think we would have got a lot of sleep, it was the sort of house where every floorboard creaked before you even thought of putting a foot on it.


This young man hung from one of the bedroom walls and it is said he haunts the dreams of those who sleep there, or so I have heard from someone who has.


Waffle? Definitely, as the ones served with cloud berry jam and cream in this haunted house were delicious.

Haunted? What a beautiful place...and delicious looking waffles too.

That vicarage looks pale, washed out, and ghostly, but I wouldn't have thought it would bother you; you were bought up in ancient, creaky houses. Good to see a photo of Beth. Those waffles look really good! But then this family has always had a good line in waffle.
Much love to all, Pa.

Nea that is really weird to eat waffles in a haunted house.

"From ghoulies and ghosties, and long-leggity beasties, and things that go bump in the night, Good Lord preserve us."

I hope you can find a use for this old Cornwall prayer.

Hi Lori, it was beautiful as was its setting, but it's a long way from anywhere.

It didn't really bother us Mike and Ann, but it certainly had atmosphere :) and the "teenagers" were easily spooked ;)

It was a bit odd Pat, and miles off the beaten track too, they also do bed and breakfast for a modest 350 SKR, but I don't think they guarantee a good night's sleep :)

Thanks Jake, I'll remember that one.
