Thanks, linesmachine. And well-told.
And congratulations on the progress of the pregnancy. Hope it all goes well for you both. How did I know you were a first timer?
Btw, I think someone's waters broke on that posey. |

Well noted. There are a few bits I didn't mention, one being the "bunch of flowers" I can be seen studying in the photo. It is in fact 2 Poppies and 6 ears of Corn. A 7th ear of Corn had been used to tie the bunch together. Someone's also poured water over the naked roots, although whether this was done by the person who put the bunch there or not I don't know. The fact it was clearly still wet indicates it was done recently before we arrived. I'm guessing it might have been an effort to keep the Poppy heads looking good for as long as possible. It was laid on a circular piece of bare earth which is the centre of the stone circle. |

bump
Been a few years since we had some campfire curiosity. Anybody been out under the stars lately? I went 10 days ago but nothing out of the ordinary happened. Unusually, I wasn't hung over the next day, but apart from that it was very routine. |

...actually I've been once in June and were going again in 3 weeks. Also I've started building a website for it www.paranormalcamping.com
It's only really gone live for testing so there's not a huge amount of info yet. Forum is being built as we speak. Feed back totally welcome. |

Very interesting thread! I've saved the paranormal camping site to my list of favorites and I'll check it from time to time for activity. Looks like it'll be an interesting site when you get it up and running!
I live in Texas and we have some interesting places around here to explore. I saw a write up one day on one of Nick Redfern's blogs about a place not far from where I live. It's called The Ghost Road. For years, people have reported seeing an eerie ball of light floating in the air along this road. There are also Bigfoot sightings and even rumors of a long forgotten Indian tribe living in the woods here. I went for a drive with the missus one day, just to go out and see the area in question and I snapped this picture at the entrance to the road. We saw nothing paranormal that day. We saw mostly blue beer cans littered about.

Thanks all. The site was supposed to be almost complete by now but writing up the previous paranormal camps and building the forum and getting news items together has taken a lot more time than we thought.
By the end of October it will be a proper site with some decent content. It's not a money making exercise, just promoting the pursuit of something fun, educational and outdoorsy. |

My kid is now 2, made how time goes so fast. My co-camper Jon had his first at the start of 2012 so now we both have budding paranormal campers who we are hoping to induct next year! |
