Seeing them through someone elses eyes made me realise just how lucky I am!<BR/>I would disagree with Ian from Newcastle in that Northumbria includes County Durham. I have always believed Northumberland and Tyne and Wear formed Northumbria, but I could be wrong!!artyfartykathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10104292155601404931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30877720.post-3757352555367625772007-07-05T14:09:00.000+01:002007-07-05T14:09:00.000+01:00Ooooh!

I have always wanted to go to Hadrian's Wall.<BR/><BR/>You're not alone in that picture, ya know ... the one of you looking out over the moors there. <BR/><BR/>I have lived in a malevolently haunted place and also in a peacefully haunted place. The difference is real and palpable. That was the monk all right, crossing to and fro in your room.<BR/><BR/>And also? I can't describe how much positive energy there is in Ambermoggie's spirit doll. <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for the armchair trip.

I haven't heard any foot steps, but there is always a peaceful feeling when I'm there. I look forward to the next time I can travel to your part of the world (from Canada) to do some exploring.

While I am not a religious person, I do believe that there are forces at work in certain places (cemetaries, churches and maybe certain rooms at the inn) that we can't explain. I echo your sentiment that encounters can be peaceful and not necessarily Stephen King fodder. We had a dog that stayed with us for several months after we had sent him to his Great Reward, but it was a friendly haunting.<BR/><BR/>And now I have to go and book atrip to England.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30877720.post-63717385470664199332007-07-04T16:14:00.000+01:002007-07-04T16:14:00.000+01:00I love it when you go on a trip!

Fascinating about Blanchland, but strangely, no goosebumps. ;)<BR/><BR/>And thanks for a closer look at your spirit doll from Ambermoggie. The only problem is now I want one!
