    Perhaps I should post this on the bizarre things to happen thread, but does anyone know anything about ghosts in Merlin Woods?

    In February I was walking in Merlin Woods around twilight and walked past a young female who was walking the other way. She looked unhappy and yet a bit glamourous at the same time. I'd guess she must have been in her twenties. I still remember her face because I looked into her eyes and nodded acknowledgement. She looked right through me. I wasn't in a bad mood or anything, it was just a normal day, but as soon as she passed I was overcome by a feeling of sadness. I continued to walk on for ten steps or so, then feeling like it was so weird and starting to worry about her, I turned and looked back and...she was gone.

    There were no corners nearby, it was a fairly long straight path as I recall. I looked around for her but she was nowhere to be seen. I have no idea where she got to! I googled 'ghosts in Merlin Woods' and came up with not much, except a girl called Mary McManus who fell out of a window a long time ago...:pac:

    Mary was supposedly a maid who worked for the Blakes, so unlikely she would have been glammed up. But maybe there's a Mac counter in the great beyond and she tried to cheer herself up? Sad story is likely whoever she was if she's still wandering the woods...

    Sadly it's been a place where a few people have taken their own life, two I knew of about 20years ago. Was there last week, hadn't been there in years but it always spooked me a bit.

    Litter wise..a lot of broken glass and cans in clearings near the castle, had my wee one with me walking thru trails and had to carry him for a bit as it wasnt safe.

    Just a heads up for anyone who walks in here. Last night I was walking passed the castle/tower house at about 9.30pm. There was a group of 4 drinking there and they started throwing large stones and rocks at me and roaring at me. Luckily none hit but they would have done serious damage if they had.

    I sincerely hope you reported that incident if one hit you and done serious damage to you it could be attempted murder. there was no reason for them to throw stones at you.

    I’d far prefer to come across a few people riding than have rocks thrown at me big enough to cause serious injury but each to their own I suppose.
