Most haunted
Marzena's back from a wonderfully poetic Poland, and I'm back from a couple of haunted days in Brighton. I've been there often, but hadn't realised quite how many ghosts have been watching my every move down there on the south coast.
I was staying near the famous Brighton 'Lanes'. They were the original fishing village of Brighthelmstone, before the place was made fashionable by the (fairly/deeply unimpressive)Prince Regent in the 18th century. Now, however, the Lanes are fish-free and full instead shops that are trendy, quirky and pink. (And God help any fisherman found there.)
But the Lanes are also full of ghosts, a truth I discovered after going on the 'Brighton Ghost walk' in the company of an actor dressed in black hat and tails. We went from site to site, hearing of nasty deeds and subsequent hauntings.
I'll tell you one or two of the stories. So you may not wish to visit this blog site alone over the coming days...
