I thought that I would copy over from there a comment I received from one of my friends;<br /><br />Marilyn wrote:<br />There are so many things I want to question here. Was Yeats' wife called George? Funnily enough I took a photograph of our grandson, Jay, on Christmas Day looking through a telescope at the sky - and there was a dark shadow in the foreground of the photograph that doesn\'t make sense. We\'ve had a few cold and close encounters in our lounge and entrance passageway over the years, which makes me think of the undiscovered Nunnery and Lepor colony that existed in our neck of the woods at one time. Even Phil, my husband, who is a sceptic, has to admit to the unexpIainable. I was recently scanning a good ghost book based on our locality just the other day in Stokesley's Strikes - the Nursery Garden Centre.

Also I'm having to rely on other people's photographs of the places/castle involved. But the research is great fun - you should see my spread sheets; I've hardly scratched the surface yet.Bob Scotneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662958579705940009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-52832031865043157542011-12-30T14:09:59.894+00:002011-12-30T14:09:59.894+00:00Love Yeats - hauntings and all.

It does not look like a very comfortable abode. Interesting and I learned more about Yeats.
