I guess you'll have to repent then, won't you?

I was working in Charolotte, NC and awoke to 3 or 4 inches of snow. When I got to the plant the place was deserted, so I asked the plant super how they handle the rare snowfalls.
He said, "We wait".

Is that snow on the wall? It reminds me of the ceiling full of spit wads in Jr year chemistry. :p

what i do remember though is the place was definately haunted. there were rooms above this spiral staircase we would never ever use and the celler was worse. only my dad would go down there to change the barrels etc. but our alsation dog would go no where near it but if the flap was up he would wimper . very odd. there used to be a cemmetary next to the pub , not sure if it still is. and there was also a school and many many years ago - there was a fire and many children died there. there is two or three ghostly stories i will tell you about this pub later. got to log off now . |

thanks sundae girl, lovely pics has broght back some nice memories for me . my mum and dad were landlords of the oddfellows pub for a few years in the mid sixties . i was about 2 or three and have some very vivid memories myself . one thing i will say about that pub is as much as it is pretty ii was most definately haunted . the very upstairs to the property had this spiral staircase which lead to other bedrroms . none of us would ever go up there . realy had a cold cold atmosphere about it . thejn there was the celler itself . my mum would never ever go down there , only my dad. but the odd thing was our big alsation dog would wimper like cray if the cleler door was open and he never went down there or near there ever. from stories i remember , there was a school next /close to the pub ( early 1900s) and a huge fire which killed many children . also ther was a cemmetary next or close to the pub . not sure if still there as i havnt been there for over 40 years. but 1 thing i will never forget was, i was asleep in my bed above the pub i awoke for one reason or another . i looked at my curtains and could see many silhoettes of small people climbing outside my window . i told my mum the next day and she said nothing . but when i was older she told me of the stories of the children in the school fire and that was there ghost trying to escape the fire. another story i remember , my sister and i with my mum were staying with my gran for a little break. my father was running the pub alone . one evening a local said "bill" your kids are noisy upstairs tonight running around . there was no one up there ... we were at my grans . theres a few more little things but my mum will have to remind me as i was so young back then . i do remember playing in its big yard that had horse stables . had alot of fun too. realy nice to see a picture of it now as i only had very vague images of it from years ago . thanks sundae girl .
