Wednesdays 18th february Circle

NO SHE ISNT IS SHE ?? OOOOH JUST WAIT ! LET US HAUNT .....
nope, thats the button with the 2 "A"s and it said HUGE and I clicked it and IT SNOT HUGE AT ALL.

sort of jumping in here to give ya'll a report on the Saturday Circle Feb. 21. DB connected with my dad, as you all know, and since then, I also realized that where I was sitting, behind me on the wall is a picture of my dad and his two brothers when they were babies. my dad is the one on hte left, and DB saw my dad standing beside me on the left side too! I had forgotten about the picture there.

also, someone said "William" and I didn't even think about this, but his one brother is William, and he is the only one of the 3 boys still living. so I wonder if Dad was just calling him?

DB mentioned that daddy was saying he was with 3 children of theirs (mom & dads) who passed. well in talking to my mom, she said that the dr. felt she had a 2nd miscarriage also, but that she didn't even know yet she was pregnant. she neveer told us kids this before--so there you go again-daddy and Dancing Bear were right on!

that little visit from my dad made my mothers day! I had called her immediately, but she was out & about, and so just left a msg. for her. however, she happened to call me while she was still out--something she never does, so I'm sure daddy had something to do with that too! I told her briefly what went on at the circle, and she was thrilled! she called me as soon as she had gotten home, so she could hear the whole story. she was thrilled with the whole thing, as was my sister, who was with her. then, mom told me that she had just recently seen dad walking down the hallway and peeking into her room one night. even the dog heard and saw him! so, he is making the rounds and he is with us all. Dancing Bear just got so much right on this, it was fantastic!

Dancing Bear, you made our day! My sister, mom and I all thank you very much for it!

Hello guys, long time no see?
Ok when i saw the picture, all i could get was a young man about 25yrs maybe, dark haired, no idea how because he has a black cap on, he is thin, standing at the gate, looking towards the house, as if he is waiting on someone, not a groom maybe a horsmane? and stables that is all i got.

OK ! everyone the reveal is happening, sorry to make you wait for so long LOL!!

This house certainly does have a wonderful history..
and I have many more pictures of it.. so it is going to take a long time to write this post and attach everything i need to.. I am suppose to be finishing up house work LOL!!

But this house has been a rectory , ( a Priests Home for a little bit.)
This home was built in 1600's app: it has been rebuilt as well.. whether it was rebuilt in the 1600's or after i dont know.. but i do know what we were tuning into was the original home all the rest around it has been add ons.
It is now occupied by only one person..
the stables have been changed into flats so they are occupied by tentants now, and the back part in which you will see has been addded onto and is also occupied by someone else also..
the part that we tuned in on is occupied by Sir George Beaumont 12th
He has no idea what ever happened in the room..But this house he claims is the only home he has ever lived in that he feels the most Peaceful and at home in.
This House at the Moment is called Stretton House..
But was previously called " The Manor on Stretton on Fosse"
When you google, there is a place that now calls itself "the Manor" , but it is an INN..

I have saved many sites and will post them up.. along with all the history i have found..

One thing i found in common with many of us that have tuned into this home.. and that includes Sir Georges Daughter , that there was a murder that involves the demise of a young woman , many of us believe it was done by a dark haired man, with or without a moustache..
the murder we dont know where it was done.. btu we saw blood on floors of all levels.. the second level to the right is the master bedroom.. to the left are guest rooms, the top floor to the right is a typical attic, to the left as you know is sealed off, with no access from inside..
The daughter has full intentions to open it up when she is able to get back to England.
the lower floors are the living rooms, study and Kitchen, dining room etc.. the kitchen leads to out back.. with two little concrete steps to a small concrete landing.. all uneven and rickety.. the chimney to the right in the picture goes all the way down to the kitchens.. it is part of the oven also.. and the fireplace goes all the way through to the dining room,and again stops back up in the main bedroom. apparently they are massive fireplaces that dominate the rooms.
the three chimneys at the back all stop at all three levels.. One for the living area and study or library, the other for another two bedrooms and another for the upper landing to keep the rooms upstairs warm..
this house also has secret internal passageways that go from room to room..the one that goes to the left top attic room is also blocked off. so for whatever reason this room is blocked off, they well and truly didnt want anyone in there..

and also another thing most of us got was the young man at the front of the house waiting for something..again including also the daughter of the now occupant.. so this is interesting I feel that most of us got very similar things, that we just cannot ignore.. there are no coincedences i dotn believe.. I tuned in prior tot he circles too.. and saw this..
The bored woman i described i was told who that was , bugger no i have forgotten.. i have a sive brain sometimes,, i will find out again,... the woman in the attic is the daughter.. so the link is there...


here the first link is just a little about the area
as you will see the first pic in this website , is of the house we tuned into, you will also see the back extension...

When she comes over and unblocks the attic room TELL HER TO INVITE US ALL FOR THE WEEKEND !
