Well, we tried our best to move on. We
really did. We tidied up this blog first thing on Sunday 1st November, taking
down the black background and the pictures of blue plaques tinted blood red. We
spiked the zombies, ditched the witches and staked every vampire in every post
until The Daily Constitutional was a blog fit for respectable people once
again.
But some things are just beyond our
control.
Others yet are beyond even our
understanding.
Despite our best efforts, the clammy
fingers of Halloween are about us once more! Despite All Hallows! Despite All
Souls Day yet!
Ahem. That means we got an email…
Dear London Walks,
I was wondering if you could clear up a small mystery
for me? I went on the Haunted London walk last night (Halloween) along with my
girlfriend and we both had a strange experience.
Whilst walking up to St Dunstan in the East
church, we passed an elderly woman of about 80 making her way slowly down the
street. We both thought it a little odd, considering the time and location, for
an elderly woman to be out on the street, but didn't mention it to each other.
At the church, however, our guide told us
the story of an old woman who was killed during the Blitz on her way to choir
practice at the very church we were standing next to… Following this, my girlfriend
remarked to me that the elderly woman we had both seen was wearing a small cardboard
box on a string around her neck (which I had not noticed).
After the walk had finished, we looked up
what this box might have been, and it turned out to be a WW2 gas mask box.
My question is this: was this woman part of
the walk experience (and if so, she was very convincing!), or did we both
experience something of a ghostly situation?
Name & Address supplied
Gentle readers, walkers & Daily
Constitutionalists, can you help? Did YOU see an old woman out and about, dressed
in such a fashion carrying a gas mask case in The City on Saturday night.
Did you take a picture?
If so, please get in touch at the usual email address we may have a real case here for The Worshipful Company of
Ghostologists.
