are parts of durham haunted?

lovemachine

i've heard some stories here and there about durham castle, and some streets around durham being haunted. is it true? or has anyone seen/heard of such a thing?

Well the black stairs in the castle are haunted apparently. Some woman jumped from the top where her room was to the bottom in a suicide bid obviously. That room is now called the suicide room and is no longer allowed to be used as a bedroom apparently. The woman haunts the Black Stairs, but seeing as they were not so slanted when she died as they are now, her feet stick though the bottom. I have to say that they do give off a really creepy feel when you go up them alone, and this was before I heard this story. :redface:

The Norman Gallery where the exec live is also supposed to be haunted but I don't know by who. I have to say I'm not sure I'd like to live there and have to come along there by myself at night. :eek:

I would imaging that being as old a city as Durham is might lead to a whole menagerie of legends about hauntings and suchlike.

I know my room isn't haunted, however.

I liked the look of Cuths some of your 3rd years joined us on our crawl and were really fun. Didn't get that much of a glimpse of it though but the bar was good although the boncers made fun of our pirate costumes. :mad:

Roman numerals well its best to play it when you're quite drunk basically I's are "Oh yeah" V's are "give it too me" and X's are "I'm coming!" :eek:

You say the Roman numerals going round in a circle by substituting the numbers for these words, It got quite rowdy though so goodness knows what Cuth's people thought of us yelling these things out in the bar.
