Ahh the memories of torturing him when he began teaching us having just qualified.

i'm fairly new to this site and ive been reading a load of the archives about the stocksbridge bypass.

 

Im very interested about the exitance of ghosts and in particular the Firth Park old building Brushes (because it is very near to me).

 

I read in the Star when they first started pulling the old building down that the builders refused to proceed until they had a exorcism ( you have to excuse the spelling there).

 

I felt that that was wrong!!! if it was haunted, then it was haunted for a reason, and if the exorcism didnt work it will be interesting to see whether the ghost (Norma i think she was called) will still be ocuping the new building!!

 

I just wondered what everyone elses view are!!!

[jiminy_crick 10]

hmm, ghosts... honestly? Sounds to me like a typical builders excuse not to do any work. Some people make a lot of money out of making people believe in this kind of thing, in this case exorcists...

[saxon51 10]

Why exorcise the poor old girl?

Come september she'd be the proud haunter of a 6th form college and all the students thereof.

Ghost amongst the living dead methinks.

 

Joking all you prospective 6th formers. Good luck to you all.

I was originally brought up on the Shiregreen - Sicey Avenue - and went to Firth Park School.

 

I was told of this ghost when I was at that school.
