 ~A Shade for Grey~

Tucked away in the county of Antrim,
Northern Ireland beautiful beech trees
thought to be around 300 years old

According to local records, James Stuart
planted the 150 beech trees in 18th century
to impress guests as they approached his
splendid property, Gracehill House

Legend tells the spirit of a maid, who lived
in neighboring mansion died in mysterious
circumstances hundreds of years ago,
haunts this country road still

"Grey Lady" silently floats along the road
and quickly disappears as she reaches
the last beech tree
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Call it Paranormal or Supernatural,
do we cohabit...just on different
planes until Revelations comes about

See you on the other side someday..
Believe, Disbelieve or just Indifferent

Tend to believe this is true, I saw my Father at foot of my bed a few days after he passed on, and sometimes my 2nd hubby comes to me in dreams = like it's so real too.

Every corner of Ireland has its own tales of the supernatural. Gracehill is in the middle of nowhere and it would be surprising if there wasn't at least one ghost. Nice little tale just the same. I believe JS was what is known locally as a "Planter" (colonist to you and me.)

Ah yes for we are her in our dimensional world...
and yes we do transition... she is there as so are
many others... but naturally I know these things...
seek the beauty they already know and revisit here
where we sometimes are fortunate enough to see it for
our-self...

Beautiful history and truth so many do not wish to witness...


Love and Light

when i was growing up in Ireland, Vivian,
so so many of these stories and happenings
surrounded me; in today's Ireland there are
considerably fewer of them - the country, the people
and the values have changed radically and i daresay
we are the poorer for that; here in Singapore, hundreds
of these stories abound and Russell Lee, a local writer,
has collected them in 22 volumes and counting!! they make
great reading on wet afternoons.


Thank you for sharing

Shades of a best-selling novel title! ;-)

Much enjoyed the story, although the ghost of the maid is probably just morning fog. I'm sure that the man of the house had an affair with her that he conveniently covered up. Much easier in those days than today. The ghost was probably his conscience getting the better of him or rumors about what happened from others that knew what was going on.

I'm to the point I will tend to believe most anything when it comes to the spiritual or paranormal, or supernatural since the day after my wife died and myself and my dog both heard her speak, "Honey," from another room. My dog went berserk and I freaked out. Of course when we made it to the other room, she wasn't there. But we BOTH heard her call out "Honey." Hasn't happened since, but it happened then. If I had been by myself I might have chalked it up to something other than what it was. But my dog heard her too.
