Having recently been visited by a local psychic due to some unexplained activity in my home, I wondered of anyone else had seen or heard of any local ghostly activities? I found a few articles online regarding tales of spiritual activity, and this one in particular caught my eye regarding the old Kings Arms pub which was destroyed during the blitz.

Hey come on, you can't leave it there!


What "unexplained activity" ?!


And what did the psychic say ?!

Sue, I've been attending a spiritualist church in Eltham for a few years now on a Sunday, and until very recently had disregarded certain things at home happening. But progressively increasing in frequency I've had unexplained activity happening at home. Including cold spots, movement of objects and the smell of cigar smoke. A visiting spirit medium told me it was the ghost of a man who had lived in the property some 70 years ago and he was an active spirit. I am actually quite happy to have him here, though some people experience more sinister hauntings, I've been lucky.

Voltore you make a great point, and this was my reckoning too. I've always had an open mind towards other worldly activities for years, and having never previously experienced much I guessed it was all load of old s*it. However, since attending this place I've been given guidance over what to look out for, and I always look for the rational before jumping to conclusions. I've had a trained spirit medium as well as other individuals experiencing things in the property and it all fits together.

Not sure you necessarily need to have had a death there for people to experience things like that?

Agreed, I think the alcohol supply is more important

I started a thread a while back on paranormal stuff or something like that - there were some interesting stories.

To answer your question tho, nothing experienced in ED but the house I grew up in was occupied and there was loads of weird shit that went down. Thing is, unless you've seen it / were there, its awkward explaining it because people are quite rightly dubious and if you haven't got a stake in trying to convince anyone (who cares what people who weren't there think) it's just a whole load of effort for nowt.

Er...... So it's only this world that you're closed minded and bigoted to then?


And cigar smoke? How very middle class. You must be distraught.

Yes.

Cigar smoking middle class? If anything I'd have said upper class. Although having said that, I can remember the working men's club in Peckham back in the 70s and a lot of the old boys smoked cigars and pipes.

I have no idea about paranormal stuff, but people keep quoting that 11 people died in the Kings Arms and that just isn't true, even if Dulwich on View says it is!

I have just checked an official blitz mapping website which confirms a bomb did destroy the Kings Arms public house in 1941, however there is no further information on how many people were killed, if any at all. Like others on here, I've been told the stories through older relatives of people dying but I cannot find any factual information confirming this.


Taper, thank you for your reassurance, but as with all belief systems I think we are entitled to believe them whether others do or not. The psychic was not paid, she has been doing it for years and admits herself it isnt flawless, she can only describe what she feels and sees in her minds eye. Whether you choose to believe her or not is upto you.

    • Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious
    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
