Beachcombed 65 November 1, 2015
Author: Beach Combing | in : Beachcombed , trackback
Dear Reader, thanks for all the emails and communications.
The most exciting event of this month has been the discovery of a hidden room in the Beachcombing residence: apparently three partisans hid there in the war. We know where it is, we have worked out how big it is, but we still have not broken in.
This coming month look out for a detailed examination of the Wesley poltergeist case (one of the most exciting ghost sources this blogger has ever seen) where a haunting and family tensions play out in parallel.
There will also be the longest European war of the twentieth century, and pan in the cold fields of Warwickshire.
Thanks, as always, to the multiple linkers: Amanda, Invisible, Chris S, Joan, Ricardo, Wade and others. I’ve put the very best contributions below to the posts from this month: the cream follow here.
