Has anyone heard of any tales of ghosts in Chichester Marina ?

0300 hrs, still , dark almost silent

I was awaken by a low humming sound and an icy chill to the air, I could hear running water

I saw what I thought was my daughter sleep walking in the saloon,

I rushed out of bed as I didnt want her to stumble down the stairs,

As I passed her cabin she was in bed fast asleep.

The apparition was walking around the Saloon, dressed in a long white gown with blond hair, she walked through the patio door curtains.

I opened the curtains to see what was going on but the patio doors were locked closed and the cockpit was empty with canopy zipped up.

My boat was previously named White Lady, but there has not previously been any spooky events ( apart from holding tank self filling ).

Has anyone heard of anything spooky in Chichester as I am at a loss to explain this /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
 
Daka, I think you have either doubled the value of your boat or rendered her entirely worthless. Had you been at the Glenmorangie by any chance?

no I hadnt, good point that must have been the trouble /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
Well, not wanting to cast aspersions. It's just my first question to anyone with a ghost story.

Seriously, what pontoon were you on? If your ghost wanders over to C, I think I'd be straight out of the door and heading for the M3 pdq.
 
Hi Pete

I've seen men in white coats in Chi Marina before, but no girls as you describe. What berth are you on?

I do reckon there's something a bit peculiar at East Head though.

Last summer Mrs Q & I overnighted at East Head, when I woke during the night, and thought I could hear someone else on board. There was this heavy breathing coming from somewhere. I got up to investigate, but it stopped, as soon as I got out of bed. It was flat calm, so not the anchor chain dragging and all seemed to be in order & no stowaway found. By the time I went back to bed, Mrs Q had woken, and could hear it too, and likewise as soon as she got up, it stopped. So we played a bit of a game with it, but eventually we got bored and settled down again and just put up with this heavy breathing (almost snorring) sound. We could still hear it as clear as anything when we woke the following morning.

We overnighted there again, a few weeks later, and exactly the same thing happened.

It happened again on Saturday night. It sounds to be coming from within the aft cabin where we sleep. As soon as we'd settled down for the night it started. We were both disturbed by it several times during the night.

It has never happened anywhere else, and Mrs Q is getting a bit funny about overnighting at East Head again

Anyone else experienced this?
 
Spooky thought for any secondhand boat owners but do any forumites wonder whether anybody has ever died on their boat? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Maybe even in the berth you're sleeping in now /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Praps that's DAKA's phantom white lady?
Slightly off the subject but my mother in law runs a B & B in Devon and she regularly gets croakers (and not all of them due to her cooking) but the spooky thing is it always happens in one of two rooms, never the others
 
Richard, we saw you anchored fairly well over to the eastern side of the anchorage at East Head on Saturday. Swmbo was mortified that I asked her to check out the boat's name with the bins. But that's me, I guess, no better than I ought to be.

did you spend too much time in the sun?

Only from dawn to dusk, but I kept drinking plenty of beer so I dont think dehydration was the problem /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Have you paid your marina fees and harbour dues? It sounds like the first reminder to me - the final reminder is normally a strange chap with a hooded coat and old fashioned grass cutting implement.

I'm not as rich as you, and therefore don't have shafts, so can't be that.

I remember someone got really pi$$ed in the Spinnaker one night, and went back to their boat and died. It was only when the neighbours started complaining about the pong, that he was found. Maybe you've got that berth. They've changed the pontoon lettering since, but would have been on M or N?????
 
I thought this was a nice friendly Apparition, or perhaps even my angel just stopped by to turn the aircon off for me BUT NOW I am concerned

A cross dressing alcoholic /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I was on J51, from the lock Top right.



Line cutters would make that noise but I didnt think they fitted those since early 90's

I agree. I was asleep on C with all the hatches open so keep all aparitions well away please
