Ghosts of the Waterways
THE BOAT gently rocks, water lapping on the hull. It's late and dark. Somewhere nearby an owl gently hoots. Then, in the blackened stillness, the boat starts to rock. A passing boat? An uninvited boarder? Or perhaps one of the hundreds of ghosts, visions or experiences on our waterways?
Maybe you recognise this spectre?. Maybe you know the 'being' you're 'seeing'? A long lost friend or acquaintance perhaps?
I'm looking for stories. Your stories. Real stories. Take me with you. Take me there.
If you have experienced, or know someone who has experienced, a ghost on an inland waterway, I would like to hear from you. Please send me an email at sloughwriter@gmail.com or call/text 0777 466 0557.
