We went to see the Quiraing and the old man of Storr. They are not standing stones in the sense that someone put them there but Lewis and the Callanish Stones is next on the list. I found a man who carved me a wonderful staff. I energised it at Niest Point. I will write about that later, work beckons. I adore Scotland. Have you read the article "Strange Tales from Scotland's Stone Circles" at whatliesbeyond.boards.net/thread/8188/strange-tales-scotlands-stone-circles ? Have you been to the Ring of Brodgar or Clava Cairns? If I ever go back to the UK, I definitely want to visit Clava Cairns. It's very spooky looking from the pictures I've seen. Do you know anything about it other than what's in the article? I'll bet it's even more spooky close to Halloween when the trees are turning.

Do you use the wand when you visit stone circles?I am a novice to ritual, but I am now in a position to set up an altar. Any nature appeals to me. The only stone circle I have visited is a really obscure one on Ilkley Moor that is said to be guarded by an entity. It is a really powerful place. www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=7285

Here’s a summary of the day we visited Borley during our 2009 trip to England. Hope you enjoy it. The lady at Borley had a lot more to say about Marianne Foyster, which I omitted from my daily journal, but if you’re interested, I’ll be glad to post what I can remember.
Norfolk - Day 4 23 September 2009, 9:30 p.m. Today was overcast, but the temperature was still in the 60’s until dark and I guess it’s going down into the 40’s tonite. The temperatures on signs are in Celsius and, apparently, no one cares enough to try to convert it.
I've seen a few references to a trip some of you made to England. Are any of you planning any future "haunted" trips? If so, I'm interested!

We spent an entire month in England from mid-September to mid-October. We flew into London and we had chartered a bus that took us up the coast to Norfolk, then Whitby, then to Cumbria, then down the western coast to Cornwall, Devon, etc. We spent 3 or 4 nights in each location and had a really good time. But a month was too long, so if I ever take another trip like that, it's not going to be any longer than 2 weeks. After that, we went on a Rhode Island Vampire Tour, but it was only around 2 weeks. I wouldn't mind taking another England tour to see some of the things we missed the last time, like Haworth, where the Brontë sisters lived.

We went to some haunted places that I never thought I'd see and I learned a lot, but packing up and moving on to another location every 3 or 4 days got awfully tiring. Because I'd never been to England, I wanted to do everything. I don't believe I slept in like some of the others did even once. Like the day some of us went to the Tower of London, about half of our group had been there before, so they slept late. Toward the end of the trip on the way from Dartmoor to Sussex, I fell asleep on the bus and missed all the great scenery. I would love to take another trip, but not for an entire month.

Thanks Madeline and Serena. I wouldn't want to take a month-long trip because it would be hard to take that long off from work. Something like 10 days or maybe 2 weeks would be OK. Please keep me in mind if you plan any future ghost trips. I live in Washington state.
