we have a problem with a haunted house....(honest!) we got a medium in who described a pit disaster, a cave-in she said. the miners had candles, & their language sounded foreign to her--she came from edinburgh & knows nothing of pits, the house is in northumberland...it might hasve been dialect. she felt heat, dust, choking. men lining up, running, digging. she asked what other kinds of mine were there because she didnt think this coal.then she got a crowd of women & children, all standing in silence, facing the same way. this must have been the pit head.the women wore shawls around their shoulders & over their heads. the house is right on top of scremerston colliery, also right next to a tileworks & clay pit, on a map of 1866. there is no recorded disaster at this pit. anybody got any ideas at all on this???it driving us mad !(i was going to haunting us, but wont...) thanks. mary.
