If it has heat, I would. Not sure I’d get a lot of sleep but I love these types of homes..:) Lots of stories on those walls.
I know the ones. Maybe this house and garden used to have one? Who knows?
As for the abandoned playground, it’s rumoured that some local residents have seen and heard the ghosts of children playing on some of the equipment during the night. It’s not a place I want to frequent, but I may venture forth one night.
Did you see any ghosts? Heard any noises? Spotted a black cat? Great shot, Hugh! And, you are so good at keeping it wordless. I always fail with that whenever I participate in Wordless Wednesday.
Well, that’s what Wordless Wednesday is supposed to be all about, Liesebt. Allowing an image or photo (not words) to tell the story. I love reading all the comments in these posts as they tell so many different stories.
Thank you so much for the brilliant review you have written for More Glimpses, Debby. I’m so pleased you enjoyed the book. Are you sure you’re not only saying your favourite story from the book was ‘The Jump’ because of the guest post Jane Collins wrote for your blog? I know her post was rather strange, but I’m sure she likes you, lol.
As for the haunted house, it may the one Jane owns in the UK. Who knows?
Lol exactly! That’s why I won’t go near that house! And you never disappoint Hugh. You happened to pick the perfect story to showcase on my blog. 🙂 I was delighted to write the review and point out some of my favorites. I’m glad I got the reviews up on the Amazons and Goodreads and in a few weeks I’ll post it on my Sunday review to give you new eyes again. ❤ xx
That’s so very kind, thank you, Debby. Tomorrow I’ll be unleashing another character from More Glimpses on an unsuspecting blog. That’ll be it then, until May. We can all rest in the knowledge that nothing from the book will be coming to get any of us. 😀
xx
Lol, you’re so funny. But that is comforting! I look forward to finding the ‘unsuspecting’ blog, lol. 🙂 xx
I hope it comes to the UK, Debbie. As of yet, there is no news on whether any UK TV or streaming stations are going to pick it up. I may have to revert to YouTube if that is the case.
I’d love to have a look around in that old house, and wouldn’t mind staying over night! 🙂

Indeed, George. Just think of the stories old buildings and old objects could tell.
Whoa! If I were younger I’d be thinking how to renovate!! Looks like it has great bones (no pun intended!).
It probably needs renovating and has bones in it somewhere, Noelle. Not one for me.
Poor house, so sad. Needs a swing set 🙂
A swing seat, or a children’s playground? We have an abandoned children’s playground not far from our house. It’s a creepy place when looking at it.
I was thinking the old metal two swings and a see-saw people used to put in their backyards 🙂
An abandoned playground? Your next short story? 🙂

At sunset, and bring Toby with you 🙂
Perfectly haunting image, Hugh!
Thanks, Molly. As soon as I saw that house, it had ‘haunted’ written all over it.
Not on my own!
Good answer, Mary. Me neither.

Is it really? Omg the stories one must hear! Nice to admire from the outside, I think! 😉
I agree. Better seen from the outside.
So spooky! I love it! The stories it could inspire….. 🙂
Yes, indeed, Kat. They’d make a great book.
For sure! 🙂
Would love to! 😊
I’ll get you booked in, Irene.
Hehe, thanks! 😀
You couldn’t drag me in there LOL. BTW, loved the book and reviewed on Amazon Uk and .com. Will have it up on my Sunday book review in a few weeks. ❤

To answer your question — highly unlikely! 🙂
Only highly? You’re braver than me, Donna.
It probably doesn’t have indoor plumbing so that would be a no!
I would imagine the indoor plumbing creeks a lot, especially in the middle of the night.
Yes, I would. I could see a nice cozy fire in the fireplace and exploring the many rooms.
Not even the nice cosy fire could warm any of the cold rooms, John. Be a great place to explore on a hot, humid day, though.
Truly creepy 😱
I agree. 👻
Spooky. Not sure if Amanda would want to spend a night but she would be intrigued. Oh, the stories one could write about it.
I would imagine that the house could tell many stories and probably has many secrets that Amanda could try and find.
I think not, Hugh. 🙂
Same here, Rob. I was more than happy to just walk on by.
Imagine the stories those old stone houses could tell 🙂
Indeed, Jacquie. I bet they’d be enough information for lots of movies.
Very cool! Have you watched any of the new Twilight Zone by Jordan Peele? Actually reminded me of your book Glimpses!
As far as I’m aware, it’s not made it to the UK yet, Debbie. I hope it does because I can’t wait to watch it.
Sorry, I forget that you’re in the UK! It’s soooooo good and the second one deals with a podcast! Such a modern twist.
I hope it comes to the UK, Debbie. As of yet, there is no news on whether any UK TV or streaming stations are going to pick it up. I may have to revert to YouTube if that is the case.
I’d love to have a look around in that old house, and wouldn’t mind staying over night! 🙂
I didn’t even dare walk up to it. Just the look of the front door scared me off.
It would make a great setting for a horror story!
Maybe a horror story based on real events, Eloise? I’ll book us in.
Whoohoo! Inspiration at our finger tips – can’t wait lol!
