Following my last post about the legend of the Richmond Drummer Boy, I was honoured to be part of a local documentary about this legend by lcoal student Rebecca Smith.

The documentary is now online on Youtube.

Must say a huge thank you to Rebecca for asking me to be part of this, I think she has a massive future in TV ahead of her. But what do you think check out the documentary now.

Today I had the pleasure of being interviewed for a documentary about the legend of the Little Drummer Boy in Richmond, North Yorkshire. If you dont know what the story is about check out my other post http://ghostystuff.blogspot.com/2008/04/little-drummer-boy-richmond-north.html

The documentary is being produced by a very talented student as part of her studies, and I was honoured to help her and be part of this project. I cant wait to see the finished documentary, and once I have it you all will be the first to know.

As for who its for, for now that is my little secret, I don't want to give too much away until she is finished with the documentary and happy for it to be public.

So until then Watch This Space

Take care

This is another tale that both my brother and I experienced.

If you know the Richmond (North Yorkshire) area then no doubt you have heard the tale of the little drummer boy for this and other ghosts tales in Yorkshire I recommend the following booksThe North of England Ghost Trail (Guides)The Supernatural in Yorkshire (Dalesman Heritage)

Now onto the tale.

My brother and I were walking from Richmond along the route that the drummer boy has taken, now my brother and I like ghost hunting but this was never intended to be a ghost hunt, in short the drummer boy was a military drummer who was tasked with drummer underground in a tunnel to let the soldiers follow the path of the tunnel above ground.

Well my brother and I were walking along the same route, and when we arrived at the memorial that marks the spot where the drumming was meant to have stopped when the boy was underground. We heard what sounded like drumming, it was clear as day. This is not a small statement as the river flows right next to the spot and its hard to hear anything.

So did we hear the drummer boy or was it our imaginations, all I can say is that I know we both thought we heard drums.

So if you happen to be in Richmond, North Yorkshire, take a walk along the river towards Easby Abbey and you will find the memorial to the drummer boy. So whether or not the area is haunted is a matter for you to decide. All I can say is if you do go that way and hear drumming, let me know.
