I Love Lowestoft!

Whilst on a bike ride during the summer approximately 5 years ago, we got lost somewhere around Somerleyton, but between the river and rail lines, there were 6 of us in total.
Whilst contemplating, one of our friends 'Fairy' and 'Wally' who'd taken their time catching up suggested "Why don't we ask the man walking along the rail lines"
"erm, what man?"
"the one with the hat on..."
"oh...he's gone"
She said he looked like a skinny version of the fat controller, Wally confirmed he thought he'd seen him too. None of us could find him, and from where we were, there was little time for him to get out of sight, if at all....
A ghost perhaps?
Fairy is too blonde to make something up.

Smeg that, i'd have had the little old dear from poltergheist round exorcising the demons!
Smileyt, beers may well have been a factor, but why cloud a story with facts that discredit you lol!
Anyone heard about the one where you flash your lights near the telephone box on the way to Blundeston from Oulton? Apparently, if you do so, at precisely 11pm, you'll die.
I'm still here though.
I don't do ghosts.

I would wish for one but alas I still have the scotch from seven years ago and have only just finished the bottle I opened when all the family were here last
About 18 months past.
and when working Im dry because of random D & A testing and an engine room is no place to be with a hangover or even a beer head.
Boring ? Yes I probably am...

Although I live in Lowestoft, I have run a small business from Long's Industrial Estate in Gorleston getting on for 29 years or so. My original workshop occupied a ground floor room within Humberstone House in Englands Lane, which later became the offices for Long's Dairies. When my business first started in late 1981 the main office block (once part of Matthes Bakery) was unoccupied for a number of years until Long's staff moved in. I nonetheless had access to the offices where a kitchen and toilet facilities were available. The toilets were situated on the unoccupied first floor and the kitchen on the ground floor. During the early years of my occupancy two of my three sons would sometimes come to Gorleston with me, in the evenings, to help me with any odd cleaning/painting jobs in the workshop. My middle son (then around aged 12 ) didn't like going upstairs to the toilet as he thought the place was really 'spooky' and always felt there was a presence there. A few years later when working alone in the building one evening I was in the kitchen area and observed a 'ghostly' figure passing the kitchen door. It was that of a man dressed in a long tailed coat. When I looked to see where this figure had gone to - there was no one there. There was no noise of any doors opening or closing! When Long's staff moved in, I mentioned this to them, and four people reported seeing this 'ghost' over the ensuing years. The evening cleaning ladies refused to work in any office alone!! Now that Long's Dairies has been sold to Dairy Crest the site is still owned by the Long family, who rent out the office rooms to small businesses such as mine. I have now moved from my original workshop and now occupy one of these old offices. The office block stands on the site of what was once a row of terraced houses in Englands Lane, these were demolished to make way for the then Matthes offices. My office looks out onto Englands Lane and is opposite some terraced houses. ( No's 44 and 46 ). Humberstone House itself is numbered 47. I therefore occupy the space where No. 45 once stood. My office occupying the space where the upstairs bedrooms would have been. I have for many years been a keen family historian doing research into both my wife's family and my own Scottish roots. My middle son, mentioned above, has also researched his wife's family. You can imagine how astounded he was when he discovered (from census information) that his wife's great grandparents once lived at No 45 Englands Lane!!! He jokingly tells his wife of his early 'spooky' feelings about the building and poses the question - Was 'someone' trying to tell him something?
I haven't seen the 'ghost' for quite a number of years!
