A couple of years ago my 'better half' had a similar experience at West Kennet Long Barrow. While myself and Dafydd happily wandered about inside she took one step inside and literally ran out. She said she 'sensed' the spirts of people and that we shouldn't be in there. Karen is sensitive to such things although it has never happened to me. We have visited many burial chambers over the years and rarely will she step inside one due to the 'feelings' she gets. The few she has is because she says there is nothing to 'sense' at those sites. More recently, on Orkney, I was in Minehowe with Dafydd and he was very uneasy and wanted to get out asap. Dafydd has been in many burial chambers etc and has never been like this before (or since). This was the site Tony Robinson with Time Team couldn't wait to get out of. Although I was not like that there was certainly something 'different' about the atmosphere inside Minehowe.

I've always wanted to be up there at twilight but never had the chance. Not sure i'd want to be in one of the chambers at that time though. A swallow once flew out at speed as I entered a chamber there, right past my head. One moment that eerie silence, then a noise and this black object flying at me! Luckily theres a couple of clothes shops in Marlborough, so I was able to get a change of pants.

What I want to know Sancters, is whether you ever went back. And if so, what was it like?

It will be interesting if I ever do (I have to find it first again though) because this time I would have preconcieved ideas about the place whereas before I didn't. Thanks for asking anyway.

No that wasn't it George this was a mound, quite a largish one and observed from around 100 yards away, the closest I got to it. I've just been looking on the map and I think we would have been on the A487 and definitely heading east and about 5 miles from Porthmadog. We parked up on the right and the site was on the left of the road a few hundred yards back to the west and wooded.

Just been trying to locate a barrow in woodland in that area, as I want to know where this is now too! Can't seem to find anything, but I am looking at landranger maps on my phone so it's a bit fiddly. Any other clues Roy?

Can't seem to find anything, but I am looking at landranger maps on my phone so it's a bit fiddly. Any other clues Roy? Just trying to remember as this was over 40 years ago :-( The track looked like it was once a road on an estate because it had an impressive entrance I recall with brick/stone piers which may at one time had gates on them. At the end of the track through the wood were two standing stones about 8ft tall, one either side of the track. There was nothing affixed to them they were totally free standing. All I saw beyond them was the burial mound which I'm estimating as being about 10ft tall and maybe 25ft diameter. I didn't stay around long enough to notice anything else and kept looking back over my shoulder as I hurried back. Seems quite ridiculous now as I've never experienced anything like that since. I guess I'd have to drive down that road again to find it but things could easily have changed since then although a recognised burial mound should still be in place. It may be that we were further away from Porthmadog than I'm estimating but we would have been on that road. It's gonna bug me now!

There are a couple of clothes shops in Marlborough aren't there (most of them well out of my price range). What sort of black object? A bat maybe, if it was dusk? A few years back I walked up there one morning - a wren flew out, sat on one of the entrance stones and seemed to watch me for a while before flying off - which was sort of magical. I know quite a few people who have had some sort of 'unexplained uneasy feeling' inside WKLB - I'm not one of them as I rarely go inside. It really does feel a bit spooky, I put that down to suffering from claustrophobia.

Sorry folks. Just seemed a logical question to ask. Happy hunting, and make sure to forward reports! Never had a 'weird out' meself at any of the places I was at, although some feel more comfortable than others. Perhaps that's more to do with the state of mind at the time rather than any extraneous influence.
