    Damn, that sucks. If I ever run across it, you'll be the first to know.

    This interests me because the date of the program fits into my timeframe and I was always a hardcore watcher of anything on the supernatural that was on TV. Some of the shows that were like the one that you're looking for were very, very good and creepy in a documentary way.

    I remember one show from back then titled "The Stately Ghosts of England" wherein they spoke about the ghosts of monks who got wiped out in one of those Henry VIII events...their ghosts are said to still walk in the chapel but since the chapel was rebuilt and the floor was raised a couple of feet, they're still walking on the ORIGINAL floor and are seemingly cut off at their waists.

    Woooo...scary stuff, eh, kids?

    Have faith, though...there must be a copy of it out there somewhere...perhaps still on 16mm film? That'd be a find. Somebody somewhere must have it.

    Best (and good hunting....or is it haunting?)

    Yes, it was pretty creepy -- and they didn't have to result to special effects. Two of the creepiest stories I remember were the Devil at Castletown House and the Black Cat of Killakee. Besides that, the scenery would take your breath away!

    I've never seen The Stately Ghosts of England, but my Dad remembers seeing it when it first aired on television.

    Regards,

    Todd
