Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me with some information regarding a haunted house in Church?.
Reports I have found from the Accy Observer suggests a house on Queensway at Church suffered paronaomal activity, this was around I believe 1993?.... I wondered if anyone knows the number of the house and if anyone has any further knowledge?.. Thanks in advance for your help

According to the observer, it was a semi detached. There are only two semi`s on queensway, all the rest are in rows of four. I don`t know which one of the two it is though.

Theres only one block of semi detached on Queensway and 10 Quasi semi's and I know the people living in them two and they have been there for years so the dates dont match so I think it would have been a quasi semi we are talking about...
Any info on the web seems to be just a copy and paste job from the Observer...

A mate of mine lived on there a long time ago (before I was mates with him) he had similar stories to the one in the observer. Don`t know exactly which house it was, but I think it was 1/2 to 3/4 way as you go up. I`ll ask next time I see him.

Must be fifth one then, sixth isn`t a semi.

Just had a text back from my mate, he lived at number 16. Can`t make out the numbers on google maps to see if it`s the same house.

latheaxe · 26-10-2013, 22:08

So from the info from both of you it was either number 10 or 16??

gpick24 · 26-10-2013, 22:15

Where my mate lived is definite, it was 16. Not necessarily the same house as reported in early 90`s. But it seems they are the same row of 4 houses. Perhaps the ghost likes to wander.
Can I ask, why the interest?

latheaxe · 26-10-2013, 23:12

Well it looks like no 10 then... Regarding the interest, I live on that road, we have lived here for around 12 years but a few things have been kinda happening lately so decided to have a look round the net and I found the story....Just checking what house it was....

gpick24 · 26-10-2013, 23:23

Not a believer myself. I`ve lived in a "haunted" house, the only people who saw anything, were the ones who wanted to.
Are you close to No. 10.
A family lived at No. 8 for a long time (Varleys, not there now I don`t think) and another mate lives on there close by with no problems.

latheaxe · 26-10-2013, 23:42

No not number 10 and no 8 is empty at the moment and has been for quite a while...

gpick24 · 26-10-2013, 23:53

Previous occupants of No. 8 lived there since the 80`s at least. Kids grew up and moved out (I remember Neil Varley lived there), Pat, his dad, died a few years ago. Pats wife moved out a while after, don`t know where she moved to, Another mate lived at no. 6 and was friendly with Pat. No mention of any spooky goings on from that side.
