yes it was the field but not near the tree like people tend to think
there are what appear to be 2 scorch marks the size of feet near the tree and peopel say thats his foot prints burned into the ground
that is part is teh myth but the rest is true
i know somone who saw it happen and from what i remember he ran out into the rain across teh field and was struck by lightening , somthing about 2 girls he knew were on teh field at the time and he was running to help them out of the storm
thats what i remeber the tale as anyway but it was a long tiem ago so things get added and altered through time

Re: urban legends
The unfortunate lad was called Gary Robinson,he was killed outright about half way between the now demolished Queens building and the Cromwell building.Several friends with him were rendered unconscious and a couple were temporarily blinded.I was at the school at the time so it was probably about 1979-1982 .It was very traumatic for pupils and teachers;esp the 2 teachers who tried to revive him;Mr Lowe and Mr Windle I believe.

Re: urban legends
My ex was working alongside the mother at the time and was extremely traumatic, so think best if we get back to the headless horseman that Tealeaf thinks he saw ! Personally, think he is winding you up.

Next time you see him, instead of asking for a Wurther's Original ask to see the photograph.
Since there isn't a documented photograph of a ghost, that may be your inheritance tucked away at your Grandad's.
