If you ever want to be scared witless in the dark..........
..visit here
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardraw_Force
Even the most cynical unbeliever will find it hard to spend more than a few minutes alone there in the dark.
I have camped there many times, and in daylight a more tranquil place you will be hard pushed to find.
The deep pool is freezing but very welcome for a dip on a hot day.
Once dusk descends however, unless you have bowels of steel do not go near the waterfall.
I have camped alone a lot, and been to a few places that change their nature after dark, but this one is right up there.
I have seen, heard and felt things there that have turned my innards to icy water.
I have watched hairy arsed bikers flee back to the safety of the campsite behind the pub and sit shaking in fear.
Over the years everyone I know that has been there at night has had a tale of terror to relate.
Funnily enough once you are about 50 feet away from it, the 'presence' isnt there.
Once camping there with a bunch of people, the stories were told and a few decided it was bollocks and went to see for themselves.
We built up the fire and got the whisky ready, and sure enough back they came white and trembling.
Havnt been there for a few years now and wonder if its still the same.
If anyone wants to go check it out, do please let me know what happens ;)




edit
it would seem the pub itself also has a ghost

You great flouncing Mary.
Hardraw Force is about as scary at night as my left ball.

Is it free at night
Because during the day you have to pay a fat guy on the chair several pounds-sterling to gain access.

And he gave us change from the biggest roll of bank notes I have ever seen.

It could be
if you are in the pub and wander out the back ;)

not been at night...
but in the day scrambling about near the top of it having become newly registered blind due to central vision loss was pretty unnerving. Good job I trusted my guide.
When there's been a spring storm the water is the colour of cola. Amazing. Not been there for many years sadly.

I shall let you know how I get on.
