I’ll tell him......too late now of course, he’s already spent a fortune on simply sorting out his garden wall [emoji23][emoji23]
So you haven't been back in more than thirty years and these incidents seem to have mysteriously stopped in the 1980s. Anything you want to get off your chest?
Are these the woods up behind The Fox, or on the other side of Long Furlong, Worthing side?
North of the A27 and West of Long Furlong.
So "the other side of Long Furlong" per your description.
Meet you there today? Bring an axe.
Axe, we agreed cable ties and a shovel, make your mind up!
Maybe I’m the unpleasant feeling people are experiencing.
If one looks around a wooded area and cant see the serial killer, the killer is you

What's the chances of the FA Cup money being found or even Ulloas penalty ball

That's just stupid. Ulloa's ball still hasn't come back down.

Before I head out, you're not going there today are you?

Funny you say that, I have never crashed my bike, in over 30 years but cycling up by Chanctonbury ring earlier this year with my son, something flicked up. locked my front wheel ,launched me over the bars and I headbutted the ground. ouch.
A part of me will always be there.......
Interesting.
My car has only broken down twice.
The 2nd time was a few months after the first time within about 20m of the original breakdown spot.
On Long Furlong.
I don't believe it was spooks but the references to UFOs are eyebrow raising.
I've seen the X-Files and UFOs seem to have a very bad effect on cars. FACT.
The truth is out there. Coincidence solved.

I tried to do the Bluebell 10K in those woods 10 years ago. Was trotting through the woods when my calf was seized upon by an evil cramping. I screamed in horror and stumbled to a halt. Everyone ran past without stopping to help probably due to their own adrenaline and fears. I was a shivering wreck and stumbled 2.5 miles to the finish line holding one shoe in my hand. I was announced as the last finisher over a spiritual tannoy as the last runner out of the woods and a weird group of half dressed people mulling around clapped my great fortune.
I'll never really know what happened in the woods that day................................................................................ the physio at Coral's said it was probably a bottle and a half of red the night before, cycling 20 miles from Hove to the start and not drinking any water. I don't think he'd read the Wiki page.

My great grand father is buried in the church there, having worked as a farm hand in the area in the 30s after relocating from Somerset.
My Grandma and Grandad ran the Clapham post office during the war.
Grandad was a drill sergeant who was injured on manoeuvres prior to WWII war and never fought.
Dad grew up in the village, before the family moved out to Worthing proper in the mid 50s.
As a kid I spent a fair amount of time in Clapham woods. The annual bonfire night was always attended as a big part of my sister's birthday celebrations.
And during summer holidays, I can remember spending many hours playing in the chalkpit in the woods
I have never previously heard of any of the Clapham mysteries, despite family links going back nearly 100 years.
Odd that I have seen this thread for the first time after posting about my grandma on a seperate thread..
The mystery deepens.......

Your initial post is an interesting read. You make a compelling case.
Do you and your girlfriend stand by it all these years on?
Went there on a school trip in the 70's.
Nothing happened.
Nothing happened.
Haven’t thought of the place for years really.
