Before i tell everybody about this experience i'd just like to say to Naomi18 ,i did get your PM and thanks for messaging me , my playstation is very limited to what i can do on the net , i did try to email and PM you but it wouldn't let me Sad

This happened in a place called Shirley near Sollihul in Birmingham . I used to visit friends of mine almost every weekend over there and of a night we used to meet up in the local park and hang out. This particular night there were about 8 of us and we got bored so decided to take a walk. We ended up about a mile away and rather than walk a mile back one of the lads suggested that we take a shortcut through the woods and across the field of the local school .

Once we were through the woods we had to jump a 6' fence , but once we were all over one of the lads started to freak out saying that he went to the school and when he was doing a cross country run he was pushed over but there was nothing there . I'd never seen him like this before so i suggested that we take a walk over to the playground (about a football/soccer pitches length away) so he could calm down .
When we got to the playground everybody sat on a wall except me , i was far to intrigued by this to sit down and was walking along the playground's edge looking over to where we had just come from .

That's when i saw them , there were 2 human sized shadows running up and down the edge of the school field and because the moonlight was lighting up the fence this made them alot easier to see. I jumped back and swore which made everybody else jump up wanting to know what was going on , so i told them to look over there and asked can you see what i can see to which everybody replied yes . My freaked out friend started jumping around saying "i told you so" and my sceptic friend was saying "i don't believe in ghosts , but i can see them and i don't know what they are " .They were running one way then stopped , then running the other way and stopping again . We watched them for about 15-20 minutes doing this and eventually they went behind a tree and didn't come back out so i asked the lads who wanted to go back over there with me and check it out . Only one of them wanted to go back over (the sceptic) so the 2 of us set off over the field keeping a close eye on the tree and as we got closer we spread out , one on the left , one on the right . When we got to the tree there was nothing there so we had a good look in the tree using the lights on our phones , nothing . The tree was roughly 5-6 metres away from the fence so if they were people they couldn't have climbed the tree to jump the fence and the fence was so tall we would have seen them struggling to get over (we climbed a tree in the woods to jump the fence in order to get into the field) .

That is indeed an interesting encounter. What is the history in that area?

I know there was a large abbey in the area which has been knocked down many years ago , i'm not sure where it actually was situated though . Monks have been seen in other places but i don't know wether the 2 are related

You guys should go back and see if you can catch something on film...

I've always promised myself i'd go back , and if I can lay my hands on a night shot video recorder i think i will. I've a strange feeling it wouldn't be to hard to get something on film
