Hallowe’en – 31st October

Glen from Gonville

The Haunted House

A new preacher wanted to rent a house in the country, but the only one available was rumoured to be haunted.
That didn’t bother the preacher since he didn’t believe in such things. He went ahead and rented the place and soon the ghost made its appearance.

The preacher told his friends about the ghost, but they didn’t believe him. They told him the only way they would believe was if he took a picture of the ghost.

The preacher went home and called for the ghost. When it appeared, the preacher explained the situation and asked the ghost if it would mind having its picture taken. The ghost agreed.

When the picture was developed, the ghost wasn’t visible. Feeling disappointed, the preacher called again for the ghost. When it appeared, the preacher showed it the picture and wanted to know why the ghost wasn’t in it.

The ghost thought for a minute then replied, “Well, I guess the spirit was willing, but the flash was weak.”

Tin Whistle tutor

Dawn from Feilding

Is there someone out there who could give my husband lessons so he can play the tin whistle please? (He is a singer but doesn't play any instruments) He's very keen to learn. Has his own collection of tin whistles.
