Below are two photographs of the footprint / outline which Shev found on the floor of the Golden Pheasant. What do you think it might be?

"Science and sorcery." It's a quote from a beekeeper I saw on the TV, about how he sees the work he does keeping bees, a balance between science and sorcery. For me it also sums up my experience of life, my interests and my outlook. I love photography which is a perfect blend of science and sorcery, using light and technology to create magical images. But when I'm not taking photos you'll find me making the podcast Weird in the Wade. I'm also often to be found writing, reading, knitting, riding my mountain bike or drinking coffee watching the world go by. By day I fight for disability rights, equality and inclusion for all.

  1. I think the photo of the “footprint” looks more like a slightly bent penis 🤔 🤣 . I apologise for how my mind thinks 🤣🤣

  2. It was great to hear the podcast about Tempsford Hall and the spooky goings on. I worked there from 2007 till 2013 and there were reports then of strange noises on the first floor and when it was quiet in the hall or the large room at the front it had a weird feel about it.
