I know this thread is getting old know but I just feel I have to add to it.
I am currently doing a bit of work at a firm based in a Building where Guy Gibson and his collegues used to hang out. Yes indeed, it was an officer's mess. The building is a large Town house, probably Georgian. Anyway, I got yarning to the senior partner of the Solicitor's practice that is based in this building and he told me that when he stayed in the building late some evenings he heard footsteps running up and down the main staircase, doors being slammed and faint voices. Now I must point out that he told me that this was around 2300 when everyone had gone home, and the place is up to it's eyeballs in security, being a Sols office. The central staircase is reputed to be haunted by an officer in R.A.F. uniform, and a "presence" has been felt by many staff.
My Grandfather used to be a security guard at Hendon museum. He left because of the "atmosphere". He told me that one night on his night watch he was passing through a section of the building where they had a tatty old British fighter (I think it was a Hurricane) standing static. He casually shone his torch on the aircraft and did a double take. There was a figure of a Pilot in WWII garb sitting in the cockpit.He said that he thought it was a prankster and shouted to the culprit to give himself up. Shortly afterwards the apparition disappeared.
Not very hair raising by today's standards but I thinks these stories get lost some what in my translation. My Grandfather would not talk about his supernatural experiences for years and he is not a man to mince words! Anyway I'll shut up now.
