Attachments : The season starts! The First Crop Circle of 2007 in the UK The first crop circle of the UK season has appeared in an oilseed rape field at Oliver’s Castle, which is close to the town of Devizes in Wiltshire. This formation was reported on the 15th of April 2007 and is about 333 feet in diameter. The crop is short at 4 feet high (approx) A good percentage of the crop is now recovering to its original upright position after being flattened. First reports suggest little damage to the plants.

More about the location of this crop circle Oliver’s Castle is (according to Miller and Broadhurst’s book ‘The Sun and the Serpent’) is one of those spots where the country-traversing Michael and Mary Leys cross each other. It’s also a focus UFOs and crop circles – a quick google will transport you into the convoluted discussions about a video that was allegedly shot there in 1996, showing supposed balls of light flying about a crop circle. Headless Ghost.–On Roundway Down a headless ghost is said to walk. Some years ago a shepherd declared that he met it, that it walked some distance by his side, and then vanished. The gentleman to whom he told the story asked why he did not speak to the ghost. “I was afraid,” he replied, “for if I hadn’t spoken proper to him he’d a tore ‘un to pieces.” A barrow is near the place, which was excavated some time ago, when a skeleton (not headless) was found. Since the barrow was opened the ghost has ceased to walk. The camp was more anciently called Roundway or Rundaway Castle, and its present name of Oliver’s Camp or Castle seems to have arisen out of a popular tradition that Oliver Cromwell occupied, if he did not actually build, the camp. The only foundation in fact for this tradition is that the battle of Roundway in 1643 was fought on the neighbouring Downs, when some of the combatants may have been posted close to, if not actually within, the boundary of the camp. Cromwell himself was not present on the occasion, but the fact that Cromwellian troops fought on the adjacent Downs was quite enough to give rise in the course of time to the popular association of the camp with the name of the great man himself. Cromwell has always loomed large in the imagination of the people, and it has been said that he has achieved an unenviable notoriety only second to the Devil himself.   …….   Best wishes!   Steve & Karen www.temporarytemples.co.uk         — FranK Ða Silva :: HÿÞêr§ÞΛcΞ ΞxÞlorêrDMT-Labs: www.cybernest.infoPA…: www.wavespell.net
