The Secret of Crickley Hall

[RiaOverTheRainbow]

Did anyone else watch this? Thoroughly creeped out.

SPOILER ALERT!!!

OMG-I can´t believe I did that instead of PM.

Thanks Diddl.

Did you mean to PM that? I'll ask MN to delete it so we don't have spoilers on the thread.

x-post!

I reported it diddl so hopefully they'll delete it soon.

I also reported straight away.

I had C&P from another pm that I´d sent-too much & not got rid of the stuff I didn´t need & just absent mindedly pressed "post message"

I feel awful-hope it´s deleted soon enough to not spoil it for anyone

They've got to it pretty smartly - thank you MNHQ!

Don't worry Diddl, hardly anyone will have seen it.

Phew I can come back now. I saw that you had written SPOILER ALERT when i looked at Threads I'm On, so didn't want to come back until it had gone.

Oh that was quick-hopefully quick enough!

Thank you, MNHQ!

Perhaps if anyone else wants to know, someone who I´ve already pm´d can forward it?

I just saw some names and certain words jumped out but I quickly looked away so didn't properly read anything. So no harm done :).

Just watched this whilst DS2 asleep. The horrid sister seemed to be almost turned on by her brother and the abuse, hence the thing with Maurice. Is the paranormal guy Maurice? I noticed the welts on Cribbens' back, like he is self-flagellating.

I thought it a bit unlikely that someone like him would wander around the orphanage at night in his underpants, so it was obviously done so we could see the welts.

Horrible that the number of times the children get beaten is going up and up and is now up to 40. So glad corporal punishment is no longer legal in institutions. I remember a man in the Jersey abuse scandal saying he was beaten every day at the home and was beaten at school too. There was no escape from it. He was crying as he said it. It was pitiful. Sorry depressing subject.

Some people mentioned the vicar further down - the current vicar is related to the 1940s vicar isn't he? Didn't he say something in defence of the Old Vicar? I think he hates Percy because P blames Old Vicar for not helping the children.

Yes the current vicar said the 1943 vicar was his grandfather.

watched last night alone in bed about midnight and the whack of the cane in the house was freaking me out and kept looking at my bedroom door expecting someone to come in

so Maurice is a murderer and also alive as psychic bloke

so sad nice teacher is dead and that stefan is now waiting for her :( but didnt percy say that only found clothes and not bones in the well, so maybe she is alive ..................

saw the marks on brothers back and wondered who had whipped him

why did percy take the dog?

is cam dead and why stay in that house, why doesnt the dad (ellis) beleive?

cant wait till next week but wont watch at midnight

'blondes dives under covers and NEVER watches scary/ghosty things alone'

I never watch anything more scary than Miss Marple and I felt physically sick watching this programme last night! But enjoying it in a weird way, nonetheless.

I think old vicar has something to do with it, and young vicar has a vested interest in defending his grandfather. Was 1943 vicar beating Cribben? And wasn't it the 1943 vicar who found out about nice teacher going to doctor in London pretending to be Cribben's sister?

I reckon Percy took the dog to keep it quiet because he knows Cribben can't tolerate loud noises & P thinks the dog or the family will be punished.

I think the father doesn't want to believe in ghosts - but he was touched by the hand of a child, wasn't he? I can't believe he's involved in Cam's disappearance though (speculation upthread) - that would be too horrible!

Because of the Dr Who links (3 of the main characters have been in it) I'm imagining some timey wimey stuff and gravestones being different at the end and Percy having children with the nice lass from Blackout.

Either that or they all drown.

something/one grabbed his hand and showed him the journal

wondered if the vicar had anything to do with it

Did anyone else think that the cribbens got abit close last night when she went into his room. and put their foreheads together. Not the usual sort of brother/sister stuff?

or is that just me and my brother that wouldn't do that?

Nope, you're not alone Furball, definitely not a normal brother/sister way to act. The sister is an evil bint and as I said on my last post, I think she was getting turned on when poor Stefan was being beaten and she lured Maurice into the basement.

I thought that too, Furball.

I reckon Cribbens is self-flagellating - perhaps for his sinful relationship with his sister? - and believes that whacking the boys with the cane will redeem them somehow.

If the teacher is really dead, why isn't she protecting the ghost children?

I don't know how, but surely Cam will be found down that well?

Was anyone else really annoyed that they virtually told you the whole story in the trailer for the next episode? Why did it have to be so long?? I thought this weeks was much better than last week. Getting into its stride!

i turned off as soon as finished as read earlier that trailer shows/tells what happened next week, so avoided it

percy said two sets of clothing were found down well, so cant be cam, unless as well?

Someone posted that they'd read in the radio times that the trailer gave away too much info, so we turned it off literally as soon as it finished.

I think Percy "rescued" the dog as aren't animals supposedly more sensitive to paranormal woo? Poor thing appears, to have been frantic in the kitchen and desperate to get out.
