“Today’s children, unfortunately in my opinion, have little, if any, interest in times past and submerse themselves in the never ending advancements of technology. Long gone are the days of hanging around dark street corners having harmless fun and re-kindling stories from folklore and tradition to keep heritage alive. Computers games and mobile technology have filled the void. Age old stories are becoming lost to the new generations and the story of the poltergeist was just a distant memory for the ageing and diminishing local inhabitants who witnessed first-hand just what the Pritchard family witnessed. The Black Monk it seemed had taken his last bow, gracefully, to the curtain call. The audience of believers was gone and there was no reason for the manifestation to continue.”
