That's just crackersGaribaldi biscuits. Uncle used to call them a 'flies cemetery'.

What else could it be?
I have no fear of them, but if you put them in your biscuit tin they will make all of your biscuits taste of lemon (i dont like them) same with ginger nuts.As a kid I had a deep seated fear of lemon puff biscuits. The slightly odd sheen on their surface was what I always noticed, I remember being scared but no idea why they were scary.
My mum does that with ginger nuts - drives me mad as I can't stand them.I have no fear of them, but if you put them in your biscuit tin they will make all of your biscuits taste of lemon (i dont like them) same with ginger nuts.
When that drum and bass music was popular, my mate's Dad said "It just sounds like someone's dropped a tin of biscuits down the stairs?".My mum does that with ginger nuts - drives me mad as I can't stand them.
In my primary school, there was a storeroom - it was mainly a repository for old desks - where I might, occasionally, have to venture. By choice? By instruction? Maybe the horror of it led me to step inside from time to time, just to confirm how evil it felt. Kids do that.
It was a long, windowless place, essentially just a slice off the adjacent classroom; its main purpose appeared to be to accommodate a large header-tank, which occupied the top part of one end of the space. Water-noises would accompany any visit. It did not seem to leak but a dank air hung over the room; it was dispelled when the door was shut. All just a step away from a noisy class of kids!
Did it ever occur to you the reason no one used or mentioned it was because you were the only one who could see it...That reminds me, we had a large stand alone cupboard, a bit like a Welsh dresser, in one of the corridors at primary school that always unnerved me. It just didn't fit in with the rest of the furniture and no-one ever acknowledged it. You never saw teachers take anything from it or even mention it. I was always a bit of a morbid child and was convinced it hid some horrible secret or had a nasty use such as being used to hide your body if you died at school or used as punishment.
I think I have mentioned my fear of the school lost property box before. I am still not keen on them now.

You could have released a few records that way.When that drum and bass music was popular, my mate's Dad said "It just sounds like someone's dropped a tin of biscuits down the stairs?".
This has reminded me of a field, just outside Exeter. I think it must have been visible from the train, but I'm not sure on which line. It was just a sloping grass field with one single tree in it. And I HATED it. There was just something so sinister about this one tree...February 1997. Im travelling down to Brighton by train from Reading. Grey drizzly day. Look out of the window and see we're passing by a large old looking house. Train slows as we pass by the gardens of the house. The large gardens are on a slope and seem quite delapidated. Theres a path running down the centre of the gardens and walking down this path is a 'Lassie' type dog. The whole scene was absolutely terrifying. No idea why. Something in the slow deliberate pace of the dog. So relieved when the train speeded up and left the scene behind. No idea why it made feel so cold abd unsafe.

You should make some and you'll like those. The process is interesting.My mum does that with ginger nuts - drives me mad as I can't stand them.
A factory siren near where I lived as a kid used to scare me. I always thought it was some sort of monster. And I never liked the puppets in Supercar, I just found them really creepy. I was ok with later Anderson shows though.

Aunty's kisses with Aunty's lipsticks.
"Come on, give your ol' Aunty a kiss!"
That's what she said..Are you absolutely sure it's ectoplasm?

This could actually be the basis for a new Bauhaus song!That's what she said..
Satellite view on Google maps (and forum members) helped me find and identify 4 men (trees) - tree men - in a field last summer. Fun and rather satisfying.Odd, because there's a field along the A303 somewhere near Ilminster with a single tree standing in the middle of it, and I love that tree. Especially when we used to drive by it in moonlight.
From our office window, I can see a field at the top of Haldon Hill with a single tree on the skyline - that's not the one you're thinking of, is it?
In the house in which I grew up (a big semi-detatched Victorian place), my parents had a huge, solid wardrobe on the top landing of the stairs. I do not recall - but couldn't swear to it - ever seeing it open. The landing led to a (locked) front bedroom, full of my (deceased) grandparents furniture and paintings, and my parents room. But that wardrobe just ... well ... sat there gathering dust. My older siblings professed no actual knowledge of its contents but thought it was full of blankets, linen etc.That reminds me, we had a large stand alone cupboard, a bit like a Welsh dresser, in one of the corridors at primary school that always unnerved me.

No, I think the tree I'm thinking of is somewhere just off the railway line to Exmouth. I think. Not up on Haldon, unless they've REALLY diverted the railway since I was last there....Odd, because there's a field along the A303 somewhere near Ilminster with a single tree standing in the middle of it, and I love that tree.

I'll have a look later and see if I can find a picture. I think it's up near the motorway somewhere so hopefully not built on...There's been a heck of a lot of building alongside that railway line, so the tree may no longer exist!
