It is explainable - fiction. Is this from Reddit by any chance? A goodly percentage of the stories linked from there I reckon are fiction.
Depends where at happened and where the cameras are. I’ve had a look on street view and it looks like the cameras are further back than the booths were. Although then the booths would suddenly appear. I’m not saying it’s not made up but I know weird stuff can happen.
Yes, as always there are lots of 'danglers' (my terminology for questions you want to ask).
I'm imagining that maybe that was just one roadside booth type thing with some kind of improvised barrier? A sort of 'pop-up, now-you-see-it, now-you-don't' type thing?
I agree, another explanation is a misplaced memory, who knows or will ever know
if so, at least it is original fiction, not a hint of Tom Slemen and not a Native American burial ground in sight...!
That's a fair point nearly every toll booth I have been through have the buckets there is a private one in Cheshire where you pay the bloke, not knowing anything of that part of the world perhaps the tunnel had collectors at one point, however I doubt that they would have been wearing a hi viz jacket back in the day
Sorry, that is what I meant. In that video he chucks his cash in the bucket but you can see the high viz toll booth staff there as well, otherwise I guess nobody would pay.
Would that be possible? I mean getting people in to work and setting up the booths at very short notice? If our ANPR machines are down in our local car park they just lock the barriers open and make it free for the duration.
Even if he was making the crossing for the first time in years (I can just about allow that), surely the daughter would have remarked at the time? If she's at the college, she must have done the journey several times (even if she hadn't started at the college yet, surely they visited and, as I said before, 20 is a bit old to be going to dance college for the first time), why did SHE not say 'we didn't pay tolls last time, it's all done with cameras'?
That is such a good point. No one uses the QE2 bridge to go to London. It goes both north to south and visa versa and the bridge is well east of London anyway.
Are you able to share which group?
That is the Dr Ann Whisper group. She was investigating Liverpool time-slips before our mate Tom Slemen arrived on the scene. Fancy dropping her message to ask her thoughts about the Frank Bold Street case?
Has she not visited here? I’m not keen on private messaging people.
We just came back from London via the Dartford Bridge as the Blackwall tunnel was out of action (and well as many roads for the very ‘helpful’ car free day) but it’s the only time I remember come from London that way.
That's true. It's interesting how time only seems to flow one way. Could it be that the past has actually happened and the future relies on choices that are yet to be made?
I suppose we could argue that poltergeists are ghosts that aren't some sort of memory playback and can communicate. Poltergeists have in fact made claims to having had a life and identity (a French Prince, the old man who died in the chair etc.) but this can never be proven beyond doubt.
But poltergeist claims are always filtered through a human, rather than coming from the ghost's own mouth.
Excellent points and questions that don't seem to be asked by many people, however I sort of believe that many ghost sightings and timeslips are one and the same, the timeslip being a more fully filled apparition for example there was a story of someone saying they saw a woman standing at the sink washing up dressed in old fashioned clothes, why would a ghost do that? Are we presuming the woman is condemned to a life in the here after washing the dishes? Or was it a partial timeslip. I know which explanation I prefer, if you start looking at many ghost sightings they do look like partial timeslips
