I walked down barton terrace today, I think its Barton Terrace, near 'the secret garden' and got a strong whiff of a burnt out fire. Was there a fire there recently?

Yes, the Manor play park burnt down. Legend has it, the fire can be smelt up to 10 miles away even to this very day.

brooklands was also on fire lastnight

Barton Terrace is supposed to be the most haunted place in Dawlish. Years ago there was a fire which gutted a house maybe you smelt that I have heard other people say they smelt fire there without knowing the history, previous to the two recent fires

It was definately not the playpark - the new "ship" is almost up, all charred remains have been removed, it can't be Brooklands because that was only last night and since there is no reports of a fire I'll go with the ghosts and ghouls. Thats really fascinating!

My son and his now wife rented a flat on Barton Terrace.
They used to leave for work at the same time and go home together. They would find the t.v. turned on bed unmade lights on etc. They thought it was the landlord so changed the lock and put locks on all the windows. It still went on, they ended up living with me untill they found another place.
I am sceptical but there was a strange atmosphere in the flat

did they live in the house that was once burned down olive

I'm sure Olive would have mentioned it if she knew!

Where would one be able to find out these things? I've noticed that not all crimes and things are reported in Dawlish so don't say old newspapers!
