The Haunting of Avebury

The Haunting of Avebury
The Red Lion is said to be haunted. There are many tales of unusual things happening in the pub.
Indeed, it is claimed that the whole of Avebury is haunted. There are many accounts, but one sticks in my mind quite vividly.
In the early part of the last century, Edith Olivier was driving through the stone circle when she became aware of a fair being held amongst the stones.
She later discovered that there hadn't been a fair like the gathering she saw for over fifty years.
Maybe time has a bit of elasticity.

Just a note concerning the packed perspective effect in this picture. It was taken using a Nikon D2Xs with a Nikon TC-16A teleconverter and a Nikkor-H Auto 300mm f/4.5 lens dating from around 1971. That gave a focal length of 480mm which with a cropped sensor gives the equivalent field of view of 720mm. Using it was fun but carrying it around with a monopod was tiring.
