Lee CalvertHOST
That reminds me, the first time I ever went abroad to Spain in 1984, that was being played wall to wall in the discos, I remember, in the junior discos I was in as an eight-year-old.
Lee CalvertHOST
Spent the entire time complaining that I hated it and I wanted to be back in Newquay where I'd been the year before.
Lee CalvertHOST
Also, flatly refusing not to wear socks.
Lee CalvertHOST

Darren MarlarHOST
Keen historian and researcher Barry West from St Austell has been researching a 17th-century ghost story involving an ancient Cornish family and a sad end for an unfortunate woman.
Darren MarlarHOST
Barry told the Post that his journey with this particular tale came about after a mother of a child at a primary school in the New Quay area had asked him if he knew of any Cornish mysteries, after the school carried out a series of Cornish history sessions.
Darren MarlarHOST
He said, ''This all started for me when a woman who had a young daughter who was doing history in her school asked if I could help find a Cornish mystery, so this is a new story for me too.'' Dorothy Dingley, whose surname has also been referred to as Dinglette and Durant, was believed to have been well acquainted with an ancient family who lived at Botethon House in the parish of South Petherwen, the Bly family, who were wealthy but not aristocratic farmers.
Darren MarlarHOST
It is thought that Dorothy had fallen pregnant but had tragically died during childbirth, in 1662, with the eldest Bly son suspected to be the father of the baby.

It's 1872, Crantock, just west of Newquay, Cornwall.
Nat DoigHOST
A village nestled beneath the headlands of Pentire and West Pentire, with the Ganel Estuary emptying into Crantock's wide and sprawling beach.
Nat DoigHOST
The river at this point is a dangerous place of deceptive currents and tricksy tides, where sandbanks funnel the water in treacherous ways.
Nat DoigHOST
I hope to never hear anything of its kind again.
Nat DoigHOST
Sarah has heard tales of the Ganel Crake since childhood and they fascinate her.
Nat DoigHOST
It is common knowledge in Newquay, Crantock and the Pentires that the Crake is a warning.
Nat DoigHOST
An elusive sound that those who hear it wish to never hear again.
