An account from various informants concerning allegedly dubious activities in the building of the former island dairy.
The bulk is a transcript from the book Alderney: The Devil’s Rock, but with additional updated elements interjected into the reading. Narrated by Ulysses Black.

The actual building on The Val that was once the island dairy, before eventually becoming the island snooker club
For your delectation, the writing up of a very real account of a spectre seen in one of the island’s most cherished drinking establishment, the ‘Corrie’ (The Coronation Inn).
Curiously, this account of a ghost is not the only account we have of the same spectral encounter. Further to this, the pub has a variety of other curious tales and tragedies associated with its past. Some of these are what led our investigation down an altogether darker route as almost revealed in the unpublished ‘Alderney: The Devil’s Rock Vol 2’.
Any more information on this mystery, accounts of encounters or explanations for such are welcome!

An all to real account of a spectre encountered by a youthful Ulysses Black, while staying as a guest of an equally youthful Lazarus Ravenscroft.
This encounter took place within the strange and labyrinthine warren of bungalows located ‘up Alles es Fees’. Curiously, the place name Alles es Fees means ‘lane of the fairies’.

A hyperbolic retelling of a traditional ghost story from the Trigale area of Alderney.
As with any of these stories, if you recognise the houses in question, please do not disturb the current occupiers. They have enough on their plates just dealing with the phenomenon without the pestering prying of curious persons.
