Good to read your news and that Tas is working for you – at the moment anyway. I hope your health problems are over – it is so exhausting dealing with the health system. Good luck for 2010!

The poems are great, and a lot of comments very interesting, My great Grandfather Charles Taylor was in the search party and was the first to look into the stump, which was about 12 feet high,he noticed shoe holes in the stump and in one was a spur, Chrissi Venn was not dismembered, she was head first in the stump, with lace material and a brooch stuffed in her mouth, she also had Hay band wire twisted tightly around her neck, Chrissi was also sexually assaulted, the place she was taken for the Post Mortem was SEA VIEW HOTEL (River Arms), my grandfather Charles (chick) Purton was also on the road on his horse the day Chrissi went missing ,about 1/2 a mile from Chrissis home. About the Book Suffer Little Children, the person who wrote that in my opinion -wrote it in a way to put the blame on Charles Purton, which upset some of the Purton children, especially my uncle and my mum. All through my life i have heard stories about Charles Purton, and my grandmother Minni Purton who i was very closed to, said many things to me , that i still think about today, George King was suspect due to scratches on his face and hands, and he did not join the search party the day Chrissi was found,

I have read the book Suffer Little children, due to the connection of my Grandfather Charles Purton, in the Court Case, i have copies of the court case,, but lent the book to a person who never returned it, I also lived in North Motton in 1982 and visited the grave, and my sons road their motor bikes past the area where Chrissi was murdered, they told stories of a shadow of a AXE falling across the road, there was a lot of gossip anout my grandfather, who went missing about 1945,and the family never heard from him again,

^^ if anyone has been there it would be extremely hard to loose control on a straight long road. Oh one more thing a friend of mine was taking a video on her phone, a bit of smoke appeared on her screan and blowing noise started and it then disappeared, what’s down at pattson park? We walked all the way down to the scout hall and saw no grave yard?

A few years ago, eight of us drove to Allison’s Road in two cars. Although nothing was seen or heard, it was the most horrifying experience. Walking down the track towards the stump, we were all cheerful and it was a quiet Summer’s night. At the bottom of the hill, four of us felt our eyes water and without even saying a word to each other we felt the need to run back up the hill and leave the area. The other four continued along the road, and from the top of the hill we could hear them scream and come running back up the track. The warm Summer’s night became suddenly cold and the car windows had fogged. None of the last four would speak of what they saw, but confirmed they had made it as far as the tree stump.

Hi There, I am of the firm belief that my great-great-uncle, Charles (Chick) Purton, murdered Chrissie Venn. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has connections to this awful crime, particularly George King’s family.

Thanks

I’m working on a short film based partly on this event and partly on the Gyra Ghost in NSW. I have also recently done a small comic strip you can see here which mentions what I remember of visitnf the site. http://picnicrock.blogspot.com/2011/08/ghost-hole.html
You will also notice it’s full of factual misinformation which I have come to accept as part of the whole “Legend”.
