The Tale of the Bogeyman: Mr Plimsolls Patrick's Account AUDIO from Katie Lima on Vimeo.


Transcript: Patrick’s Account 1 (Including Catharine)


Patrick: The Bungalow eventually got knocked down, and a new bungalow was built in its place after he die. A really nice bungalow and I remember speaking to the people that used to live in it, Marion and whatever the other fellas name was, he was a Docker and she worked in Barleys Bank. And that’s it, but I think it was haunted…

Haunted how?

Catharine: By the wife that was put in the freezer

Patrick: Yeh..
So what made you think that there was a wife in the freezer?

Catharine: That’s what they all said, there was a wife in the freezer, and if anybody could get in there…

Patrick: No, Probably, people probably said things to the kids to frighten them to keep ‘em in, and said that the Plimsoll man would come get cha.

Transcript: Granddad’s Account 2

Patrick: He was a little old man who lived in Park Avenue, Gravesend, in a dilapidated little bungalow, obviously lived on his own. He was about 5’2” but his back was bent over that made him about 4’10” always wore plimsolls, and um in the summer time he’d come out with a pair of dilapidated shorts, carrying a bag when he’d go get his shopping.
The kids used to run away when they saw him, I think he was harmless. Sometimes he’d speak and say hello, sometimes he wouldn’t, he would come down one side of the road and then come up the other side of the road, obviously coming back from the town, he’d then go up towards Echo Square, and maybe do a little bit of shopping there, you didn’t see him too often but when you did see him you knew he was around, because the kids used to run away
