I have an interesting piece of Africana in front of me, a collection of ghost stories published/printed by George Allen & Unwin, Ltd. London and Howard.B.Jimmins 58, Long Street Cape Town.
The Foreword is by Eric Rosenthal and dated 1949. I live not far from this area and would get a big kick out of finding the place mentioned in this tale. I have no interest in seeking out the paranormal but anyone familiar with this tale will realise that the anniversary of the event was yesterday... did you notice the nice Thunderstorm early in the morning of the day in question
I have found a web link to the story for those who are curious. It has none of the flavour/charm of the version in my book and has been shortened and censored but gives a reasonable sequence of events.

Soooo.... anyone got any info on how one can get to Prinsloo's Kloof. First one to get there should post a photie here
