What's things have you found on a job behind boxing or under floors?

That's what I call a wasps nest!!

 

[Qwerty]

Found a really old coin under floorboards once and also a small diamond in between floorboards in a Victorian property. Both handed back to rightful owners

Owner got £500 for the diamond.... I got a decent tip too

I would of ran a bluddy mile if theres onee thing i dont like its bees and wasps.

 

[stusgsx]

Haha think the wasps were long gone

 

[Dan]

Don't mind bees but I hate wasps. They serve no purpose but to chase you in beer gardens and make you look like you're practicing poor karate.

i was doing a job about ten years ago in a private abbey in essex .
one of my guys was walking past a stone casket outside pareallel to the chapel wall and knocked the corner.
the stone lid split and and fell off revealing a chap who looked like he needed a good nose bag.
we replaced the stone cover and carried on as if nothing had happened!

I used to do a lot of work for Royal Mail, the amount of stuff stashed behind mirrors and above ceiling tiles was unreal!!

now thinking about this, had the most bizarre experience of my life last year.
will try to keep this short as i know i waffle but if any interest shown can give more detail.
a friend who was living at a site that a developer had bought whilst planning approval came through had been hearing strange noises and feeling presences.
planning came through and developer knocked house down . they made a huge fire out the back from timbers and my friend took a video and photos of the fire which was so big the fire brigade had to be called in.
thinks nothing of it till he looks back at the video of the fire .
right next to fire is a man in army uniform which is impossible as fire so hot.
when video man moved closer to fire the army officer drifts back in to the background and dissapears in to the trees as if floating. uniform very clear but facial, hand features blurred.
my friend did not see any of this when taking video but came up when replayed .
i and many of us have looked at this and were gobsmacked.
he contacted the sun and they were very interested but wanted him to hand over the photos.
he had not told them about the video .
i went home and looked on you tube for ghost videos and there was nothing close to what i saw .
i have now changed my views completely about this sort of thing.
my wife is vietnamese and i hear many stories when we go out there re soldiers killed and their ghosts been seen on land being built on and have not really believed much of it but now i really do.
turned out the owner of the house before daughter lived there was a major which was clearly visibile on his uniform . he died there and an army trunk with some of his belongings were found
in the shed that had been moved .
what do you think of that

I have to say that ghosts don't exist other than in the mind and I'd love to see that video.

It's impossible for a ghost to exist. We genuinely don't have spirits. We live, we die, we get buried or burnt, and that's it I'm afraid, that's the end.

We borrow a tiny little bit of time from the universe and it takes it all back when we go, other than memories in other peoples minds.

 

[jonnyc]

dan what you mean to say i hope is that you do not believe a ghost exists rather than the finite it does not .
i was not as certain as you until that time but pretty sure in my mind . this experience changed eveything for me .
i dont profess to understand what i have seen but i believe it to be true.
i was at the magic circle last week for an xmas do for our extended family and i am not in to magic and this was great but what i have seen is beyond anything i have seen before.

No disrespect dan, but NO ONE knows this, how do you know that theres no where else ?
Its like saying aliens or beings from another universe don't exist, NO ONE knows , theres absolutely no way of finding out.
Well, unless your derek accora
