Myself and a couple of fellow airmen used to go down to the Priory but we never had any ghostly encounters. <br />One thing...I thought that Rosetta’s Roost was the name of the little restaurant/snack bar, not the NCO Club. I could be mistaken on that. I have been trying to track down one of the guys that worked at the snack bar named Ken/Kenny. He was African-American, and very tall (he played pro basketball in an Italian league at one point). I can’t recall his last name...very frustrating.Jstanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00743458922665341156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330782247849166546.post-39718541859398835042013-08-05T16:22:42.302-06:002013-08-05T16:22:42.302-06:00My father was station at Chicksands from 1962-65, ...My father was station at Chicksands from 1962-65, during that time they moved the Officers Club to the Priory. I worked their for 2 years as a dishwasher/grill cook while in high school. The 1st floor was the officers club and the second story was the BOQ (Bachelor Officers Quarters). I heard many a story of hauntings, some of those from the Catholic Chaplian, Father Guy Morgan. Personally I never experienced anything. Many times when a group of officers might have had a few too many you would find them "toasting" sister Maria who was supposed to have been sealed in the wall alive where there is a plaque imbedded in the wass with a Latin inscription supposedly stating something about her demise. Great Memories to say the least!!!

He was the Manager of the NCO (Non-Commissioned Officer) Club which was called Rosetta's Roost and was located in the Priory. He has many ghost stories about her and it is my belief that she even saved his life. One night he was leaving and was locking the front door (inside the little foyer on the front), he turned around and......he "saw" nothing. But something frightened him so badly that he jumped backwards and flattened his back against that big knobby door. As soon as his back touched the door the roof caved in. Approx 2.5 tons of stone fell 2 feet in front of his shoes. I think it was Rosetta that scared him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360708928230994923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330782247849166546.post-35477020859320251272012-10-27T16:10:24.104-06:002012-10-27T16:10:24.104-06:00Hopping through to say hello!

I lived in Europe for several years, and there are many haunted places - probably more haunted places than there are people! <br /><br />Happy Coffin Hopping!<br /><br />-anikoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330782247849166546.post-10902954331711374772012-10-27T15:34:58.251-06:002012-10-27T15:34:58.251-06:00Hi, stranger.

I haven't been visiting too many blogs at all recently as I have been stuck in the writer's cave, trying to finish my latest novel. I'm glad that's over.<br />I really like ghost stories, too. Love that picture. I'm not going to say that it isn't her. I don't want to risk having her show up in my bedroom one night. ;)<br />Happy Hopping!<br /><br />-JimmyJames Garcia Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559119178720751963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330782247849166546.post-87678871844498281322012-10-26T19:05:10.638-06:002012-10-26T19:05:10.638-06:00I see her!!
