Pretty much everyone that lives in or near Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire know this story! Thought that it may be of interest to you lot further afield, the story of our local witch.

Molly Leigh (1685–1746) was an English woman who was accused of witchcraft, died before being tried, and had her grave disturbed following claims that she still haunted the town. The 20th-century witch Sybil Leek claimed to be a descendant of Leigh's, and took to keeping a crow, named Mr Hotfoot Jackson, around with her, just as Leigh had done.

Leigh was born in 1685 in a cottage on the edge of the moors at Burslem in Staffordshire. She was a solitary character who made a living selling milk from her herd of cows to travellers and passers-by. She was an eccentric person who kept a pet blackbird. The bird often sat on her shoulder when she brought milk into Burslem to sell to the dairy. She was known for her quick temper, and the people of Burslem were suspicious of her. This was not surprising as, throughout the country, women, particularly elderly women, who lived on their own in remote places were often labelled as witches.

In Leigh’s case it was the local parson, Rev. Spencer, who made the accusation. He claimed that Leigh sent her blackbird to sit on the sign of the Turk’s Head pub that the parson frequently visited, and that the bird's presence was responsible for turning the beer sour. Leigh was also blamed for other ailments suffered by the townsfolk.

Leigh died in 1746 and was buried in Burslem churchyard, but there were claims that her ghost haunted the town. Spencer—along with clerics from Stoke, Wolstanton, and Newcastle—exhumed her body, opened the coffin, and threw in the still-living blackbird that had been her companion. They then reburied Molly in a north to south direction, at a right angle to all the other graves in the churchyard.

There are stories that her ghost appeared to walk the streets of Burslem apologising for her sins. Further stories claim that her spirit was exorcised by a group of several priests and that while it was successful, some of them died in the process.

Some claim that if one skips around her grave three times chanting the mantra "Molly Leigh, Molly Leigh, Chase me around the Apple tree," her spirit will return. These ghost stories are still told to young children to this day. ]]> General Photo Feedback theraven http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=485101 http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=485100&goto=newpost Fri, 24 May 2013 09:48:06 GMT just been watching the young sparrows taking test flights around the garden, there's about six to eight of them with the adult watching over them and show them were the feeder is what a brilliant sight to see ]]> Talk Nature bruno106a http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=485100 http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=485099&goto=newpost Fri, 24 May 2013 09:44:29 GMT Local camera shop has an ex demo D600 with just over 200 shutter actuations for sale for £1150 boxed with all accessories.

The reflections initially caught my eye. No filters used on this one, as I've yet to invest in some better ones for use with the new 5D.
C&C Welcomed.

About £26/16GB which is fine.

Has anyone got them and could confirm the get close to the speed? Any horror stories specific to this particular card? May also try video on it.

I seriously can't believe only sandisk can make cards that work. I've all different brands and they are fine, except the latest Transcend was a complete flop.

I might also get another SD for an overspill / duplication but I see 5DIII for some reason can't utilise the full speed for some reason? ]]> Talk Equipment daugirdas http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=485094 http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=485092&goto=newpost Fri, 24 May 2013 09:23:28 GMT One day deal only! - The Canon EOS 6D Body (http://www.digitalrev.com/product/canon-eos-6d-body/MTAwMTQ2MQ_A_A) is at £1,159 now!

I just have a question regarding lightroom on 2 different formats.
I have an external hard drive with my lightroom catalog attached to the windows laptop..

I have used this to backup all my files but I'd like to use this catalog on my Mac now as this is where I will be editing the images from now on.

I did read that OS X can't natively write to NTFS formatted drives like the one I am using so I would need to offload all my images onto the Mac and re-format to FAT32.

So after doing this, does that mean that if I wanted to backup my files on location using this same extrernal hard drive, I would have to format it back to NTFS to make it possible?
Seems a bit annoying that this has to happen if this is the case.

Any ideas round this? or do I really have to take this approach?
