Are pine trees prickly? difficult to build nests in?

That's a good reason birds avoid nesting there, but what about scavenging for food, or do birds not go into pine woods for any reason?

would it be the smell? i dont know choc to be honest, i shall have to google it!

I think Andrea is right,  Just about every possibillity has been covered. One of these theories has to be the right one, I'm thinking that we may never know which

Possibly because there is not much food in a pine forest. In a deciduous wood there are all sorts of grubs and things. It is an eerie place a pine forest. Almost completely silent. They lend themselves to legends such as werewolves etc.

Clapham woods i dont think are pine, i know where the pictures are i took, i overlook a pine wood birds are in there many a time woken up by owls, Clapham woods are a site of pagans /witches, very strange place there is supposed to be a crater in there but ive only been in the part outside the village church.

Clapham wood is an old wood and therefore are likely to be deciduous trees. Most pine woods are new woods and are not native to England. The reason you see owls coming and going from a pine wood is that there are both squirrels and mice in there. The only reason you get those rodents in a pine wood is because there are pine seeds there. Squirrels and mice are the only ones who can extract them from the cones. You will often see pine cones in a pine wood that have been eaten away.
Just why there are no birds in Clapham woods I can't answer? When my friend came up from Cornwall once we went into a wood near me and we noticed that Jays had been hung on trees. This indicates a shooting wood. He remarked to me in disgust, "Why is it that every wood round here is a shooting wood?". Could this be one reason for no birds do you think? Just a thought.

Darren Brown is an illusionist. I remember Paul Daniels commenting on his own tricks and saying that the trick itself is very boring when you know how it is done. The mystery is in how you present it.

Can anyone else on this site "read" people?
Also can anyone else on this site "read" places?
By reading people, I mean having knowledge of
whether a person is good or bad, whether or not they have
been involved with bad people or not.
By reading places I mean,for example, as a small child, my Great Aunt took
me to the playground of the town in Cornwall where she lived.
I sat on the swing and told her "this is a place of death".
It turned out that the swings were on the site of the old slaughter house.
Now, I have no rational explanation for that at all.
Also I did not live in her town.


Also, I stood to gain no money from it.

But I knew it!

Sometimes, I have known things about people I have been introduced to and never met before.
The other odd thing is that once, I have actually told someone that I could "see" they had been "very
close to darkness" and the person said "Yes, I have" and it turned out that this person had been lured
into crime and done some time for it due to a person that they had met.
In my minds eye I could "see" a darkness surrounding her as we were introduced.
I could not believe that I had made my comment out loud, but I had.
I try very hard never to do that.

So I don't believe that all people who have knowledge of things that others don't understand
are necessarily trying to fool others deliberately.

But probably most of them are not on T.V.

They are more likely to be a neighbour or someone walking along the street, or a child on the swings.

I can't explain that and many things are a mystery. But I am confident that Darren Brown is not one of them.

I've had a few experiences of this, Summer, so I do believe that there are people who can pick things up that others can't. One example, my closest friend and I made a pact when we were children that we would contact each other if we were ever in trouble. Some years ago, I had a dream that I saw my friend walking down a street, she suddenly stopped and bent over and was clearly in pain. I watched a woman, who was somehow also me in the dream, go to my friend's aid, she asked what was wrong. My friend kept saying, what on earth can be wrong with me? The woman called an ambulance and my friend was taken to hospital.

The next day, I felt so worried that something bad had happened to my friend, I kept ringing, but I couldn't get hold of her. My husband convinced me I that was imagining all of this. While on holiday a week later I bought a book, Zorba's Dance, which is partly about a pact between two friends that they would contact each other if either of them was in trouble - I didn't have a clue that the book had this theme when I bought it. I decided to give this book to my friend when I'd finished it.

I finally managed to contact my friend only after my return from holiday. My friend told me that she'd had a dreadful experience. I said to her, you were walking down a street and suddenly had a searing pain in your stomach, you were bent over, you didn't know what was wrong with you. A woman came to help you, she called an ambulance and went with you to hospital, yes? That's exactly what had happened. Unknown to my friend she'd had an ectopic pregnancy. I asked my friend if she'd like my copy of Zorba's Dance, thanks, she said, but I read it when I was hospital, it made me think of the pact we made when we were children.

chochokeira, thank you for your reply!
If it were not for people like you being brave and responding to my post, I would think I was
alone, (almost), with this kind of memory and experience of this weird stuff!
Most of the time I put a "block" on it, because I want to live in the here and now mainly,
but occasionally one of these experiences creeps through.
Putting the block on means being extremely forceful, 'though sometimes.
I block things because it has always scared me to a certain extent.
