I fished a northants water , which was surrounded by woodland , very quite tranquil place , the swim I fished was a wooden platform with a long wooden cat walk leading up to the swim I did one midweek night session , having lake to myself I felt quite confident of a pull with it being one of those dark cloudy , windy nights in the autumn .
As I drifted off to sleep I was awoken by the sound of a single bleep from one of the alarms in the early hours of the morning , as nothing materialized I just lay there to hear the sound of very slow footsteps coming my way down the wooden catwalk , so I jumped out of the sack to see who it was expecting to see the flash of a head torch coming my way , as it was pitch black pathway at night time .
There was nothing ,but the sound of somebody 's footsteps ,and I mean a very slow walking pace ,  ,I shouted out who's there , to no reply . And then nothing .
So I thought feck this for agame of soldiers and went back in the sleeping bag , as I lay there wondering who the hell would be wondering a round in the pitch black , I knew it was none of the other syndicate members , because there was only seven of us , only one of which fished midweek , but he was away on holiday . And plus there would of been a reply when I asked , who's there. 
eventually I manged to get back to sleep , to awaken again an hour later to the sound of these footsteps coming my way again , at the same slow pace  , the hairs on the back of my neck just stood up , so i ran out with torch in hand , to find nobody . 
A few weeks later I spoke to one of the other anglers and he said he experienced the same thing a couple of months before.

I did a night session recently where I kept having wierd dreams, the ones where you have a dream in your dream, and wake up twice. It was really really disorientating.

I shat myself a few times at redmire, its the darkest and quietist place i have ever seen at night, even walking from my bivvy to the car in the dark (which for the first few days was through the evening pitch, the supposed haunted pitch!) made me a bit edgy

Yep, looking back now I reckon I was the only one who paid it, I joined via the tackle shop in Barwell, miserable bugger that ran it. Being 17 I didn't ask enough questions. Still, I out fished everyone!
Remember there was no internet so if you didn't know anyone else, you couldn't get information on venues. Imagine it................no internet!! Just found the ticket, I keep everything!!
Edit: sorry for going way off thread.

Are you sure about the £400 15 years ago! I know the water your talking about and find that hard to believe.
