Interviewed by Sarah Clark and Jill Delday on 19/1/07.Accompanies CD Bib No 584579.Summary: The interview begins with Sarah asking Jill about her family's 'ghost', the spirit of Bella who lived in their house when her grandfather bought it. She was evicted and while still living said she would return, and Jill's family believe she has, as her grave is two miles away from their home. Jill recalls strange things that have happened in the house which have been attributed to Bella the ghost, and even has experienced seeing her as a shadowy figure in the mirror. Jill ends by saying she would be too scared to visit Bella's grave. Jill then asks Sarah about a Guide trip she made to Germany, being selected to represent her troop from Scotland along with ten others. She describes the excitement of being chosen and how she met many guides from other countries and swapped neckerchiefs with a Swedish Guide because she so loved the colour of the other girl's one. There is a glossary with the transcript.
