BLACK SABBATH's TONY IOMMI: I've Seen A Ghost
Lorne Jackson of the Sunday Mercury reports that BLACK SABBATH/HEAVEN & HELL guitarist Tony Iommi has admitted that has seen a ghost. And he wasn't alone when it happened.
Back in the early '70s, SABBATH holed-up in Clearwell Castle, in the Forest Of Dean, to take part in a writing session for a new album, which would eventually be released as "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" in 1973.
Which is when the ghost made its entrance. "We definitely saw one," says Tony in an interview with Guitarist magazine. "We were setting up the gear in the dungeons and were the only people there. It was myself and Geezer, or myself and Ozzy, and we were walking down the hallway and we saw a cloaked figure coming towards us. We thought, 'Who is that?' It walked into a room, and we followed it to see who it was and there was nobody there. The room was an armoury with all the weapons on the wall, and there was nothing else in there. We told the people about it who owned the castle; we thought they'd think we were mad, but they just said, 'Oh yes, that's the castle ghost.'"
