Esther Clyne was enjoying a friend’s 70th birthday party at Featherstone Castle
A woman says she thought she had died after a huge stone fell from a castle wall on her head. Esther Clyne, 54, was enjoying a friend’s 70th birthday party at Featherstone Castle when she was hit by the stray slab weighing 20kg.
And she said four years on she still suffers from bouts of dizziness, memory loss and lack of balance. Esther, who works in a school and helps run a charity, said: “It felt like a slab fell on my head. My head was just ringing and it was really loud. It was a few minutes before I realised and then the blood started rushing. This slab had slid off and hit me directly on my head. I thought I was dead.
"My son Leon was beside me and as I stepped out the doorway I thought a bomb had gone off. It felt like I'd been hit by a bus. It was an almighty noise and my whole body shunted down. Luckily I was stood straight." Esther says the impact has changed her life and worsened her current Myalgic encephalomyelitis symptoms. She said: “I was left debilitated because of the dizziness and the pain. I spent thousands on professional medical treatments and therapy.
