It was owned by Thomas Willem Hoogendoorn, and he was living there in 1866 when his son Willem Jozua Johannes was baptised. I know that the Hoogendoorn’s bought and sold a lot of property in the Cape Town area.
I am trying to obtain more information on them for my family tree.

It is truly sad that Woodstock has lost its beach and “Grandeur” that it once has and personally i am excited by the proposed urban renewal in the area… All in the name of “vooruitgang”

This is a typical sleep-paralysis dream and has nothing to do with Woodstock. See this handy article http://www.terrorsofmen.com/136/sleep-paralysis-night-demons. I removed the copies of this comment from the other articles.

Hi,

Does anyone know the history of Chamberlain Street in Woodstock?

I was born and raised in Woodstock and witnessed something that is out of the ordinary. This may sound like a ghost story but a true story! When I was about between 5 – 10 years of age during the late 80’s early 90’s. Not sure how I would describe it but “they” seem to appear in the middle of the night where my family is a sleep and hear noises in the kitchen which was located a couple of feet away from my bedroom where I shared with my brothers. They never witnessed anything except for myself and use to think that it was all a dream! However this demon like dark figures (that’s how I would describe them) use to come to my bedroom and watch us sleep and it happened almost in a nightly bases. I could hear them breath deeply and they would disappear in the early hours of the morning. There were occasions that I switched on the bedroom light and it would not switch on. I use to yell out for mother but no sound was coming out of my mouth. Ever since then I believe that there is something out there, whatever it is , it scared the living day lights out of me, and my mom would confirm that I had sleeping problems during the middle of the night and always slept with my bro in he’s bed or sleep in my mom’s room.

Scary hey!!!!!! So if any of you who is reading this or witness anything out of the ordinary in Chamberlain Street, Woodstock please fill me in!
