Can An Individual Be Haunted
Submitted by Member: thegirl_themaster - Top Story/Poem for October 07
I would like to know if it is possible for a “person” to be haunted? There is plenty of information out there about house haunting and all that sort of thing. However, can an actual individual be haunted?
Ghost of Lady Dorothy Townshend
Submitted by Global Moderator: Evie - Top Story/Poem for September 07
The Brown Lady is believed to be Dorothy Walpole, the sister of Britain's first ever Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole of Houghton Hall. It is known that Dorothy's father was made guardian of Charles Townshend, when he was only 13 years old, so having grown up in each others company, when Dorothy was 15 and Charles 27 he fell deeply in love with her and wanted to marry her. Apparently Dorothy's father refused to give his blessing and put a stop to the whole affair, as he feared he would be accused of wanting to gain the Townshend fortune and property.
The Pendle or Lancashire Witches
Submitted by Global Moderator: Helen - Top Story/Poem for August 07
I couldn't believe my luck when i found that i had moved to a place steeped in history. While i was waiting for the house i was buying to come through. I stayed in a caravan in a village called Barley. It is at the foot of Pendle hill. I bought a tape on the trials of the Lancashire witches being naive and listened the story being relayed while listening by candle light.
