My mother told me this story when I was very young & her
word's will remain with me & haunt me for the rest of my
life & even now just to type it out sends shivers down my
spine.......
It was a cold winter's afternoon as my mother pushed the
stroller in which my sister sat, down Station Road. Back
then before the police station was built that road didn't
contain any houses it just had high, concrete walls either
side of it.
My mother was on her way to visit my grandmother
who at the time was ill. My mother was walking fast to
avoid the chill of the cold, winter air so my sister
wouldn't catch the cold as she was only a baby at the time.
Looking round my mother saw an old, frail lady wrapped in a
long, black cloak limping slowly up the road. As my mother
was in a hurry my sister accidently dropped her teddy so my
mother stopped & bent down to pick it up as she gave it
back to my sister she looked back up again to see that the
old lady had vanished. She was walking too slowly to have
got to the end of the road & there were no other passages
for her to walk up. At that moment my mother felt icy cold
& shivers made her whole body tingle. She walked the rest
of the way to my grandmother's almost frozen with fear. As
she knocked the old oak door of my grandmother's house & my
grandmother answered she took one look at my mother's
terrified, pale face & asked "Lynda what's wrong? you look
like you've seen a ghost!"
My mother then replied, "I have!"
That tale will stick with me throughout my life & I'll pass
it on to my family in hope that they'll pass it on to
their's. My mother has since then told me she saw the
spectre twice more throughout her life but I will save
those stories for another time.
Remember if you would like
more information or have in fact seen that same ghost
yourself please feel free to contact me at my e-mail
