Ghosts of highwaymen
Well, Spring-heeled Jack, what about other ghostly highwaymen about?
I understand that there may be one in Hastings,
at the Stag Inn. It's even credited with being Dick Turpin.
Long way from York, isn't he?
However another website claims that the inn
is haunted by a ship's captain.
Maybe it's a question of identifying the trade of the man
from the hat, which he's wearing.
There is also a young girl's presence upstairs,
a mummified cat found in the chimney,
and an angry male spirit in the back bedroom.
I did want to mention any other highwayman ghost in my area,
which i knew of before i moved on.
To Arundel again.
Haven't got to it this week. Was going, but then the weather turned cold.
I'll start at Arundel Castle.. another building which is greedy for ghosts.
There is a blue man, who floats around the library,
and is often seen browsing the books,
A phantom scullion in the kitchen..
A kitchen menial, that is to say..a boy who was beaten to death.
A lady in white, who is said to have thrown herself off one of the towers,
And that may not be all, as ghostly figures are frequently reported.
It's quite a prominent local landmark,
So you would hope it would be haunted.....
