EGLWYS Y BEDD - CHURCH OF THE GRAVE.

This is his revenge
Hovering sombrely
Hovering sinisterly
Hovering dutifully
Hovering patiently
Calling the names
of those whose
time has ended-
So others can begin.'

From a poem by Amanda Vid.

THE LOCKED GATES

"The gates had remained locked for many years but the local people in the village reported that terrible sounds could be heard coming from the grounds on many a dark night.

Some described the sounds as being like the blood-curdling screams of the dead".

From: Reports of Hauntings.

LYDFORD CASTLE

Lydford castle is situated on the western edge of Dartmoor and has been described as 'one of the most heinous,contagious and detestable places within the realm'. There have been many reports of the castle being haunted by the ghost of Judge Jeffreys who was known as the 'Hanging Judge'.

THE GLOOMY PASSAGE

'As I entered the gloomy passage the temperature dropped rapidly. Something brushed past me. It appeared to be a damp mist in the shape of a cloaked figure. When it reached the far end it seemed to pass through, just leaving it's rough shape imprinted on the wall'.

FROM: Reports of Hauntings.

THE DEPARTED DEAD

While yet a boy I sought for ghosts,and sped
Through many a listening chamber,cave and ruin
And starlight wood,with fearful steps pursuing
Hopes of high talk with the departed dead.

Percy Bysshe Shelley
