The Haunted House Beside the Mill: The Willington Ghost | British Hauntings & Paranormal History

from The Whispering Woods : Real Life Ghost & Paranormal Stories

For more than a decade, the Procter family and their visitors reported footsteps, violent knocking, moving beds and apparitions inside their home beside Willington Mill in Northumberland. The haunting became so notorious that sceptical surgeon Edward Drury spent the night there in 1840, only to leave after an encounter with a grey-clothed woman that he recorded in writing just days later.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://blogs.ncl.ac.uk/speccoll/2016/10/26/the-haunted-house-at-willington/https://blogs.ncl.ac.uk/speccoll/tag/willington/https://blogs.ncl.ac.uk/speccoll/page/22/https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Notes_on_the_folk-lore_of_the_northern_counties_of_England_and_the_borders/Chapter_10https://www.spr.ac.uk/9-hauntings-and-poltergeistshttps://twsitelines.info/SMR/1177https://www.icysedgwick.com/willington-mill/https://benbeck.co.uk/fh/collaterals/5Oa07cousins.htmlhttps://www.encyclopedia.com/science/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/willington-millThanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on tomorrow.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.
