The Sidcot Conjurer | George Beacham and the Haunted Mendips : Folklore of the Westcountry

from The Whispering Woods : Real Life Ghost & Paranormal Stories

In the small Somerset village of Sidcot, George Beacham was remembered as a cattle doctor, a conjurer, and a man with knowledge of the old ways. When his final burial wish was ignored, the story says his widow’s cottage erupted with moving furniture, falling household goods, and the sound of the dead man’s boots coming slowly down the stairs.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://archive.org/stream/historyofsidcots00knig/historyofsidcots00knig_djvu.txthttps://www.sdnq.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Somerset-County-Herald-Notes-and-Queries-1919-transcript-by-Paul-Mansfield.pdfhttps://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/5615/banwell-forthttps://hauntedhosts.com/haunted-places/avon/location/1235-banwell-blown-cross-hauntinghttps://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/2092/wimblestonehttps://www.paranormaldatabase.com/somerset/somedata.phpThanks 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.
