Spirit of Accrington
Screaming Girl
Location: Accrington - Black Abbey Road
Type: Haunting Manifestation
Date / Time: Unknown
Further Comments: This ghostly figure drifts quietly down the road, screaming only if approached. She was burnt to death after having a love affair with one of the monks.
That one is a load of cow manure, created by the bloke that does ghost walks, I emailed him for documentry evidence, guess what no reply.
There is nothing in the Coucher Book of Kirkstall, or documents of the de Altham family that show any evidence of any such event.
There is also mention of the ghost at Dunkenhalgh, the Accrington Pals put that myth to rest when they were on a night exercise, it was the mist coming off the stream.
Retlaw.
