I find the whole ghost thing really interesting.  I would love to do one of those ghost hunts and spend a night in a 'supposed' haunted location.  Sort of like that programme 'Most Haunted'.  Good show if you have seen it.

thats a true story about dunk

The bit about the drowning maid is probably true, I heard that the servants couldn't sleep at night because of the constant noise of splashing about created by the victims of some randy sod in there.

All this crap about a ghost at Dunkenhalgh was laid to rest back in 1914. The Accrington Pals were on a night exercise in the grounds at Dunkenhalgh.
That ghost was mist rising off the river.
Never yet heard of a ghost that will face a Lee Enfield Rifle with 2 ft of cold steel on the end.
As for that bloke who does the ghost walks, he's come with some right corkers, when challenged he doesn't reply.

That'll be Janet.

Who had a stroke in the jacuzzi, and now haunts the leisure facilities.

My Gran told me another story after I had told her about something I had seen near the Dunkenalgh ( can't say what, on here as no one will believe me!!) Anyway Gran said that the daughter of the owner of the Dunkenalgh fell in love with a young man who worked on the estate and as her family would not allow her to marry him, she killed herself by jumping off a bridge into the river.
When you are 11 years old, you'll believe anything, but I swear I saw something.!

From my spirit guide, Madame Cholet.

In answer to your second question, yes.

Madame Cholet produces the most delicious meals out of all kinds of strange things. Her elm-bark pie with fluffy toadstool topping is famous throughout the Womble world. Like all good cooks she stands no nonsense in her kitchen and has been known to rap even Garinda's paws when he tried to taste one of her bracken jellies before it was properly set.

I think you have the wrong Madame Cholet, an easy mistake to make when they are both lying on their backs whistling La Marseillaise!

Rindys Madame Cholet as he stated is his 'spirit guide' and is willing to tell him his fortune so long as he takes her for a tour of the top shelf behind the local bar.

My brother=in=law has a laptop full of ghost stories if you wish to get in touch he will be pleased to email some of them to you.

There was Elsie Sidebottom, who died after falling through the ice on the Swanee, and is now sometimes seen skating across the football pitches at Whiteash, on frosty winter mornings.
