The following account comes from centuries past, but is worthy of retelling. Mr Matthews was a schoolteacher staying at what was described as a “grand house in the parish”, but had what was described as a “horrible night”. He was in bed when he heard something churning in the room, followed by the sound of someone walking above the bed and rustling the covers as it passed over them! Whatever it was then fell on the bed causing him to tumble out complete with bedclothes.

 

The following morning, he informed the owners about his tribulations and it transpired that a man had died in that room after falling from the garret above. What was worse was that the owners knew it was haunted, but did not tell him!
