Ghosts of the Isle of Wight
Every place with a bit of history has them ... the cross roads, the old oak
tree, the pub where someone went missing, the old manor house that stood next to
the pub and then disappeared one foggy night ... but here is a quick round up of
Ghosts of the Isle of Wight, that apparently, is one of the most haunted
counties in the UK!
If
you would like to find out more, there are countless books written about the
Island and it's eerie past and
an internet search
throws up many results, but, if you're brave enough, try the regular Ghost Walk's
in Newport, Carisbrooke Castle, Appuldurcombe House, Dimbola Lodge, Osborne House, Ventnor Botanic Gardens or visit one of the many
other places around the Island with a history of heads chopped off, scorned
lovers intent on revenge from beyond the grave, murder and mayhem! Having
gone to Appuldurcombe House in the Summer of 2004, I can honestly say that it
was brilliant fun and great value for money - but please also be aware that some
displays are mainly aimed at an 'older' audience and young children can be
frightened for several nights after!!! As a family, we have also been on
the walks around St Catherine's Lighthouse, which are very entertaining and I
would recommend them for a bit of a laugh and to get some facts on the Island.
Although we cannot claim that Freshwater Fruit Farm is haunted, we are actually
quite relieved!
