An old miller prepares to finish his work in a corn mill in the hamlet of Lumley, in the County of Durham. Suddenly he hears movement on the floor below him, and as he takes a flaming candle and descends the stairs, he is shocked to discover “… a woman standing upon the midst of the floor with her hair about her head hanging down and all bloody, with five large wounds on her head...” This was the scene for Northern England’s most singular and legendary Christmas ghost story. Then another tale, set in the 19th Century, was told in the press of a mysterious haunting that was occurring in the old mill house at Willington Quay, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The two narratives, seemingly dissimilar to each other, had captured the imagination of many historians and ghost hunters for years, and still do to this very day. Now it is time that the two are threaded together, in one of the most true and horrifying experience of a ghostly encounter, related through the miller and the apparition of the murdered woman, like never before…

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Ghost at Willington Mill, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, 1630. Since the nineteenth century, it was rumoured that the area purchased by the Proctor family at Willington Quay, near Newcastle, had been haunted for many years before they built a mill on the land. Little did those people know that those rumours would turn out so true. Two hundred years prior, in the year of 1630, upon Saint Thomas Day, four days before Christmas, a miller was working hard within the walk-mill at Willington, whereupon he was startled by a visit of a ghostly woman, her clothes were a stunning white, her face was covered by a blooded veil, who told him that he must seek out the man responsible for her death – a man living in Lumley, many miles away, in the County of Durham. The apparition said that she would continuously haunt him until he did what he was told. From that most singular moment, the old miller’s quest to discover more of why he was being so dreadfully haunted and the circumstances of his visitor’s death, would eventually lead him into something more powerful that neither he nor anyone afterward could possibly imagine… …The Fair Maiden’s Secret.
Download or read book Shakespeare s Ghosts Live written by Adrian Parker-Reed and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shakespeare has been one of the most-cited authors since his plays were performed, and yet little attention has been paid to his views on psychic phenomena. It took another 300 years of paranormal experiences before scholars at Cambridge University helped to found the Society for Psychical Research, which brought scientific scrutiny to the area, and the UK is now a world leader in university research on this topic. This book throws new light on many historical case reports from Shakespeare’s time onwards. It identifies the core experiences that transcend time and give clues to an understanding of psychic phenomena. The book highlights Shakespeare’s insights, showing how these relate to, and even amplify, the conclusions of later and on-going research. In our time of disconnectedness from nature, the book discusses neglected human experiences which represent an important part of life and which do, in fact, occur to most of us. In doing so, the book raises awareness against the emptiness of a zombie-like existence in today’s society and offers a new approach to life and death, and their deeper meaning.
