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.

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.

Download or read book Ghosts written by Paul Roland and published by Arcturus Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07-24 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'No one can deny Paul Roland is a complete master of his subject.' Colin Wilson, author of The Outsider Ghosts and spirits inhabit the world around us. We can hear and see them if we are only sensitive - or psychic - enough to be aware of them. Re-examining a fascinating assortment of recorded sightings from as far back as Roman times, the author presents a serious look at ghosts, not as chain-rattling spooks, but as actual entities with which we share a greater reality. Nor does he accept that ghosts are merely the spirits of departed people, or energies left behind. Uniquely, Paul Roland provides self-tested evidence on the idea of spirits as the manifestation of people still living, proving that out-of-body experiences are not as rare - or as impossible - as some people might think. The result is a profoundly fascinating, thought-provoking book that will challenge your beliefs as never before.
