Ghost Walk #1

This was my first of two ghost walks this week, local storyteller and official Ghost Tour Leader for Colchester Derek Wray took my WI group out on a tour of the town centre, I knew a couple of the stories from when I did the tour years ago but learnt much more detail this time and some new particularly ghoulish tales about The Bull on Crouch Street.

Essentially it was bad news to be a chambermaid in Colchester, particularly if Matthew Hopkins, witchfinder general was in town!

This photo was taken inside The Red Lion hotel on the High St and is haunted by Alice who was murdered by her lover in 1638, I blipped the courtyard in June 2008
