Ghosts and Legends of Louth.

[@deanmoncaster]

I used to live near Charles Street pond and both my mother and I independently saw the same Victorian boy playing in our back yard. I never told anyone about this because I wrote it off as my head being funny but when my mum mentioned it too it made it even more real.

[@Seany63]

@@lululolly Well the ghost must have oiled his wheelbarrow. it was a bit of not so subtle editing.👻

I lived here for alittle bit the old white swan about 11years ago and i was telling my mate how me and the owners son both seen an old woman walking towards us and then you bring up about a woman being there witch confirmed what me and mate seem that night

[@Seany63]

Hi Kyle. It must have been great to live in a building with so much history? I would love to know more about the ghost. Did you see her more than once? how was she was dressed etc. Thanks very much for your interesting comment

[@markjackson5735]

These Ghost stories were collected together in a pamphlet called like 'The Green Lady of Thorpe Hall and other Ghosts of Louth'. Do you have a copy of it? I used to read it regularly at my Grandma's House in the 70's. I found a copy in Louth Library more recently but those are the only two original copies I have seen.

[@Seany63]

Well mark, I got most of the stories from old newspapers and a scrapbook with photocopies from various unspecified publications. It might have included pages from the same pamphlet. Thanks for the info. I will attempt to track it down when the libraries reopen.:-)

[@Lineandsinker87]

What about the gentleman ghost who haunts hubbards hills ? Apparently hung from the large tree opposite the old barn house at the back field .

[@Seany63]

Yes, I was told about the ghostly gentleman fairly recently and about other spooky goings-on around Hubbards Hills. It's a beautiful place and I intend to make a video there soon. Thanks for the reminder. :-)

[@Lineandsinker87]

@@Seany63 no problem :) it has links to witchcraft also , alongside some story about deserters in WW2 being tied to trees and flogged for cowardice before being shot although I’m unsure how true the latter part is however the 1st 2 are 100% facts although unsure about which era and dates etc 👍🏼 … I used to go to Deighton Close boarding school and that whole building is haunted not only from past spectres but also a couple of my friends in the late 90’s who hung themselves there after enduring abuse at the hands of the staff there myself included as a survivor of said abuses. It’s been shut for years now due to authorities finding out about the abuses failing to find any justice for anyone involved but just outright shutting the place down and brushing it all under the carpet.

[@Seany63]

@@Lineandsinker87 I have heard rumours of witchcraft but I've not heard about the WW2 deserters. Really interesting thank you. I hope to get there next month work schedule permitting. As for the school, how truly terrible, so sorry you had to endure it.

[@mommabearmanga3758]

My old house I Tennyson road was haunted and I grew up in a House on Eastgate that had 3 ghost residing with us

[@Seany63]

Hi Hillary, I plan to make another vid about the ghosts and legends of Louth, so it would be great to hear your stories. Thanks for commenting :-)

[@deanmoncaster]

Also to let you know, there is a ghost story about the wheatsheaf pub. In the upper section in the housing area there is a ghost that plays cards and sometimes you can play against him but I've never seen it personally. So there you go. A new story for you

[@Seany63]

Thank you very much, what a great story. I am planning another video about Louth, hopefully in the summer. I will certainly include that spooky little gem. And I would love to visit the house on Charles Street Thank you again :-)

[@deanmoncaster]

@@Seany63 well the house isn't on Charles Street per se it's at the back of the pond area. Legend has it that there a horse and cart at the bottom of the pond that fell in many many years ago. Again I cannot verify any of that.

[@Seany63]

@@deanmoncasterI look forward to seeing the pond. Thanks for another interesting legend. :-)

[@CodgerBiker]

1980 I reckon 👍

[@Seany63]

Yes, 1980. I think the name of one the bands we watched was “ The Shrinking Spires”
