The Cretingham Murder

[@alea_iacta_est.rubicon]

Another great true story very well narrated as usual. I really enjoy your posts, especially on all happenings in Lincolnshire which is where I'm from 🙂 Keep them coming!

[@Seany63]

Thank you Victor, my next vid is all about an obscure Lincolnshire legend. Stay tuned.

[@johno4466]

Another fascinating video, Sean, and very well narrated as per usual. Thank you Sean for posting.

My pleasure John,

[@kevinhoughton9134]

Only one thing wrong with your uploads Sean, there's not enough of them! What a great village and superb cottage you are in here, I bet that cottage could tell a few tales, and the Church could be straight out of a '60's / '70's Hammer horror film. Superb as always. 👍👌

[@Seany63]

Thanks Kevin, yes its a lovely cottage. It was originally a manor house but now its split into two properties. Yes, I would love to make more vids. However, work and the great British weather dictates otherwise.

[@alancumming6407]

Many thanks Sean for yet another enjoyable and interesting episode. Beautiful cottage and stunning countryside.

[@Seany63]

Thanks Alan.

[@Seany63]

Cheers Lyndon, glad you enjoyed it. yes it really was a beautiful cottage, It also had its own indoor pool which unfortunately was freezing.🥶

Wasn't expecting this my dear friend what a way to start the weekend yet another fantastic tale 👏 wished you did a spot on Netflix so I could watch your channel every night 😂happy green fingers me mate sean all the best take care marschapel love's you 👻👻👻👻🏰🏰🏰🏰🏰

[@Seany63]

Thanks Lee, I am so glad that you enjoy my humble vids. Well, if only there were a few thousand more like you out there then I could hang up my garden fork and make videos full time. But sadly I can't see that happening anytime soon. Thanks for your kind words and support Lee, much appreciated my friend.

[@delcatto60]

An excellent video and a macabre story in a beautiful and peaceful village. Village gossip and news must have been enlivened by this sad event. That snippet about the storm of ‘87 bringing a tree crashing onto the gravestone on the 100th anniversary is astonishing.

[@Seany63]

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed the vid. And yes, an amazing coincidence.

[@larrydude2356]

Great presentation Sean. I always look forward to your next video and I'm never disappointed. Really interesting subject matter mate. Really appreciate the effort you put into your videos. Many thanks.

[@Seany63]

Thank you Larry, I am pleased that you like my humble video.

[@kellyshaw7271]

That was a lovely cottage. I'd never heard of this murder case before. I will have to read the book. I remember that storm of 87, it was murder to get to work, as trees had blocked the roads. Seems fated one hundred years to the day of his murder that a tree be fell the headstone. Miscarriage of justice perhaps? Always enjoy your uploads. Cheers Sean 😊

[@Seany63]

Cheers Kelly, yes it was a lovely place. The cottage used to be part of a manor house but now split into two properties. I also remember the storm, I was living in Skeggy at the time. The day after was like stepping into a scene from a disaster movie. Dozen of smashed caravans littered the roads. There was another big storm in 89, but no one seems to remember that one.

[@stennerjs]

As always a great video set in rural tranquility with a gothic horror twist worthy of a Piers Haggard Tigon movie with Linda Hayden as Harriet, secretly entwining the mad curate in demonic rites during the full moon! Try to make some more content Sean, how about haunted Canewdon in Essex?

[@Seany63]

Thank you and yes Linda Hayden would be great in the movie. However, I think the real Harriet was more like Irene Handl. I am not familiar with Canewdon, but I visit Essex from time to time so I will definitely check out the ghost stories.

[@kariwellborn5083]

Oh Sean what a lovely place to holiday even with the grizzly tales. Enjoy your autumn . Much love from Arizona.

[@Seany63]

Thank you Kari, yes it was lovely once the rain stopped and the sun shined. I am going to stay in a cottage in Norfolk next week, fingers crossed for continuing nice weather. All the best, love from Lincoln.

[@kariwellborn5083]

@@Seany63 Fingers crossed for lovely weather and an enjoyable stay.

[@rupertwilliams70]

Thank you Sean for another great video and a fascinating story. And what a wonderful cottage to stay in! It would be perfect to sit in front of that wood burning stove with a glass of whisky on a cold winter's night.

[@Seany63]

Thanks Rupert yes, I thought the same. A return visit in the winter is tempting.

[@henry9406]

What a unexpected treat , hope you do have time for another video 😁🙏🍻

[@Seany63]

Thank you Henry, yes I managed to film footage for a future vid while I was there.👻

[@TheContinuingStories]

Nice to see a video by you pop up, nice cottage interesting story. All the best my friend.

[@Seany63]

Thanks Leigh, I hope you are doing ok? I really enjoyed your amazing ripper videos. I really hope you do more true crime soon. Nice to hear from you my friend.

[@TheContinuingStories]

@@Seany63 thank you for your kindness as always. Finding it really difficult to continue with two jobs currently but I’m usually more motivated in the autumn / winter. Look forward to seeing more of your stories ✌️

[@Seany63]

@@TheContinuingStories Thank you Leigh, try not to work to hard. I look forward to more of your vids in the coming months

[@delcatto60]

I forgot to add, I just ordered the book. Thank you for the video and the book recommendation.

[@leejames1792]

Another interesting one Sean, cottage looks beautiful.

[@Seany63]

Thank you lee, yes it was a lovely cottage.

[@michelledaviesburton1334]

Hi Sean, hope you are well. What an absolutely gorgeous cottage!! Beautiful place and church too! I wonder if the vicarage/house still has some activity 🤔 Another brilliant video. Xx

[@Seany63]

Thank you Michell. Yes its a lovely cottage, I really enjoyed my stay. Well, I haven't heard any recent stories about the vicarage, I only wish I could have filmed it from the road. All is fine with me thanks. I hope you are also doing ok? xx

[@CallOfTheDarkVideo]

Great video! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@Seany63]

My pleasure.👍

Brill plc to stay in and great vid.keep them coming in.thanx

[@Seany63]

Yes, it certainly was. Thanx Penny

[@British-Hauntings-and-History]

nice video of a rather unsolved murder or at least with a dubious conviction in a picturesque part of England....all we can ask looking back so far in time is Cui Bono ?? 8)

[@Seany63]

Thank you, and yes indeed. Harriet inherited over £900 after the murder, a hefty sum back in 1887.

[@larrydude2356]

I'm sure you get asked this a lot Sean but I grew up in the Cherry Willingham and Fiskerton area just to the east of Lincoln. I'm very curious if there are any interesting or spooky tales about that area. I remember as a child that there was supposed to be the ghost of a woman who sat on the wall around the well which is outside the house opposite the church.

[@Seany63]

Hi larry, well back in the mid-1990s there was talk of the Fiskerton phantom. A creature said to resemble a small bear. There are also various legends surrounding the Wild Man of Stainfield. I've covered the stories in previous videos, However, I would like to make a more in-depth video about the wildman. That's all I know i`m afraid. Thanks for telling me about the ghostly woman on the wall, never heard that one.
