A fabulous collection of ghost hauntings in Suffolk, from the
infamous Black Dog of Bungay to the headless Anne Boleyn stalking
visitors at Blickling Hall. The serene, low-lying countryside of
Suffolk, with its scattered farms, water-meadows and extensive
coastline, seems an unlikely area to be associated with ghosts and
demons. Yet, a motley array are said to haunt the region. The most
famous is the Black Dog, a spectral hound, which in the year 1577
terrorised and killed parishioners in the churches of Bungay and
Blythburgh, and continues to exert a strong presence today. Other
strange phenomena include phantom coaches, rattling through the
countryside at night, drawn by spectral horses and driven by a
headless coachman, and the freshwater mermaids who lure young
children to their deaths in pools and rivers. Tobias Gill the black
drummer haunts the crossroads near Blythburgh where he was hanged
for the murder of a servant girl, and Mrs. Short, the 'Queen of
Hell', can still raise the hairs on your neck if you wander in the
region of Boulge Hall near Woodbridge. Famous characters such as
Anne Boleyn, Earl Hugh Bigod, and St. Edmund add an additional
lustre to folk tales of the area, and strange happenings occur in
many of the churchyards, Suffolk having more churches per acre than
almost any other county. This fascinating account of local
'sightings' deals with all the traditional historical legends as
well as modern day sightings, and investigates their relevance and
significance for the modern age.
