Description

We might think of ghost hunts or investigations as a predominantly 20th and 21st-century endeavour. Yet the legend of the ghosts at Willington Mill shows that people were trying to unearth the supernatural even in the first half of the 19th century. Spectral figures and unearthly noises plagued those living at the miller's house, with witnesses even seeing the ghosts from the street. Despite the fascinating tales of haunting reported by people who visited the house, it's the story of the midnight vigil that has become more famous. So let's explore the tale of the haunting of Willington Mill, and try to sort some fact from fiction in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
