Barkham: A headless soldier, the so-called "phantom of Barkham" is said to haunt the Barkham Road.
Bracknell:
Quelm Lane is haunted by a man riding a white horse who grabs small children.
Quelm is an old english
word for death or
hangman. Caesar's Camp,
an iron age fort
outside the town, is reputedly
haunted with the marching of soldiers still heard on still nights.
Hurst: Unusual sounds have been heard in the historic Castle Inn built by the church.
Warfield:
A ghostly procession is said to march each year on October 28th along Forest
Road. This is the anniversary of an event that apparently took place in
1874. Jeff Nicholls in his book Our Mysterious Shire writes:
"It is
recorded that a large group of villagers was displeased with the ill-treatment
that the lord of Warfield Park, Lord
Ormathwaite, was meting
out to his wife. The
lady
of the house, formerly Lady Emily
Somerset, was very sympathetic
and charitable towards the villagers in their times of hardship, so when
they heard of this cruelty they took the law into their own hands, in the
way of a
tin-canning."
Tin-canning was an old English punishment whereby villagers would arm themselves with cans, tin pots and anything else that made a noise and descend on the wrong-doers home.
