In a field on the outskirts of the town chain rattling spectres have been heard, on the site of the towns gibbet.
Gibbets were often places associated with hauntings in the past, especially black dogs, which were seen as the spirits of the hanged. A great deal of folklore built up about them over the years, which we will be examining in the future.
