Specific Location: Rugby

Lawford Hall, Little Lawford

Lawford Hall near Long Lawford no longer exists and on the site of this building can now be found Hall Farm. Lawford Hall had a reputation of being haunted and the following account of this ghost appeared in ‘The Folklore Of Warwickshire’ (1976) by Roy Palmer. ‘The Boughton family lived at Lawford Hall, which stood not far from the Avon at Little Lawford, near Rugby.

A428 Ghost

According to ‘The Folklore Of Warwickshire’ (1976) by Roy Palmer, ‘Drivers on the Coventry-Rugby road have been terrified at the approach of a lorry on the wrong side of the road. At the last spit-second, when a head-on collision seems inevitable, the lorry proves to be a phantom, and vanishes.’ 

I am unsure where exactly on the A428 the phantom lorry has been seen.
