Ghosts and their ghost animals


There's a load of various stories about this subject: ghosts with their phantom pets or ghosts of humans and animals together in the same locations, whether or not they're together. I wanted to share some of those tales, because they're actually quite strange. 

In Aldsworth, Gloucestershire, is pretty haunted, especially the parks and woodlands. A phantom coach pulled by a team of ghostly horses move along the road and disappears into Larkethill Wood. Also the ghost of Sir John Dutton travels to Lodge Park driving a coach of horses, the same place that a mysterious white stag was seen. 

In Blandford Forum, Dorset, a pair of stone dogs at the Bryanston Gates come to life at night then go off to the nearby river for a drink. There is also a pale human ghost that was witnessed in the area. In nearby woods there has been witnessed a Shuck creature, which is a spectre of a large black dog. People have listened to the mysterious Wild Hunt of barking and yelping of phantom dogs. 

In Lanarkshire, near a road to Faskine, a woman of the Kerr family was found dead with her lover at a site called Lover's Leap. Afterwards, a ghostly white hare appeared to her family as an omen that someone would die.

At Deans Place Hotel in Sussex, a ghostly woman dressed all in blue was seen inside the corridor, while a phantom dog has been witnessed around the car park. It's believed that the blue lady was murdered in the hotel and her spirit haunts the hotel with ghost dog haunting the outside.

At King John's Hunting Lodge in Somerset, a phantom white lady haunts the same building as her companion ghost cat. Both of them sit in the same chair. Another site called Dragon Theatre in Gwynedd, are a group of resident spirits including a cat and a girl that sings hymns. Lansdown Hill in Somerset is the fairy tale looking Beckford's Tower, that was once called Lansdown Tower. The owner, the novelist William Thomas Beckford and his dog now both haunt the place.

There is a load of reports on headless horsemen seen throughout countries such as Britain, Ireland and in the USA. The most popular headless horseman of all is based on the fictional story Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving.
