Ghost sighting Nothumberland Winters Gibbet

The last man to be Gibbetted in England was William Winter. A facsimile of his head hangs from a Gibbet on a wild moorland road above the village of Elsdon. Winter was a Gypsy and murderer. He was executed in 1791 and his ghost can be seen around this area.
