Ghost Sighting Northamptonshire The World's end

The World's end pub stands in the village of Ecton. It was built in the 17th century. The pub is said to be haunted by a barmaid called Angel who worked there. She was killed by her suitor in a fit of jealous rage. Apparently he also haunts the building but the two spirits can't find each other.

Ghost Sighting Northamptonshire The Triangular lodge

Everything about the Triangular lodge is linked to the number three. It has 33 foot walls, each with three trefoil windows and three gables. There are three storeys and a three sided chimney. The lodge was built in 1593. A secret tunnel leads from the lodge and the original owner offered a large sum of money to anyone who would go down and investigate it. A gypsy fiddler took up the offer. As he went the tunnel collapsed. The sound of a ghostly fiddle can be heard coming from the ground.

People travelling through the tunnel have been confused by light and a fork in the waterway. What people have seen is the flicker of candlelight at the spot where the first tunnel would have intersected the main canal tunnel. The ghostly navvies are working there still.....
