Deep In The Forest Something Stirred!
Is it the ghost of a long dead highwayman or smuggler? It might be! Or it might be you or some other brave soul seeking out such phantoms we have prepared a guide to the forest’s eerie places that allow us occasional glimpses of another world.
If you dare, let New Forest Phantoms and Folklore’s extensive knowledge of New Forest supernatural history and folklore lead you to some tantalising glimpses of that other world that is so much a part of the New Forest. Even if you know the New Forest well you’ll be in for some surprises.
Learn how a long dead architect guided the design of the region‘s most famous and eeriest landmark. Visit a forest pub where, to this day, highwaymen can sometimes be seen passing by on their way to be hanged.
A private school now occupies a 17th century house where a headless lady is said to travel in a driverless coach drawn by headless horses. When you arrive be alert for the scent of violets. In case you need to steady your nerves after that there’s another pub nearby. There you may experience a strange aroma of heady perfume but fear not. Your vizzitnewforest.com guide to New Forest Phantoms and Folklore tells the story behind the phenomenon.
New Forest Phantoms and Folklore from vizzitnewforest.com won’t quite frighten you to death and there’s certainly no danger of dying of thirst! It’s curious how many of the Forest’s haunted sites are associated with pubs, which provide the landmarks on your route. Perhaps it’s because they played such an important part in life long ago that so many characters linger there after death.
Like the pub where a coachman from the 18th century is sometimes seen at a window with his nose pressed against the pane. Maybe he did die of thirst!
The New Forest is a mystical place with lots of hidden places and perhaps it should come as no surprise that it’s held to be one of the most haunted places in England. Long associated with witchcraft and spiritualism the New Forest holds many an eerie secret still.
Let vizzitnewforest.com’s New Forest Phantoms and Folklore lift the veil just . Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the haunted sites and see the pond that turns red with blood once every year on the anniversary of a royal tragedy.
