| Believed to be over 450 years old this ancient building retains the haunting of the ghost of a Cavalier, seen by at least three people during the 1970's, and always 'during the middle of the day'. Mrs. Joan Green, the licensee's wife assured me that Cheryl her daughter, her daughter-in-law and her son have all experienced the phenomena in the house, and two local residents have also been mystified by certain incidents. One afternoon, Cheryl was in an upstairs corridor preparing to enter the loft when she saw 'something glide past'. The following afternoon in exactly the same spot and at about the same time, the girl noticed the figure of a man dressed exactly like a Cavalier, standing in a doorway. 'As I looked at him'she told me 'he just faded away'. That was early in the 1970's but since then mysterious footsteps have been heard walking the empty passageway and on one occasion Mrs. Green's daughter-in-law felt as if she had been pushed towards the stairway. Dennis Morgan, then of the 'Cheshunt Telegraph', was interested enough to carry out a Training Project on the case and to provide basic details of the haunting. Meanwhile, the footsteps and 'weird scufflings'continue to be heard but now at less frequent intervals. |
