The Ghost of Creswell          Story:- 1 2 3 4 5   

             I believe I am open minded and didnt know whether or not to believe in ghosts until perhaps now. I am 22 years old finishing a 4 year degree, I am in a fit state of mind !

                It was windy outside and Jason(my boyfriend) was out walking the dog, three days before, across the fields i had heard a scream. I had told jason as the scream had sounded life threatening somehow, he cuols see I was worried but told my that there was nothing could be done. I was doing something in the kitchen when I heard a groan/call it sounded like it came from outside, a bit like an owl and a bit like a human but really not very much like either. 20 sec later and Jason was in the back door, i asked him if he had heard the sound but he hadnt (I was beginning to think he was going to think i was nuts) then it sounded again. It was a little louder and sounded slightly more like a human call but neither of us could make out what the call was. It souded like it was outside but instinctively beside us. It certainly hadnt been outside otherwise Jason would have heard it, we have a coal fire and when you put twigs on they whistle, but it didnt even sound like that either. Jason was astounded, too. We sat there trying to figure out what it was. Five minutes later our dog looked out the window and began growling. There was nothing there as we have a security light that lights up, and our normally brave and confident dog began to back away from the window looking terrified. We have never seen her like it before or after. This did make us more suspicious but again couldn't really put it down as ghosts. The next day we asked our neighbours who had been here longer than us and they did recall that two years ago there were five of them sitting in their lounge when they heard a pleasant "hello" from outside, but when they looked there was no-one in sight. This was about four months ago and we haven't heard anything since, until today, when i found out that there are tales of a white lady of cresswell, who's boyfriend was murdered by the lifeboat shelter by her two brothers and she saw this from piele tower. She supposedly went insane and know roams the area.

            The lifeboat shelter is two doors down from the neighbor's who heard "hello"

           I had never heard of any ghost of cresswell as I come from richmond and moved in only about 1 month before, therefore this couldnt have been my imagination and maybe there is a rational explanation....but I cant think of one.
