GHOSTS


Ince Woods, through which the A565 passes, is said to be haunted by the Ghost of a woman killed nearby, the ghost is known as the Grey Lady. If you drive through the woods at midnight on a certain night of the year, she will appear in the road, outside a large round house, forcing the driver to crash their car. As with most legends of this type, it's probably nothing more than playground gossip.
