| hearsay:- |
Richard Atkinson, of the Elephant Inn, also known as Brockram Dick, used to keep the
Crackenthorpe toll gate in the late 18th century. He said he once saw Peg Sleddal's
ghost, seated in an old coach pulled by six black horses with flaming eyes, come through
the turn pike, when a helm wind was blowing. |
