Wow, three of you tracking down my OH's ancestors! *pinches self*

Thanks very much, all of you, and do behave yourselves in that graveyard!

I hope you two (Astoria and Finbar) are prepared for this graveyard hunt!

Rumour has it that a witch is buried in that graveyard but it's a unmarked grave. There have been sightings of her wandering around the gravestones. I'm not joking either!!! I've known about this rumour since I was a teenager and my children (now in their 20's) know about it too.

So guys be prepared and come with crucifix and whatever else we need to ward off evil witches

I used to cycle past that graveyard with my best friend and we were too frightened to go in

Oh those were the days, looks like I will be reliving my childhood again!

I reckon you must be right Fin. I never knew the witches name, but it's definitely the same Churchyard.

Oooohhhh spooky!!

Elaine.
P.S. I googled Meg Shelton!
