PARANORMAL RESEARCHER MEETS HIS SPECTRAL SUBJECT FACE-TO-FACE.

JOURNALIST and ghost expert Laurie Kemp says West Cumbria is largely ghost-free.

He says: “Whatever happened to those engaged in the old Triangular trade? Surely they cannot be sleeping the long sleep of the innocent!”

Mr Kemp is the author of Ghosts of Cumbria – published by Bookcase in Carlisle.

Just up the coast he adds that Workington certainly had a ghostly tale: “In its heyday Workington Hall was a building of some splendour; a massive mahogany door guarded the Great Hall – like all the doors in the Hall it was made from timber from ships wrecked on the Cumbrian coast – and the Pele tower had seven-feet-thick walls. It was an imposing building that took on a grim air when, in the darkness of night, the ancient building echoed to the strange noise of something bumping down the stairs.

It was the ghost of Sir Henry Curwen – better-known as Galloping Harry, ever ready to go galloping off on raids north of the Border.
