Driving on a remote road across the wild moorlands of
Northumberland, looming up out of the mist was the very eerie sight of a wooden
gallows. I stopped the car (as I knew there was a geocache nearby) to read
about the grizzly memorial. It transpired
that after he had been executed for his crime, the body of the murderous felon,
William Winter, was hanged in chains from the gibbet, within sight of the
murder scene. At that lonely spot on a gloomy day it wasn't hard to imagine the
presence of restless spirits, forever condemned to haunt this place.
