Goblin Hallow Murder

It was about 160 years ago that Ann Beaton was ruthlessly murdered with a grubbing hoe on a warm spring day in May, 1859. The settlement then known as Orwell Rear (present day Lyndale) was left shocked and saddened by the brutal murder of 40 year old Annie Beaton. There weren’t any two-wakes with visiting hours back then. So she was just laid out in a barn and villagers were required to pass by and touch the body. The belief was that the touch of the guilty party would make the body bleed even more. 

But the murder site has been haunted ever since. Yes ……
