Description / Profile
There are two stories relating to haunted roads around Carrick.
On the Westbury side of Carrick a lady in white is seen wandering up
and down Oaks Road.
Another story comes about in a spot where a young lady was brutally
mudered in the 19th century.
This account was told to a local newspaper: “A weary traveller was
wending his way homewards and when nearing the spot where the
young woman met her’ death his mind wondered about such things
as the afterlife. He had passed, the fatal spot, and not seeing
anything unusual, his spirits began to revive but hearing a strange’
sound ‘he looked in the direction from whence it came, and horror of
horrors ! on the Sillwood side of the road/ he’ saw a strange object all
in white -making straight towards him ;. At times it resembled a
dromedary, then all at once it would expand two gigantic white wings,
and the only sound to be heard resembled the ; puffing of a
locomotive engine in full speed. When ; nearing the traveller it cried
out in a loud voice and with determined energy “ Kill him Choker, kill
him/? ‘ This caused the traveller to act in accordance with, the -first
law of nature, and seeing a large tree close by he concealed himself
as best he could. By this time the ghost was so near that the traveller
saw it. had assumed the human form divine,” but of; very large
dimensions/and it appeared to . be having some fun with two; other
little ..ghosts in the shape of .dogs ; the bigger one seemed to be
chasing the smaller urged to it by the monster ghost. They ‘Crossed the
main/road and ran along the Oaks for some distance the two litile
ghosts appeared to be fighting over something, and Were
encouraged in in their diabolical . game by .the big ghost. This did not
last, long, and the big ghost returned the way he came carrying the
small ghost by the tail. After crossing the road they disappeared
amongst the trees! The traveller, greatly amazed by this made,
another attempt to reach his home, which he accomplished
without any mishap but the loss of his hat, which he did not discover
until told of it by his wife, but his nervous system has sustained a
fearful shock, and, I am afraid that he will have to take cold baths for
the next few days…
