BOOOOOOOO!!!!



Ok boils & ghouls, the Hallowe'en Treasure Hunt is up and running. Click on the pic above and enter your registered email address to be taken to this clue -

I know I'm way off the mark as usual but here's my thoughts so far -

Dolly = Dolley Madison (died 1849)
1849 = the year Edgar Allan Poe also died and was buried in Baltimore
Baltimore = near Virginia as in Virginia Woolf
Virginia + driver = Greg Norman has links there
Norman + saint = Norman Saint, buried in Whitechapel

And that's where I've dried up. Any and all of the above musings are probably incorrect, feel free to laugh and scorn, but just a little

Am away to walk the dogs and clear my head :rolleyes:

I agree with Edgar Allan Poe but not looked at the others yet.

Probably not helpful but could the lawyer be JB Stoner? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J_B_Stoner

excuse me if this is just plain silly, but I looked up places haunted by headless things on the paranormal database (here) - the places mentioned that fit are:

bibby's lane (bootle)
marple hall (marple, cheshire)
rokeby hall (rokeby)

no idea if that helps or not!!!

John Bradshawe was a lawyer from Marple!!!

That sound right, John Bradshawe of Marple Hall but no idea how to get to there from Whitechaple.

Sergeant Bradshaw was one of the police officers investigating the Whitechapel murders

Oh right. Thanks

nursey71

i think the final answer may be ok, but i'm still kinda struggling with the middle bits

the ghost at marple hall is said to be king charles - not sure whether that has any bearing on anything?

this is my first cash hunt as i've always thought they were too difficult, but boy are they addictive!!!

Lady Dorothy "Dolly" Walpole is said to haunt the staircase at Raynham Hall. Her ghost was "caught" on camera in 1936.
Ghost story writer M. R. James died in 1936. He is buried at Eton.
Wolfeton (Wolf + Eton) House, Dorset, Where the ghost of Sir Thomas Trenchard can be seen DRIVING a phantom coach and four horses up the main staircase (up a floor).
St Thomas Hospital, said to be haunted by Florence Nightingale. When she died, her relatives declined burial in Westminster Abbey.
Westminster Abbey presumably has many celebrity ghosts but a well known one is John Bradshawe. Bradshaw was buried at Westminster Abbey but later exhumed and, along with Cromwell & Ireton, was hung and beheaded as a traitor. His ghost is said to still walk the Deanery in shame.
Bradshaw was born at MARPLE
Marple Hall is said to be haunted by the headless ghost of Charles I. (See No18 here)
