St John's Church Ruins in Boughton

[Infraredd]

Been here 3 times now
Another of old England's most haunted...........
First time was at night mid December. Cold & spooky but a no show on the ethereal manifestations.
The main ghost is supposed to be a beautiful woman who beguiles you with promises of marital bliss & if you succumb, you pop your clogs one month later......alas no show
Then there is the contrite convict apologising all the time....also a no show
and then there is the crying child/children......
Went back the next day 'cause the pictures didn't work very well. I used a proper infra red filter over the lens.
Focus it first, then screw the filter on, then take a 3 minute exposure. They were better but I still wasn't happy.
So when I got the little Canon Infra red camera I went back again & re shot it all
Much Better!
So in order of my fumblings

Been there myself and would like to visit again when I can. Never seen the spring but I do like your take on the place but as for ghosts, please who makes these things up, mind you there was a highway man caught and hung from the area.

As an extra if you go past the Church to the next road - Spectacle Lane. This is on the Boughton road at the cross road. It's occupied by a descendant of the Jeyes family
