Wadhurst Ghost Stories

<p><strong>Please note: this is a work of fiction NOT a compendium of local folklore.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Could there really be a gargantuan snake sleeping the sleep of the ages somewhere beneath a hillock just outside Wadhurst? And are there other equally strange beings 'living' (if we can really use that term) beneath the same earth? Was there once a spectacular magical 'obelisk' sited in a local field? </p><p><br></p><p>And while we're on the subject who or what is 'The Oilman'? Where did Dr Jenkinson's mysterious machine come from? Who was Simon Francis Geffers? Did such a person ever really exist? And how can anyone possibly explain that 'forty-foot wide spectre with teeth' we still keep hearing about?</p><p><br></p><p>These questions - and others of a similar nature - are not entirely answered in this collection of seven long-ish ghost stories covering more than a century in the village's history.</p><p><br></p>
