Deep in the heart of Beamish, at Home Farm, a strange phenomenon took place back in the 1970s. It started with an old basket that was discovered tucked away between the joists in the kitchen. Someone must have thought it was taking up space, so they removed it. But they didn't count on the basket's determination to return to its original spot. Within 24 hours, the basket was back where it was first found. This bizarre game of removal and return went on for a few weeks, with the basket seemingly refusing to be moved for good.
