Marden Pool, Marden, Hereford Legend Unknown

Marden Pool is a small body of water in Herefordshire that has been associated with a rather unusual paranormal phenomenon. People have reported hearing the sounds of bells and singing emanating from the pool, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The exact origin of these sounds is unknown, but they have become a part of local folklore. The pool itself is a peaceful spot, surrounded by nature, which makes the experience of hearing these ghostly sounds all the more surreal.

The history of Marden Pool is not well documented, but it's likely that the legends surrounding the pool have been passed down through generations of locals. The singing and bell sounds have been described as eerie and unexplained, with no apparent source. While there are no recorded dates or times for these events, the fact that multiple people have reported experiencing them suggests that there may be some truth to the claims. Further research is needed to uncover the truth behind Marden Pool's ghostly singing.

Bewdley Garden Poltergeist

Two adjoining properties, Bewdley

In the quiet town of Bewdley, a bizarre dispute between neighbours took a strange turn when they accused each other of vandalism, only to suggest a mischievous poltergeist was to blame. The trouble started in 1960 when manure was thrown over the fence separating the two properties on Dry Mill Lane. It wasnt long before the pranks escalated, with tree branches being broken and red shale tossed into the gardens. The Edwards, who appeared in court accused of assaulting their neighbour, denied all involvement, leading their solicitor to propose a rather unconventional explanation - that a poltergeist was responsible for the chaos and each neighbour had instinctively blamed the other.
