The Returning Maid of Abbots Langley
Churchyard and Vicarage, Abbots Langley
In the sleepy Hertfordshire town of Abbots Langley, a haunting takes place on the spookiest of nights, 31 October. The Churchyard and Vicarage, a site steeped in history, is said to be the location where a young girl, who died suddenly, rises from her grave once a year. Opinions differ on her identity, with some believing she was a former vicar's daughter, while others think she might have been a maid mistreated by a vicar's wife. Whatever her story, her annual return is a chilling phenomenon that draws interest from those fascinated by the paranormal.
