The Ill Boy of Kegworth
In the heart of Kegworth village, a small house on High Street has a history that chills. This unassuming residence was once home to a phantom, the ghost of an ill boy whose presence was felt by those who lived there. Although the ghost has not been seen recently, the memory of his haunting presence lingers. The story of the ill boy's ghost has been passed down, a reminder of the mysterious and often inexplicable nature of paranormal activity.
Historical records of the house and its former occupants are scarce, but the legend of the ill boy's ghost has endured. It's said that the boy's health was fragile, and his spirit was trapped within the house, unable to rest. While there are no documented dates or times for the sightings, the fact that the ghost has not been recently seen suggests that the haunting may have been a phenomenon specific to a certain period or era. Further research into the history of the house and its former occupants may shed more light on this intriguing case.
The house has been a private residence for an unknown period.
