Ghostly Message from Snettisham
St Mary's Church, Snettisham
St Mary's Church in Snettisham, Norfolk, is home to a most intriguing and mysterious haunting. In October 1893, a ghostly apparition claiming to be Henry Barnard appeared to Mrs Goodeve while she was visiting friends in the West Country. Barnard's spirit asked Mrs Goodeve to travel to Snettisham church and wait by the grave of Robert Cobb, a request that she surprisingly obliged. On a dark and quiet night, at one o'clock in the morning, a tall, dark figure materialised by the tombstone, imparting a message that was subsequently delivered to Barnard's surviving descendant at Cobb Hall.
