Christopher Slaughterford's Vengeful Spirit
Sandpits between town and Polesden, Guildford
Deep in the Surrey countryside, near the town of Guildford, lies a spot known as Sandpits, a place where locals claim to have seen the ghost of Christopher Slaughterford. His spirit is said to appear with a rope dangling from his neck and a burning torch in hand, screaming 'Vengeance!' as he searches for justice. The story goes that Chris was hanged in 1709 for a crime he swore he didn't commit - the murder of his girlfriend. It's said that his restless soul has been seeking revenge ever since.
