You felt he 'haunted' the place . . . well he probably would if his remains were still there, awaiting a decent burial.
Yeh right.
However, it is probable there was a body of a girl, who died in 1778, buried in the garden, we had her gravestone propped up again the wall of the house. When my husband was gardening he came across a bone, part of a spine. We did wonder if it was human, we asked our GP and my brother-in-law, also a doctor, if that was possible, they both agreed it was a possibility, although they couldn't say for sure. Before we left the property I buried the gravestone in the garden and put the bone in the river next to the house.
