What better way to spend Hallowe'en than to investigate the ghostly sightings in a churchyard?

A small team of LPS members travelled to St Giles' Church in Codicote to investigate its hauntings and somewhat strange tales. The graveyard is reported to be haunted by a little girl, a shrouded woman and a red faced old woman with corkscrew curls. In the church sits a rather unusual carving called ‘The Old Dog’. It has the head of a monkey, ears of a bat, the mane of a horse, body of a dragon, tail of a lion and legs and hooves of a cow. It is not known why it is called The Old Dog but it is alleged to bring you good luck if you pat its head.

A huge thank you to the members who braved this Hallowe'en investigation; as the weather was bitterly cold and members sat in freezing conditions bearing an incredibly icy wind!
