A tragic death and a local folk tale of paranormal shenanigans! Check out our latest video where we discuss the death of a local cotton weaver by the name of James Trickett and that of ‘owd Jim, a mischevious spirit who haunts the area where James’ body was discovered.

And yet on Monday, 4th October 1915, he sadly took his own life.

Or did he?
