Eccleston, Lancashire

7 years ago.

 

I lived in Eccleston~ nr Chorley~ Lancs for 20 years. As a teenager~ I experienced what can perhaps be described as 'ghostly happenings' - once near the new mill by the Protestant church~ I 'saw' a young family dressed in peasant-type clothing by the roadside - they didn't notice me or the rowdy school bus (returning from Bishop Rawstorne)** I was sat in.**I thought this family had perhaps been taking part in a local event and were dressed for the part~ but why had the kids been allowed off school - (the family was a young mum & dad~ and three young kids). Then I waited for the taunts from everyone on the bus but the family escaped ridicule as none of the school kids saw them. I had the opportunity to study them carefully as roadworks meant that temporary traffic lights were stuck on red for several minutes~ they didn't acknowledge the bus in all that time.** The second occasion was at Heskin Hall (when~ again~ roadworks were in place along the mudtrack opposite the hall). Myself and friend saw a group playing croquet on the lawn and they interested us as they were dressed in 1920's type clothes (we poked fun at them but they seemed not to notice us). I knew someone who was working at the Hall that weekend and asked about the group~ but they knew nothing about it and said that Double Glazing Sales traing had occured that weekend. On visiting the hall a few days later~ I noticed that the frony lawn was patchy and lumpy - unsuitable for a decent croquet match~ so why take the trouble to dress up? The third experience happened minutes later - after seeing the croquet party. Further down the track~ towards Bannister Green? we saw an old man who caught our attention as he was dressed raggedly I suppose like Charlie Chaplin. He was rather eccentric in appearance and was unwashed like a tramp I guess~ but neither my friend or myself recognised him as a character from the village - we thought we knew all the village larger than life characters (and there were a few)** Approx. 2 years later~ I saw some old photographs of Eccleston and believed that I saw this same old man standing outside a cottage - the writing on the back of the photo revealed him to be the 'Pig-killer' of no-fixed-abode. Was this the same man? If so~ he was already old and white-haired in the 1890's!?**I am not a firm believer in ghosts - the people I saw seemed real and solid if not a little out of place and unaware of me - except for the pig-killer who shot my friend and I a filthy look. I am curious~ however~ If anyone else has seen anything like this around the same areas.
