WICKED LADY HOWARD,OKEHAMPTON AND LYDFORD CASTLES,DEVONSHIRE,ENGLAND |
| The ruins of Okehampton Castle in southwest Devon near Dartmoor, are protected by the ghost of a vicious black dog,but even more threating is an encounter with "Wicked Lady Howard", who rides past the castle every night in a coach made from the bones of her four husbands, all of whom she is said to have murdered. As part of an excorcism performed centuries ago, Lady Howard is committed to plucking one blade of grass from Okehamptom Park and bringing it to her home in Fitzford every night for all eternity.As cited earlier, she is also haunts Lydford Castle.International Directory of Haunted Places,p.40. |

I have heard about that black dog before, but not about Lady Howard. That is really interesting, just one blade of grass at a time, every day.. well, maybe the saying, "The grass is always greener on the other side " holds true in her case, Lol.. Good post!! |

When in England, I hated I did not have a chance to see this place. Maybe another time. |
