With it coming up to Halloween shortly I wondered if anyone has had any ghostly experiences what with Stamford being such an old town. Have searched a few websites and heard a few stories including one about the pool table in the Millstone pub on All Saints Street moving on its own accord. Also the ghostly woman spotted in a window with no legs on Scotsgate. Be interesting to know if anyone out there has had any experiences of their own

I've been in the Millstone a few times and I'm sure the tables moved a few times, and I've also seen quite a few legless women up Scotgate too.

Nice one, Sid.
There used to be a talk around Stamford about St.Leonard`s Priory. After Henry VIII suppressed the monasteries in the 1530s he sent his Commissioners to Stamford to confiscate all the Church treasure. The six monks at the Priory pleaded poverty and said they had no treasure. A few nights before they had taken their treasure to the Nunnery at Newstead and buried it. If you are on Uffington Road at midnight on New Year`s Eve you may see the six monks retracing their steps from the Priory to Newstead to check that the treasure is safe but if you try to follow them they will disappear.
(If you are arrested at midnight on Uffington Road it may be wise to have some other reason for being there).
