Ince hall and the dead hand

[The church] is the most beautiful place you can imagine, has the air of a cathedral. Very ornate, lots of side altars, and St Edmund Arrowsmith’s Hand is in a glass dome in there …

Yup, his real hand, when I was little we had to kiss the dome, I remember watching it coming towards me down the altar, I swear to god I’d have left Lindford Christie standing, was gone in a nanno second.

The daughter also disappeared, but no one knew how or when. After many years the gardener turned up a skull in the garden with his spade, and the secret was revealed. When this took place the Hall had long been uninhabited; for the murdered daughter's ghost hung suspended in the air before the dishonest lawyer wherever he went. It is said that he spent the remainder of his days in Wigan, the victim of remorse and despair. There is a room in the Hall which is said to be haunted by the ghost of a young lady, and her shadowy form is frequently seen by the passers by hovering over the spot where her remains were buried.
