The day all the family went to the Hardwick Inn, Derbyshire for my brother in law's 70th and my nephew's 40th birthdays. I re-told the story of the day I saw the Grey Lady in the park.
It was a bright & sunny September day in 1962, I was around 8 at the time. My dad & me had gone on our bikes to Hardwick Park to collect conkers. We were going from one conker tree to the next, collecting as we went. I was in front of my dad when we got close to the steps in the hillside, WHEN at the bottom of the steps, I saw a Grey Lady. She had a long grey dress on, which was buttoned up to the neck. Her face was grey. Her hair was grey & her shoes were grey ! I turned round & shouted to my dad to look, but I as turned back round & my dad looked up, it was too late, she was gone ! There was no time in that split moment of time for her to have gone up the steps or move behind a tree, not dressed like that. My dad never said you must have imagined it, because he knew I was telling the truth.
I know what I saw & to this day I still believe I saw a ghost. To quote Max Boyce - I know it's true, because, I was there !
Old Hardwick Hall reached via the steps.
