All this crap about a ghost at Dunkenhalgh was laid to rest back in 1914. The Accrington Pals were on a night exercise in the grounds at Dunkenhalgh.
That ghost was mist rising off the river.
Never yet heard of a ghost that will face a Lee Enfield Rifle with 2 ft of cold steel on the end.
As for that bloke who does the ghost walks, he's come with some right corkers, when challenged he doesn't reply.
