Derbyshire is a very haunted county i have tried too list many of the locations we have visited and also some we havent so if anyone out there can think of any i have missed just comment in the box below please

Winnats pass Castleton

We have visited this location many times and gathered some very good results,the area is haunted by a couple called Clara and Henry, back in those days it was frowned on to marry someone below your familys status.

Well Clara who was from a very rich strict family fell in love with Henry who was from a peasant background, her family refused to accept him so they eloped to the next village but too do this they had to pass through the foreboding cliffs of castleton.

Now during those days the life expectancy of a man was around 35 as from a young age they were encouraged to drink a lot to keep them going in the mines, they would spend most of there money in the local ale house, as the couple ventured up too the next village theminers who had been sat in the pub all day heard them approaching they jumped on them both Clara who was riding a horse side saddle and henry who was leadingthe horse were killed clara was hit over the head with a rock after the miners had violated her and henry who was trying too stop them was hit in the head by a hand held pick axe...both of there bodies were thrown into a cave, and many years later there bodies were found huddled together as if they hadnt died in the attack and were still clinging onto life in death .

They say that if you walk down there late at night you can still hear them screaming for there lives which we have experienced many time also the couple have been seen by other running up as if too plead for there lives
