Midnight Ghost Hunt
I was born in Little Baddow and was familiar with the story of Alice Mildmay and Jesse Berridge's book. One summer night three of us rode ponies down Riffhams Chase to Great Graces and down Grace's Walk, arriving at midnight. We crossed the bridge (the one in the photo) and all I can remember after that is that all three ponies turned and galloped back up towards the house. We returned home up Colam Lane, where there is supposed to be another haunting, in the pond at the bend in the road. I think the ponies picked up our midnight ghost hunt tension but it was exciting!

RE: RE: Midnight Ghost Hunt
My friend and I walked along Grace's Walk with our bikes in the late 70s (1978/79). We were about 10 years old. As we approached the bridge we were attacked by a swarm of bees and were stung badly. A lovely lady in a nearby house helped us. My next-door-neighbour said her dogs always refused to cross the bridge.
