Ghosts In Spaldwick!
A Memory of Spaldwick.
I only lived in Spaldwick for about 6 months from December 1968 to May 1969. Just married, with a baby, we rented a farm cottage to the west (?) of the village green, the lane leading to the church was next to it. One night in January or February all was quiet on a very cold and frosty night. We were both fast asleep until my wife woke me and said "Someone's knocking on the back door!". We both crept downstairs and indeed there was a loud knocking on the door. I picked up a poker and moved to the door,I was more angry than scared and as quick as I could I threw the bolt and opened the door, there was nothing there. I went out and had a good look round but there was not a sign of anyone. Our garden backed onto the cemetery! I cannot explain this at all and it never occurred again while we were there but I never forgot! I think about this time a secret room was found upstairs in the pub? I used to cycle to Kimbolton every morning and a company bus from Northampton would pick me up and drive to the airfield at Little Staughton where I worked as an aircraft electrician for Brooklands aviation. I was very envious of all the American airmen in their big cars driving to Alconbury!
