Mysterious
Lincolnshire
Daniel Codd
Lincolnshire is an ancient county, it's perception
as a quiet rural location belied by the fact that
the area has seen centuries of tumultuous history.
Settlements and ruins from bygone eras scatter the
landscape, and these locations - often isolated and
surrounded by lonely lanes and the open countryside
Lincolnshire is famous for - hide many legends and
mysterious secrets from bygone times right up until
the present day. Dragons lie buried in hillsides…..
fairy folk once shared our environment with us, and
maybe phantom hounds and the black panthers of the
Wolds still do. Perhaps the ingrained fear of Satan
and witchcraft lingers still in remoter communities.
Stories of miracles and portents are attached to
the churches, and in particular to the magnificent,
Medieval Lincoln Cathedral. These days ancient mysteries
compete with modern enigmas. In the towns and villages
there is scarcely a stately home, public house or
hotel that does not harbor an attendant ghost, and
in many residential houses poltergeists have made
their sinister presences felt. Off the east coast,
a giant sea serpent has been on-and-off reported.
In the skies, phantom planes have been seen and strange
otherworldly lights are regularly witnessed: are
UFOs taking an interest in Lincolnshire's RAF bases?
This book is designed to illustrate that the counties
of Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire and North
Lincolnshire are truly a land of mystery where strange,
ancient stories are still told - and where even today
in the 21st century the most curious, supernatural
and frightening of events are still reported.
