This is one of several blogs of haunted places in the United Kingdom's Isle of Man, that was written by Paul Dale Roberts, Halo Paranormal Investigations’ Esoteric Detective (www.cryptic916.com/) . I also had the pleasure of visiting England and you can read about my encounters with the ghosts there in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," available on Amazon. Here's this week's UK Haunted Place on the Isle of Man:
CASTLETOWN
If you’ve been to Castletown, you have seen the Smelt monument in the town square. On one side is a wooden plaque that states the fate of a local woman who was accused, along with her son, of riding broomsticks around fields to encourage crops to grow. Both were held as prisoners at Castle Rushen and on their last day were dressed in white gowns and taken by cart to Peel where they were put on display as a caution to would-be witches. Afterwards they were taken back to Castletown for execution by fire. Leslie McKinnon says that she has a actually seen 2 figures on fire riding broomsticks under the light of a full moon in Castletown. These 2 figures are known as the Castletown Fire Witches.
