THE STORY

Reported Haunting

Lower Well Head Farm is closely associated with the Pendle witch trials of 1612 and was traditionally the home of accused witch Anne Whittle, better known as Chattox. The property and surrounding area have long been linked to ghost stories and unexplained activity attributed to the tragic events surrounding the accused Pendle witches.

This was the site of a series of witch trials in 1612. 10 mysterious murders resulted in the conviction and torture of around a dozen people who still remain here. Dark figures are seen outside; inside, people have reported hearing the sounds of something being dragged. A little girl is also heard crying and is believed to be that of a child whose mother and grandmother were both convicted.
