    I remember that. As kids we used to go up to Gawber churchyard for a dare.

    I'm reading Haunted Barnsley and it was in that. Don't believe owt, it was a Kindle deal!

    There's also a ghost on Hermit Lane - which l believe is near there.

    Can remember as a kid in Barnsley some story about a house that had a ‘presence ’ where there was supposed to be a walking move on it’s own and tap itself on the floor. Sounds daft now like.

    I was told in the 1980s by the Barnsley Odeon management that the murder occurred at the time the Exorcist film was being screened there but no-one made the connection.

    You don't think he watched the film and got the idea to bump his wife off and claim he was possessed and all his previous shenanigans with the church was his elaborate back story.

    Not at all, probably pure coincidence. It was mentioned to me simply because no one had made the link and people being people you’d think somebody would’ve jumped on that.

    The West Stand ghost is also in there, not heard of that story before.

    Probably Dave Regis.

    They should exorcise our defence, to get rid of the fear of crosses.
