The Sidcot Conjurer | George Beacham and the Haunted Mendips : Folklore of the Westcountry

Published 1 month ago
Description

In the small Somerset village of Sidcot, George Beacham was remembered as a cattle doctor, a conjurer, and a man with knowledge of the old ways. When his final burial wish was ignored, the story says his widow’s cottage erupted with moving furniture, falling household goods, and the sound of the dead man’s boots coming slowly down the stairs.
