The Headless Pall-Bearers in Crane

The hamlet of Crane was formerly much troubled by spirits, such that the old folks were afraid to go out in the dark, as evidenced by this story:

One moonlit night a certain woman looked out of her bedroom window and saw four headless men carrying a coffin through the "townplace" (farmyard) below. So much was she affected by what she saw, she determined never to risk such a vision again.

Robert Hunt, Popular Romances of the West of England.)
