Wanderings through Britains Haunted History
Wardlow Mires, Tideswell
At Wardlow Mires, cyclists have reported feeling invisible hands gripping their throats while resting by the roadside. This phenomenon has been linked in local tradition to the 1815 murder of toll bar keeper Hannah Oliver by Anthony Lingard of Tideswell. Lingard was executed for the crime and his body displayed in chains on nearby Peter’s Stone. The site is associated with sensations of strangulation rather than visible apparitions.
