The Story

The spirit called Hestor is associated with Winterwood's old Hildreth House. HauntedPlaces.org lists footsteps, flickering lamps and objects moving, and describes a sign acknowledging the ghost. A shopper's account recalls an unseen push near the fireplace and, on a later visit, an ornament seeming to be pulled sideways from her hand.
