The Mysterious Case of Sarah Duckett 

News of the Times Episode 359 | 1881 

 March 1874 in the quiet village of Stretton Church.  Sarah Duckett arrives back to her home town by train with two, broken and dilapidated boxes.  And then she just vanishes. September 1881 and William Roberts is walking the two miles at night back home from a business meeting.  He senses someone following, sees a woman on the path behind him and waits for her to catch up.  She does not.  

There is no sound of footfall – only the rustling of her dress.  He moves on then waits again.  She comes no closer. He then dashes away only to see her in front of him as a ghostly apparition.  It is Sarah Duckett! This ghostly tale made the international papers in its time.  We take a look at the back story, the event and the post script of the mysterious case of Sarah Duckett in today’s episode of Frightful Fridays. 

Hosted by Robin Coles.
