THE GHOST OF A 1582 WITCH CARRIED IN A STRETCHER,WAS PHOTOGRAPHED BY A RETIRED BRITISH POLICEMAN.

                        According to Mailonline,a retired policeman claims to have captured a picture of a ghost carrying the body of a witch on a stretcher.55 years old Chris Halton,was visiting one of Britain's most haunted houses called the ''Cage'' and he took the picture on Coffin Alley which runs behind the property.It was there he claimed to see a hooded figure clutching a stretcher and two fainter figures following after him.The Cage in St Osyth village in Essex,served as a prison for those convicted of witchcraft in thr Elizabethan era.Fourteen women were imprisoned while awaiting trial,including Ursula Kemp who was executed in 1582.She was reportedly the most powerful and notorious of all the women,making her living as a midwife and a healer.She has a reputation of removing spells from locals who though they were being attacked by black magic and many would go to her for medicines.The building was still being used as a jail right up until early 20th century.In light of this,Mr Halton who retired as a police officer to investigate ghosts full time paid a visit to the house dubbed one of the UK's most haunted houses by TV series Great Britain Ghosts.He left the property around midnight and walked down Coffin Alley,which was said to have been used to remove the bodies of witches who died while held at the cottage.More photos below.
