The serene country park near Greater Manchester which has been 'haunted' by a ghost for centuries
It's a serene country park, nestled in stunning woodland, that's just a few miles from Greater Manchester. But it's also home to the legend of a ghost which has reportedly spooked locals for centuries.
The sculpture was crafted by artist Simon O'Rourke in 2019 and 2020. It depicts a two-faced woman and was carved out of a tree that had died from salt poisoning, caused by a leaking pipe. He would return to Marbury some time later when he would discover, much to his dismay, that his family had arranged a marriage for him. But when he met her, he would fall in love again and would marry as per the family's wishes, forgetting all about his Egyptian lover.
The family were not keen on having a wooden chest containing remains in the hall, so they buried the Egyptian woman at the nearby churchyard in Great Budworth. But that's when the hauntings began.
