The Headless Horseman Of Halton Village
(This is a fictional horror story) Monday – 9/5/22: Throughout the years, many have speculated the existence of ghosts and spirits. Is there an afterlife? Is death really the end, or do we still linger on as lost spirits. These questions can never truly be answered. You either believe in the occult, find it non-sense or you are somewhere in-between, entirely unsure whether or not the supernatural exists. Well, an old friend of mine, Andrew Bates, would tell you it's all real! He first encountered his greetings with the dead, all the way back in 2001, a good 21 years ago when he was just a young boy in school. This was during that infamous murder case known as: The Skinners Incident, where a killer was going around town, skinning people alive! It was sick, but many (including Andrew) dared say that the killer had a paranormal origin. However whenever I mention this to him, he proclaims that this was all real and that the demon tormented him first, appearing as a black skeletal creature, with multiple wings and limbs like a Spider crossed with a Bat. It all sounded so ridiculous, even I doubted his sanity. There is one case however that is still fresh on all of our minds. The case which involved several mysterious be-headings near the areas of Halton Castle. This first began in 2011 a good 10 years after the bizarre murders in Runcorn and again; police were completely dumbfounded by the series of killings. No evidence to point fingers, they seemed to happen at random and I even met a woman who said she saw her boyfriend's head tear off by itself and fall to the ground in front of her, like some phantom ghost had chopped the man's head off with an invisible sword. Many who dared walk by the castle around 1-3am would sometimes be found be-headed and others have claimed to see a skeletal horse and headless knight in black, chase them around the castle grounds. These killings stopped by 2012 and nobody has mentioned the headless horseman since. Yet I've often heard echoes of a horse clattering across the castle grounds at night and some have even heard a man speak in old English screaming things like; "I strike you!", "You're all dead!" and "Have at it, fools!". Many find these bizarre occurrences to be humorous, but there is certainly a dark undertone to all of this. On some quiet mornings when nobody is around, I've heard many say that you can almost hear the faint war cries of ancient warriors battling over the castle and many say this ends with a horrifying scream that only lasts ten seconds, the same time a headless man is still conscious, before dying. Very creepy stuff, but it's hard to say if it's all just our imaginations playing tricks on us, being fully aware of the horrifying myth that surrounds the place. I'm fairly new to this town, only moving here in 2020 after the pandemic, I had to move somewhere cheap and settled into the Runcorn old town. I'll have to ask Andrew more about this when I next see him, for he's lived here all his life and he claims to be a psychic. As you probably guessed.

The Devil's Playground
The church was empty, but for a single figure seated at the back. He wore a long, black coat and a wide-brimmed hat that obscured his face in shadows. His presence was unsettling, and those who passed him felt a chill run down their spine. But they couldn't quite put their finger on why.
