 The church in Walberswick has been haunted for many years by the figure of a small, stooping man.
George Orwell claimed to have seen him on the 22nd July 1931. He was sketching when he noticed a small man dressed in brown enter the churchyard and head towards the church. Orwell followed him but found that he had vanished through a locked door! No one knows who the ghost could be. The common is haunted by a phantom dog and the sound of galloping horses. The old railway line has a sinister reputation. Strange moaning sounds have been heard along the overgrown track. Locals claim that dogs and horses are reluctant to walk there.

I know that this news happened a lot of decades ago, but I just want to say that I believe in ghosts and other elements that might be here on earth. If George Orwell was able to see it vividly then that means that what he saw was real. I guess, we need to accept the fact that there are people who can see ghosts while there are some who cannot. I don't know if you are lucky if you see some or not, but it is a gift that you must treasure.
