Otherworld North East

Down in Blanchland itself, the Lord Crewe Arms is said to be one of the most haunted
buildings in the region, haunted by the aggrieved and worried spirit of Dorothy Forster as
well as white cowled monks.
In Stamfordham, Northumberland, residents of the flats and houses that now occupy the
building which once was an inn where the first plots are said to have been hatched report
numerous ghostly goings-on, as does the Miner’s Arms in Warworth where the Jacobean
leaders are said to have stayed and eaten a meal.
Across in Cumbria, Nenthead, once owned by the earl of Derwentwater, also sees its share
of ghosts, a diagnostic investigation at the Mining Museum there showing up surprising
results…
It seems that wherever the Jacobite cause held sway, you will find tales of ghosts and the
supernatural as well as excellent historical remains and rich history.
