Bosworth Summit Pound, a Ghost Story by L.T.C. Rolt

Bosworth Summit Pound, another chilling tale by the hand of LTC Rolt, presented here as a ghostly thrill for those still and silent evenings... Cold Bosworth is a quiet village in the wolds, seated on a limestone ridge that forms part of England's central spine. Like any country idyll it has a fair share of secrets and surprises, among them the strange reputation that lingers about a nearby length of the old Great Central Canal. Generations of local boatmen have avoided tying up here, and the tunnel that lies along the section has a singularly unpleasant atmosphere... but what connection could this have to a strangely-inscribed tombstone in the village churchyard, and the terrifying experience that befell one traveller in 1932, when he was unforunate enough to moor up along the Bosworth Summit Pound...
