Brenda Evans House Part 2

Brenda Evans, of Yew Tree Cottage, Poulton, was murdered on October 7, 1977, while on her lunch-break from Poulton post office and general stores where she worked. As part of her usual daily routine she had walked half a mile to her uncle and aunt’s house for something to eat and then bid them goodbye before setting off back to work. But postmaster Samuel Roberts was surprised she did not return at the usual time and when Brenda’s mum called in at the shop that afternoon she became concerned. Friends and neighbours began to search along the route she would normally have taken. It was her fiancé’s mother Edith Pritchard who made the grim discovery in the woods. Brenda had been strangled with her own tights and dumped down a 12ft manhole – just 500 yards from a field where her fiancé, 20-year-old farm worker John Pritchard, had been cutting hedges that afternoon. Mr Pritchard was questioned for 27 hours and was not released from police bail for four weeks but was never charged. #abandoned #streetghosts #abandonedplaces #ghostarea #urbanadventure #urbanactivity #urban #urbex #urbexuk #paranormal #paranormalactivity #paranormalinvestigation #spooky #horror #mystery #ghostlyadventures #theunexplained
