The ghost of the “white lady” is said to appear in the village of Worstead in Norfolk, England, every Christmas Eve and she has even been seen in a photograph. And depending on which version of the story you believe, she is either a kind ghost who can heal people, or a spirit who will scare you.
According to the story, the “white lady” appears at exactly midnight every Christmas Eve at St. Mary’s Church. One Christmas Eve in the 1830s, a drunk man told his friends that he wasn’t afraid of the ghost and that if he saw her, he would offer to kiss her. He told his friends that he would ring the church bells so that they knew he made it there to face the alleged ghost. He then walked off towards the church and his friends waited in anticipation but when the Christmas bells didn’t ring, they got worried and decide to check on the man. When they found him, he was collapsed in the bell chamber. He was shivering, claiming that he had seen the ghost and then suddenly died.
Fast forward to 1975, and the White Lady was seen again – and this time, claimed the witness, she could prove it.
One hot summer’s day 44 years ago, Diane Berthelot believed she unwittingly had her photo taken with the White Lady while visiting the church – but it didn’t frighten her. Mrs Berthelot said she had never heard of the ghost when she, husband Peter and their 12-year-old son David visited the old weaving village of Worstead on Saturday August 2 1975, during one of their regular holidays in Norfolk from their then home in Essex, and went inside the church to escape the heat.
