The Haunting Hangman

Alice McKeegan
8/ 1/2008

BE AFRAID, be very afraid. One of Britain’s most notorious hangmen is back with a vengeance and could be haunting his former shop in Lowerplace.

John Ellis was Rochdale’s last public executioner and after a well-documented lifetime of dispatching others, he brought his own days to a gruesome end when he committed suicide in 1932.

   If they really want to find out who's haunting or if its really a haunting. I may be able to help, as I'm a member of a North West Paranormal investigations group. Ian

   Most Haunted is a load of rubbish you need real Ghost Hunters to use a scientific approach no a bunch of scared screaming retards afraid of their own shadows!

   Can you not talk to him Susan and ask him to get back to his old job?

He is needed more now than he ever was.

   A pity he is not alive today to give true justice to the drug dealers who plague Rochdale.
