Bull Hole Farm

Bull Hole Farm

Bull Hole Farm, located in the Borough of Pendle, Lancashire, England, has a long and eerie history dating back to the 17th century. The farm gained notoriety during the infamous Pendle Witch Trials of 1612, when it was mentioned in connection to alleged witchcraft activities in the area.

The farm’s most famous ghost story revolves around the spirit of Elizabeth Southerns, also known as “Old Demdike.” She was one of the accused witches during the trials and was said to have lived near Bull Hole Farm. According to local lore, her ghost has been seen wandering the fields surrounding the property, often described as an old woman in tattered clothing.

Another recurring apparition reported at Bull Hole Farm is that of a young girl, believed to be Alice Nutter, another victim of the witch trials. Witnesses claim to have seen her ghost near the farmhouse, sometimes accompanied by the sound of muffled crying.

Paranormal activity at the farm includes unexplained noises, such as footsteps and whispers, particularly in the older parts of the building. Some visitors have reported sudden temperature drops and feelings of being watched or touched by unseen entities.

Objects have allegedly moved on their own, and farm animals have been known to become inexplicably agitated, especially at night. Local folklore suggests that these occurrences are linked to the restless spirits of those accused during the witch trials.

In the 1970s, a farm worker reported seeing a spectral procession of figures dressed in 17th-century clothing, walking across the fields before vanishing into thin air. This sighting has since been corroborated by other witnesses over the years.
