A RE-VISITATION
AT THE VOLUNTEER INN

 
THREE  GHOSTS  CELEBRATED  THE  MILLENNIUM  IN  STYLE
AT  LYME  REGIS,  DORSET,  SOUTH WEST, ENGLAND, uk

Apparitions, spectres, phantoms  or just spooks.
Have the musketeers returned?
Report by Richard J. Fox M.B.E.

 
On the night of the 1st. January 2000 a lady stayed overnight in The Volunteer Inn.

In the early hours of the morning she was standing at the bar watching the staff clear up after the new year celebrations, other customers had left.

She reports that suddenly the atmosphere went cold and a shiver ran through her spine.

He knows all about the local ghosts, apparitions, phantoms, spectres, spooks and musketeers.
She turned around to find three men dressed in large floppy felt hats.

They, she described, were dressed colourfully in Musketeers' style of clothing with broad baldric belts and buckles and drinking from pewter tankards.

 

 
As the local ghost tour operator, I have many ghosts stories recanted to me which in the main have been handed down in families by word of mouth. I know the Volunteer Inn well having been the landlord there for seven years. At that time the locals warned me that the building was haunted, it was not long before I had my own encounters.
One of the bar-men has of late seen shadows coming down the stairs but on investigation found no one.
There has been much speculation as to who the Musketeers are, perhaps they are officers from the 8 week Civil War Siege of Lyme Regis in 1644.
Most of the buildings in Lyme have been undisturbed by renovation since then.
We all now eagerly await their next appearance.

Visit Lyme Regis, Dorset, South West, UK and try to seek them out.
