WLP Headed to the famous Donkey Wood
..................................................................
The haunt of highwaymen

For many years this area was the haunt of highwaymen, those footpads who held up stagecoaches on route to London from the west, or vice versa.

It was so notorious that gibbets were placed along what is now the Staines Road.

Spectre of murdered girl in woods

In 1980 the body of a young girl was discovered in the woods beside the river.

She had been on her way to school when she was attacked and strangled by an unknown assailant.

Her ghost was frequently seen by people using the golf course and by others.

She ceased to appear on a regular basis after a memorial stone was erected in the place where her body was found. This murder has never been solved.

Other assorted ghosts

In 1792, two workmen were killed when the gunpowder mill exploded. One man’s ghost has been seen close by to the old gunpowder workings, a vestige of the former industry for which this area was well known.

A phantom female cyclist has also been seen on the bank of the river near to the entrance of Brazil Mill Wood.

It was interesting to note the increase in insect activity in the parts of the wood and river bank where ghosts have been reported, including the part where the ghostly horse was heard.
