In Search of Polly Peggs Ghost: We investigated The Village Legend

Following the Trail of Polly Peggs, the ghost of Cossington, it is a village tale that is supposed to be a true but tragic one. About After the John Ellis Lime building investigation in Barrow, we went over to Cossington to follow the trail of Polly Peggs. We didnt see her ghost although a friend watching Adrian Askew and my associate Donna did pick up a little something whether related or not is unknown we did sound recordings but the wind was to strong, however it was great, the thrill of hunt. The Story of Polly Peggs is a village classic and a tragic one read on for more.......... A ghostly figure of a woman with a long veil dancing on the field, with small trees in the background and a cloudy sky. In the small Leicestershire village of Cossington, under the Churchill Chestnut Tree, a public footpath runs from the north end of Main Street in to Crab Tree Lane. This public highway bears the sign Polly Peggs Footpath. Who is Polly Peggs? It was named after Polly Peggs, a village girl who at the time was courting with a boy from the neighbouring village of Sileby. After the third date with the boy, she stained her moral purity. A few months later, Polly found out she was pregnant. She was frightened and tried to hide her condition away from her parents for as long as possible. The White Shroud of Penance. The punishment for an illegitimate child at the time was to do the “The White Shroud Of Penance”; the offender was made stand in full view of the congregation during a Sunday service whilst wearing a white sheet and holding a burning candle in one hand with the bible in the other. The penitent was called upon to confess their fault, express regret, promise never to offend again, acknowledge the justice of the punishment, and finally, to make the humiliation complete, listen to the Minister deliver a scathing sermon. To complete the punishment, she then had to stay under the sheet for the rest of the day and night. Polly Peggs was ordered by her father to do this punishment, then never return home again. The Tragic Death Of Polly Peggs. It was still dark in the early morning when she left the church. She did not know what to do or where to go; she was in disgrace, and no one would help her.

In her distressed state of mind she ran across a nearby field, threw herself into a deep pond and drowned.The path she took eventually became a public right of way with the name Polly Peggs Footpath.Villagers have claimed to have seen the ghost of Polly Peggs running along this path as dawn breaks and when the moon is full.The photos below is an expression of Polly as she is seen, the other one is an example of the shroud of penance.
