ALSO OUTSIDE, I FELT I WAS BEING STRANGLED. ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT IT WAS THE PLACE WHERE PEOPLE USED TO GET HUNG.....

That sounds pretty amazing Angel.
The fact that you felt you were being srangled was very interesting. In the early to mid Victorian & pre Victorian days of hanging the noose would have been placed around the neck & then the person would have been lifted strate up off the ground.
They would have died of slow strangulation. It could have taken 15 to 30 minutes to have died in this way.
One case that I have heard of, was of a woman whose baby died The woman was tried for its murder & was found guilty.
She was sentanced to hang.
It is said that it took her 30 minutes to die of slow strangulation.
In those days after an execution, the dead would have been taken for medical studies. where their bodies would have been cut up for medical experiments. All prisoners to be executed were terrified of this. In fact they were more terrified by this than being hung.
In Victorian times the body had to be whole for the spirit to make its way to heaven.
Anyway the woman after being hung was taken to the anatomist for medical studies.
Just as the anatomist was about to start doing these medical studies he see the woman breath. At first he could not belive what he had seen but on further investigation of her body he found that she was still alive but only just.
He revived her to full health.
It was then that the poor woman was told that she would have to go on trial for the murder of her baby again.
This time at her trial there was a huge diference to her first trial.
The midwife who was not alould in court at her first trial was there. The midwife told the court that the baby had died in child birth & that the woman was inocent of murder.
The woman went on to marry & within a few years she & her husband had three babys of their own.
At the time of her survived hanging it was believed that it was divine intervention that saved her from death
I saw this on a programe about a year back. It was about the tales of hanging & medical anatomists in the 18th century. Unfortunatly I can not remember the womans name
Best wishes

I found Most Haunted interesting last night. There was a small refrence to my above posting.
There was not a great deal more said about it except that. The Guest medium said that he had come across a spirit of a woman that said that she hung but how she said that she got away with it.
The historian said that this was corect but she was not going to say anymore because there was more to the case.
She was refering to the woman who was hung for murdering her baby but was later found inocent, after surviving her hanging.
I was most amazed, due to the fact that I had just wrote about this story.
hi, this is really intresting.
poor woman. its terrible when people r accused of things they did not do....
I did not go to the meeting, but years ago worked for the than landlord and landlady. I always did feel slighty uncomfortable in the barn, it was my job to clean up after weddings etc
One day whist polishing tables i happened to look up and could see something drifting across the room, I have no idea what it was, there was no proper shape to it. The only way i can disscribe what it looked was a floating mist, that did not leave me scared just shocked.
Hi i was there at this event and some of the pictures i took had a mist on them which we couldn't explain as no one was smoking. Will see if i can find it!
