There were 12 documented reports of ghosts, most of which occurred at the crossroads which is known as “fright corner”. Here are some of them: 1. The screaming man This is the most famous ghost in the town. The terrifying screams belong to a man who used to work in a quarry and found a horrible death when a wall collapsed and crushed him. 2. The robber The robber Robert du Bois used to hide in the trunk of a dried oak in order to scare his victims. However, one day someone from the village knew the hiding and decided to take the law into his hands. He rammed the sword into the trunk of the tree and thus into the thief’s body. Today, the tree no longer exists, but the ghost of Robert still haunts the crossroads… 3. The old gypsy It is the ghost of a gypsy who was burned alive when she fell asleep with her pipe. 4.
