One of the most captivating ghost legends that have been passed through generations in the area revolves around Lady Mary Howard. Born as Mary Fitz, Lady Mary was only 13 when she married the Earl of Suffolk’s son, Thomas Howard. Thomas died only four years after their marriage under mysterious circumstances. After his death, Mary was said to live in solitude and her life was filled with peculiarities, which later fermented into local folklore. Lady Mary resided in Fitzford House in Tavistock, Devon, which is near the provided latitude and longitude. Legend has it that the grieving widow was so consumed by guilt over her young husband’s death that she pledged to ride from Fitzford House to Okehampton Castle, some 20 miles away, every day. The unusual part is that she rode a ghastly carriage drawn by a pack of headless dogs led by a headless horseman. And as if that was not unusual enough, her carriage was reported to be made entirely of bones. Most specifically – the bones of her four dead husbands with the spectral journey taking place during the eerie silence of midnight. Witnesses swore they saw her frightening procession and heard the chilling rattle of the bone-coach racing across Dartmoor, an uncanny testimony to a woman’s guilt and a macabre dance of the undead. Whatever the truth, the tale of Lady Mary Howard, the ghostly female Bluebeard and her grisly bone-coach remains one of Devon’s most enduring legends.
