In the heart of Somerset lies the enchanting city of Wells adorned with a magnificent cathedral bearing a ghost story cloaked in the ancient folds of time. This cathedral is renowned as the Ghost Cathedral or as locals fondly call it ‘The Ghostly Wells’. The cathedral is hailed as a fine example of Early English Gothic Architecture, but it’s the unofficial residence of its ghostly inhabitant, George Brown, that draws people to its sacred grounds. The story of George Brown’s haunting started in the early 20th century. George Brown, a man with a great zeal for life and an impressive record of service, served as a verger in the cathedral. Alas, life had a cruel shock in store for Brown. He was accused of stealing from the Cathedral, a crime he vehemently denied. However, the authorities turned a deaf ear to his pleas and he was dismissed from his position. Deeply hurt by the false allegations, George Brown passed away, but not before swearing to haunt the cathedral until his name was cleared. Since then, numerous visitors and locals have reported sightings of a man, fitting George’s description, wandering the cathedral grounds. Some have heard the echo of his keys jangling, while others have noticed a light glowing from the vergers’ vestry, a place Brown once tended to. In the dead of the night, his ghostly form has been sighted, slowly pacing the hallowed corridors, tirelessly carrying on his duties in the afterlife. Whether George Brown truly haunts The Ghostly Wells, or if it’s simply a manifestation of guilt felt by those who knew the truth, is still a subject of speculation. But one thing is certain, George Brown, in life and afterlife, refuses to be forgotten.
