When Marc Hughes, the larger-than-life presenter of the TV show Paranormal Takedown, receives a series of increasingly desperate voice mail messages from his childhood friend Jack claiming that a great evil is loose in Shropshire, he is sceptical....
The #IsleOfWight tells the story of Ginger Tom — a cat that is said slide in and out of people’s letter boxes through the night. If you meet him, and offer him a special type of gingerbread (named after him) he will grant you his ear and give you advice.
But here’s the rub, if he does not like the treat he will not tell you, but his advice will be bad. It is only he enjoys the ginger that he will give you good advice.
If however, he visits and you have nothing to offer, then Ginger Tom will leave, never to visit you again.
A fresh batch of Ginger Toms was baked just this morning: they are thick and soft and made with real ginger.

I've recently rewritten the story of Martha- The ghost of Dawley Parish Church. Though an incredibly sad story, Martha, and the women she came to represent, deserve to be remembered. You can read all about her tragic tale below
