The Legend of Witherwood Thicket
Around the fireplaces at this time of year the villagers of Witherwood Thicket share the old tradions of telling ghost stories, the most popular being that of the Ice River:
The boat beit small was captained by a proud young man, during a journey home ward one Christmas time the boat was crushed by the ice and its captain leap to saftey on the broken ice.. Considered by locals as Abandoning his vessel, and the loss of two mens lives- the family of the captain were scroned... Not able to love with this shame, the young captain braved the winter storm again several days later and disapeared under the ice and snow - where part of his boat still stuck with her forward bow pointing to the skys... As christmas nears the villagers to this day say they see the young captain walking across the ice..
It is said as the years spun forward the captains bride would walk the ice every winter calling to him, untill one Christmas cold eve - she also disapeared into the mist.. It is said she also stil walks the ice looking sky ward and crying for gods help to find her husband..

Gathering around their fires to share ghost stories was a beloved Christmas tradition in the late 1800s into the early 1900s. Victorians also sent bizarre Christmas cards with morbidly humorous designs featuring murderous frogs and anthropomorphic insects
