It is suggested that the farm <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is haunted by a white knight<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is pretty obvious <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As all ghosts are white <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do you know that Martin <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you ever seen a ghost<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What about the Black Ghosts of Peru <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are making that one up <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe I am maybe not <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When was our ghost last reported <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1876 I believe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not exactly last week then<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How old is this farm <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mostly from the nineteenth century <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although some of the outbuildings are older<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There also used to be the Richardson Field<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell me more and don’t mess about<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In short this was where <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Richardson family<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Were laid to their eternal rest <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There used to be a chapel <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over there by the trees <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it took a direct hit during the war<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And was subsequently demolished <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Silly question but was the white knight<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the Richardson family<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do not know as nothing is known <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are no reliable records<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apart from a newspaper report <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which noted that strange noises <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Were being heard in the area of the farm<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether the sightings of a ghost are true<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One cannot tell as the Victorians <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Were very fond of their ghost stories<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This said in 1876 the chapel was still standing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And many of the family graves were visible<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was our farm ever owned by the Richardson’s <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes even as late as 1932 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The family retained an interest<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was the year when the farm<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was finally sold to Uncle Bill and Aunt Minnie <\/p>\n\n\n\n
