I think it was one of Tommy Coopers; I had the pleasure of telling it to Spleen in person the other night at a gig we were doing for the Wigan Area Society for Paranormal Study and Investigation...

Yesterday we visited the grave of Meg Shelton / Skelton, alleged witch of Woodplumpton, near Preston, Lancashire, UK, circa 1705, whose final resting place is marked by the huge boulder they rolled over her to stop her crawling out - as she had a habit of doing, post mortem! Touching to see an offering of carnations.
