CronxWatch, the off-beat local YouTube video channel, has served up a ghoulish collection of stories of murderers and hauntings just in time for Halloween.
Centre of the action: David Weir presenting CronxWatch from Croydon High Street
Though it delivered up one small mystery of its own: what happened to the tale of the Lloyd Park ghoul?
In the eight minutes or so of this latest CronxWatch report, presented by David Weir, the promised tale of a ghost in Lloyd Park… well, vanishes.
But give the film a watch, and you’ll find out more about how Croydon Minster has been haunted by at least one Archbishop of Canterbury, you’ll learn all about how one of Malcolm Allison’s stunts as Crystal Palace manager back-fired and saw Selhurst Park cursed by some nine-bob magician, and then there’s also the notorious case of the dodgy pub landlady who would boil her customers…
As one of CronxWatch’s fans says, “I don’t know if it’s the spookiest London borough, but people definitely seem afraid to go out at night in Croydon.”
