On the streets of Leeds after the sun has set, People have herd the cries of a young woman. Supposedly Dragged to Death by a horse she was tied to. Is it a story of Tragedy , or a story of brutal murder?
I am Joseph Penello And I have recently made it my mission to not only Investigate this haunting but to try and solve the mystery behind it.
The Main story is this: General William Salisbury (of the Union Army) Lived in the town of Leeds and Like Most Respectable Men of the time Had servants. one night One of his servants, a Young woman either ran away or went out without permission. Salisbury supposedly went out to find her. When he did he tied her hands to the Horse and started riding off some say the horse got spooked and bucked salisbury off , others say he deliberately set the horse off, But either way the horse ran and dragged the young woman to death. They say Salisbury was charged and convicted of murder and sentenced to death, but due to his hi rank in society and friends in high places his date of punishment was scheduled for his 99th birthday. Until then he would have to wear a rope around his neck when in public, and appear in front of the court once every year. Soon the rope became a Silk Handkerchief . The townspeople though knew what shame the handkerchief meant. They say his 99th birthday came and went and he died in his bed at the age of 100.
People say they can see and hear the ghost of a horse dragging a screaming Girl / skeleton down Old Coxackie Road , And in front of Salisbury Manor in Leeds they say you can see a woman in gray pointing at the house as you go by.
