In 1894 was Shakespeare's ghost looking for treasure at Kirkstall Abbey, Leeds? Medium looks for treasure using info from Shakespeare's ghost
In this second article about the weirdness surrounding Kirkstall Abbey (see The Kirkstall Abbey Ghost Hunt) I uncover the claims of a Biggleswade medium who believed he was in communication with the ghost of Shakespeare, further more he had been instructed to dig for hidden treasure...
If you drop a line to the notorious or celebrated Mr Stead, you will find that I have supplied him with every interesting circumstance in the private life of Shakespeare, from infancy to his death. There are over one hundred episodes, none of which were known before Shakespeare himself gave them to me. There are over a thousand pages of manuscript. In these are also 200 new songs and glees! I scarcely know any author, except perhaps Burns, who has ever written 200 songs and glees. Of myself it would have been impossible to have written them.
