A group of King George's soldiers came to an old inn and bound the landlord's daughter to her bed. They threatened her with muskets and kissed her, warning that a dead man would visit her by moonlight. She managed to free a finger and touch the trigger of a musket under her breast. When a highwayman rode towards the inn, she shot herself to warn him, dying in the process. The highwayman fled but was later shot down. To this day, it is said that on winter nights, a highwayman's ghost still comes riding to the old inn, tapping on the shutters, searching for the landlord's daughter.
