The Grey Lady of Oxney Bottom has been spotted on many ocassions in Ringwould, near Deal. The origins of this spooky female form are unclear, with some stories stating she was killed in a carriage accident and mown down by horses, and others saying it was the plague of 1665-1666 which ended her life. It is said that she hobbles as she glides, and has a sense of sadness around her. A story from 1967 says that she boarded a local bus, however when the conductor followed her upstairs to check her ticket, it was completely empty. She is most often seen in Freedown Woods, although many motorists have reported a lady in a grey coat stepping out in front of their vehicle making them swerve to avoid her. Perhaps she is seeking vengeance on the carriage which ran her over some centuries ago...
The Grey Lady is a silver and black crackle effect ghost.
Each Kent Coast Ghost is carefully handcrafted from clay and goes through several processes, which include drying, sanding, sealing, painting, and finally varnishing, (dependent on the final finish).
We don't use moulds to create Kentish ghosts; every feature is added by hand using traditional clay tools, and this gives each ghost its own unique features. Some of our ghosts are not perfectly straight, or may have different expressions in their eyes and faces, and each ghost is individually hand-painted so may contain slightly different patterning to the ghost pictured.
All of our ghosts will be sent in a gift box with a Certificate of Authenticity especially for your ghost, and yours alone. These are put in a special envelope sealed with our very own special spooky wax seal ready for the Ghost Post to deliver them to their new Ghost Host!

All sizes are approximate and may vary.
All of our clay is weighed equally and individually shaped entirely by hand. Other factors, such as humidity can affect the drying process of the clay, and therefore affect the size of our ghosts as well as the shape.
