A very strange ghost story is associated with Kensal Green Cemetery, London. In the early 20th century, a wealthy and fashionable publisher - lost in the vast Victorian necropolis - stumbled upon the forlorn grave of an ex-lover. He made a note of the grave number, thinking he could pay to have it done up. But that very number - via some new-fangled telephone technology - would end up summoning her ghost to his house. Here's a tale of telephones, class, supernatural passions and some very persistent graveyard dirt.

This stunning mosaic headstone sits in my local churchyard in Madeley, Shropshire. It commemorates the life of a young boy, who died in tragic circumstances. Handmade by his mother, it's a testament to her love.

Charles Arthur Turner deserves to be remembered
