Notes About The Poem

The Ghost of Charlotte Dymond

Charlotte died in eighteen–forty-four,
Murdered on Cornwall’s, 
On Cornwall’s, Bodmin Moor,
Those seeing the ghost are very sure,
It’s poor Charlotte,
Poor Charlotte, who still walks the moor.

A monument erected is there till this day,
Marking the spot,
The spot, where she did last lay.
Those seeing the ghost are very sure,
It’s poor Charlotte,
Poor Charlotte, who still walks the moor.

Was it her murderer the police did arrest?
But if so, why can’t her spirit,
Her sprit, now find its rest?
For those seeing the ghost are very sure,
It’s poor Charlotte,
Poor Charlotte, who still walks the moor ...

The murder of Charlotte Dymond is a true story, which occurred in 1844. My poem 'Charlotte Dymond' tells the full story.

Hi Weston, Yes, there is a lot of doubt in whether or not the police convicted the right person in this case. My poem 'Charlotte Dymond' gives a fairly good overview of this true and tragic story ~ Clive :)
