The Phantom Skating Drummer of Hickling Broad

Source: Ghost Catcher Isle website

In the misty evenings of February it is possible to spot the phantom skating drummer of Hickling Broad in Norfolk. In life the spectre was an army drummer who deserted his regiment before it was embarked to Belgium to face Napoleon in 1815. While keeping his head down, the errant drummer met and fell in love with a local lass from Potter Heigham. Naturally the lovers were forced to meet in secret, but their tryst was aided by a hard winter and the fact that throughout February Hickling Broad was frozen over, enabling the lovesick soldier to skate to his assignation with his young mistress at Swim Coots. Inevitably, as the weather imperceptibly turned milder, one night the thawing ice gave way under the drummer’s skates and the young man slid into the freezing water and was drowned. Thereafter, in the late winter in the Broad, the soldier can be heard, and seen, drumming a sad rhythm, allegedly to summon his long-dead girlfriend to a final night of love.
