Brown's Folly 

Browne's Folly is a Tower on the Farleigh Rise near the village of Bathford in Somerset, England. The tower was built in 1845 by Colonel Wade Browne, the squire of Monkton Farleigh Manor, to provide employment during an agricultural recession. It replaced a semaphore tower which had previously stood on the site. In 1907 the tower was renovated by the owner of the estate. In 1643 the English Civil War was raging and a small battle took place nearby. There have been claims over the years that the spirit of a murdered young girl 'lives' in the area, haunting those who pass by. There is also talk of birds in the trees surrounding the road being unable to sing. Allegedly eight deaths have occurred on the road - and that seven of them remain a mystery. Sarah Gibson, baptised at nearby Monkton Farleigh in 1732 , married a gamekeeper from Warleigh Manor in 1762. When her husband died, so the story goes, she was evicted from his cottage. She is said to have lived in a little hut in the nearby woods through which the turnpike was driven in 1792. Rumours spread about her locally, with some regarding her as a witch. Sally in the wood is a place of paranormal activity on such a scale that it would be hard to match.
