Boulge: a carriage with headless horses, a dead squire inside, and a woman the villagers called the Queen of Hell.
Boulge Hall, near Woodbridge, was the FitzGerald family home. Lady Gurdon recorded that at the stroke of midnight a coach drawn by two headless horses, driven by a headless coachman who climbs down to open the lodge gates, brings back the ghost of the late Mr FitzGerald. A man from Debach sat up to see it and was badly frightened. A second tale tells of Mrs Short, the Queen of Hell, said to have murdered a gentleman in the hall, leaving a stain on the floor. She rides out of the gate in a carriage with headless horses, and one servant girl said she felt her breath like a wolf
