Roy Schofield, Shell Retail Sales Development Representative for Doncaster, and his attractive wife, May, believe in ghosts. They live in Lindley House in the village of Brierley, reputedly haunted by a ghost wearing the uniform of a footman. Neither Roy or May have actually seen the spectre, but May is sure one day she will. 'Quite often', she told me, 'In the night, I have heard footsteps coming down the staircase from the old servants' quarters, and whenever I go upstairs, I feel a presence and I have a distinct feeling that someone stand aside to let me pass. The Schofields have a huge but amiable Great Dane, named Beau. Normally a gentle creature, he occasionally rushes about the house howling in obvious fear. These attacks coincide with May's feeling 'the presence'. Roy and May are not the least bit afraid of their ghost, for they sense that it is essentially a friendly one.
