A Forgotten & Mysterious Somerset Murder

In 1773, Elizabeth Conibeer and her daughters, Anne and Sarah, were murdered at their home near Monksilver in Somerset.

The crime shocked the local community, yet despite investigations and suspicions, the killer was never brought to justice.

Over the years, rumours of witchcraft became linked to the story, helping to turn a tragic real-life murder into one of Somerset's most enduring mysteries.

Today, their gravestone can still be seen in Monksilver churchyard — a quiet reminder of a case that remains unsolved more than 250 years later.

Have you heard of the Conibeer murders before?

🌊 THE NIGHT THE SEA AT FALMOUTH CLAIMED THEM 🌊

Visitors to Falmouth often stand watching the still waters of the harbour, their eyes drifting towards the dark silhouette of Trefusis Point. It seems peaceful now… but beneath the crashing tides lies the memory of one of Cornwall’s most horrifying maritime tragedies.

In January 1814, a military transport ship known as The Queen sought shelter there from violent storms sweeping in from the Atlantic. On board were around 350 souls — soldiers returning from the horrors of war in Spain, frightened families, and even French prisoners of war.

But the sea was not finished with them.

As snow and gale-force winds tore through the harbour, the ship’s anchor finally gave way. Helpless against the fury of the storm, The Queen was dragged towards the jagged rocks of Trefusis Point.

Then came the screams.

Massive waves smashed the vessel apart in the darkness, splintering wood, hurling bodies into the freezing black water. Mothers clung desperately to their children. Soldiers fought for their lives against the merciless tide. Some survivors clawed their way ashore bloodied and broken… but nearly 200 people perished that night.

What rescuers discovered at dawn was almost too terrible to comprehend.

Bodies lay scattered across the rocks. Women still holding their children in death. The dying crying out amongst the wreckage. And in a chilling twist of human desperation, some surviving soldiers were reportedly caught looting valuables from the dead.

Even now, locals whisper that Trefusis Point does not rest easy. Some say cries can still be heard on stormy nights… carried on the wind above the crashing waves.

Why not join us on the Falmouth Ghost Walk and uncover the darker side of Cornwall’s history for yourself…

🎉 20,000 Followers 🎉

Today marks a milestone that honestly feels hard to put into words.

When Extours first began four years ago, I never imagined that one day we would reach 20,000 followers. What started as a simple idea has grown into something far bigger than I ever thought possible.

The journey hasn't always been easy. We've faced challenges, setbacks, and plenty of lessons along the way. But every obstacle has helped shape Extours into what it is today, and each lesson has helped us continue moving forward.

To everyone who has joined a walk, attended an event, shared a post, left a review, recommended us to friends, or simply followed our journey — thank you.

Your support has allowed us to grow from a small local venture into a company operating across multiple locations, sharing the forgotten stories, hidden histories, and unexplained side of Britain's past with thousands of people every year.

We're incredibly proud of how far we've come, but we're even more excited about where we're going.

This is just the beginning.

Thank you for being part of the journey.

👣 THE SPIRITS OF THE SHIP AT SHAFTESBURY 👣

Long before it became known as the Ship Inn, this ancient building was once called The Ram and TheHalf Moon, and some believe the ghosts that linger there remember every chapter of its dark past.

Visitors and staff have long reported seeing a mysterious “little old lady” dressed in 18th-century clothing and a flowing cape. She silently walks from the bar into the lounge… before disappearing straight through a solid wall.

But she is not alone.

Staff have told me that most days, objects have been known to fly from the bar shelves without warning. Others speak of a ghostly little girl running through the bar before vanishing into thin air.

Then there is the phantom black dog. Many claim the spectral animal still appears at people’s feet before fading away when! approached.

Yet perhaps the strangest chapter in the building’s history came at the beginning of the last century…

The inn was once used as the surgery of Dr Harris, who lived next door. Local stories suggest operations may even have taken place inside what is now the bar itself.

How much pain…
How much fear…
How many deaths…
still echo within those ancient walls?

Perhaps that would explain why so many believe the building is alive with restless energy.

Have you experienced anything there?

Why not join me on the Shaftesbury Ghost Walk and uncover the town’s darker secrets for yourself…

💀 THE MONK THEY WALLED UP ALIVE… 💀

Beneath the ancient streets of Glastonbury, whispers still linger of a love that was never meant to be…

Legend tells of a monk from Glastonbury Abbey who fell deeply in love with a local woman. Bound by sacred vows he could never break, the two met in secret beneath the town, hidden from prying eyes in the darkness of an underground tunnel linking the Abbey to the George and Pilgrims Inn.

But secrets rarely stay buried forever.

When their forbidden love was discovered, the punishment was said to be horrific. Some believe the monk was walled up alive within the tunnel itself, entombed in darkness, abandoned to a slow and terrifying death while only feet away from the woman he loved.

To this day, guests and staff speak of shadowy figures wandering the ancient corridors. A hooded monk. A grieving Lady in White. Footsteps where nobody walks. And an overwhelming feeling of sorrow that seems trapped within the old stone walls.

Was the tunnel real? Archaeologists did uncover evidence of a hidden passage beneath the inn…

But the question remains…

Do you believe this story is true?

Why not join me on the Glastonbury ghost walk. Head over to www.extours.co.uk for details.
