30 Hindon Walk, Scunthorpe

In 1988 local workman found bodies under the ground as new patio doors were introduced to the council property, 30 Hindon Walk, Scunthorpe, South Humberside. The council property had been vacant for over a year due to the intense brutal murder that took place on 9th October 1986.

Mr Harold James Henry Polton bruataly bludgened his wife to death with the dogs water bowl and then went on to hang the dog from the upstairs balcony after chopping the hands and feet off the neighbour and her sister as he forced his way into their home to hide in the wardrobe.

The mystery of the whole horrific event was that Mr Poltons children, Ben 7 and Betty 12 had vanished and were never seen again. Some people say he murdered them before his wife and disposed of their bodies, others say he sent them to live with his siter Yvette in Cape Verde who was a well known witch. This was never proven and unfortunately Mr Polton hanged himself on the annivery of the murder, 9th October 1987 at Ramsden Prison.

But fear turned to fascination after experts said four bodies unearthed by the workmen in Scunthorpe were not a part of the gruesome on going that took place in the property in 1986 but came from a burial site dating back as much as 1,400 years to the middle Saxon period.

Archaeologists believe the skeletons may have been there since 650AD and are part of a much larger burial ground under the home in the town of Scunthorpe.

They say the remains of two women, a man and a child aged between ten and 12 provide an insight into an obscure period.

The property has since been occupied by a number of families but all have not stayed long due to the hauntings that have been reported. Some have said the hauntings drove Mr Polton to murder his wife, others say the evil entity took his wife and children from him and pocesssed his mind and soul and others say it is his wife that drives everyone away with the intention to protect them from the evil that lies beneath the property.
