Painswick is well know for its many ghostly legends and traditions. According to Westwood and Simpson (Haunted England 2010) "there are Civil War soldiers, grey and white ladies, a ghost searching for its own buried treasure in a cellar, ghostly highwaymen, phantom coaches, black dogs, headless women.
