Anne Walker, once a convict, became the wife of respected pub owner John Walker. But respectability never tamed her spirit. Anne was infamous for vanishing nights at a time, taking lovers, and stirring resentment among neighbours and rival women.

One stormy evening, she disappeared for good. Weeks later, a body part was found in the pub’s garden well. John identified her only by her shoes, but with the corpse half-decayed, doubts remained. Was it really Anne’s Shoes?

Rumours swirled:

· Was it Owen Welsh, her lover, who killed her in passion?
· Was it John Walker, driven by humiliation?
· Or another figure from the shadows, consumed by jealousy?

The case was never solved. Yet locals whispered of Anne’s ghost, The Woman in Black, roaming The Rocks, unable to rest.
