Ghost Story- Brede Place

Brede Place,
This is a very old manor house, (complete with dungeons) which was used for smuggling in the 1700s. It’s believed that smugglers started a ghost story about Sir Goddard Oxenbridge, a former owner.
According to the story Goddard was an evil giant that ate babies. He was captured and cut into pieces, and now his body parts haunt the house!
There are several other ghosts, Marthe, a maid servant and a priest named Father John, but nothing as interesting a giant’s severed limbs and organs.

This is such a great haunting, even if it was a rumor started by criminals. If you’re feeling like you want to pull away from the more fantastic elements, this haunting can be just some smugglers, or you really could have a gigantic hand chase players down a hallway on its fingertips! Or open a closet and a massive glowing liver falls out and disappears. This could also work well out in the open, a giant farmhand was killed unjustly and now his hacked limbs haunt the hills.
Traditionally, players may need to assemble the lost parts (perhaps mummified in private collections and museums as interesting medical specimens), or the limbs are searching for each other and seeking revenge on their killer's ancestors.
