The Ghost of Jews Bridge

In the serene embrace of South Devon’s Bovey Tracey and Teigngrace, where the River Teen glimmers and Jews Bridge arches over mossy stones near Stover House, the ghost of Isaac Levinsky, a Jewish pedlar murdered in 1695, haunts the night, his tattered figure pacing the span with hollow eyes, a mournful echo of a life stolen by greed on a foggy November eve. From chilling sightings in 1715 to a historian’s vigil in 1953, his spirit, bound to the bridge where his blood spilled, kept Stover’s servants from crossing after dark, their fear weaving a legend of sorrow that lingers in the mist.
