Having difficulty reading the inscription, we read the words aloud and just as we finished to take in the horror of this young girls fate, my colleague and I both experienced an 'unearthly' rush and a sold thud upon the ground. We both turned around sharply, both expecting to see someone rushing at us, but there was no one in sight. When I got home, I Googled this tale and found it all so tragic. I truly cannot help but feel that this lady's spirit is still not at rest. I was so shaken up, I had to call the cemetery office and ask if anyone else had experienced something like this? When I next return to Brockley Cemetery, I will make sure that lay some flowers or plant something that flowers in memory of Jane. May she rest in peace.

What a lot of work to get to the bottom of poor Jane's life. That was a very moving story, i have not found any like that. What a lot of work to get to the bottom of poor Jane’s life.
