Highwayman Hope Highwayman Bess Highwayman’s tactics get him caught! By Bellatrix Lestrange. Over the last few days, in the village of Hogsmede, at a small inn on Oak Drive, a local highwayman gave a family an unexpected visit. The Landlords daughter Bess and The Highwayman claimed to be together. They both ended up with a bullet on the way to their chests, the pair have been claimed to be seen as ghostly figures once and only once every full moon. Highwayman Arrives The Highwayman was known to have arrived on a horse he was wearing a long black cloak, a three pointed black hat with a Rapier to his side. The horse hooves clattered on the stone cobbles out on the dark inn yard. A witness was known to have seen The Highwayman tapping on the shutters with a whip and Bess arriving at the door plaiting a dark red love knot in her hair. Tim The Ostler An eye witness claims to have overheard a conversation between The Highwayman and Bess. Tim The Ostler says that he heard him say “I’m after a prize tonight,” and insisted that she should wait for him by moonlight and he gave her a peck on the cheek. Red Coats It is known that a troop of King Georges men – Redcoats – marched into the local bar, The Crown, and drank all the landlords ale. They then rushed upstairs to find Bess. When they found her, they tied her up to the bedpost of her thin bed with a musket beneath her feet and started to mock her, and use her as bait.
