One British woman is being haunted by letters from beyond the grave.
Josie Stewart moved into her Victorian home in Brighton, East Sussex, in November 2022, unaware of the haunted history of her current lodgings.
Stewart, 32, said that shortly after moving into her new digs, she and her housemates began to receive “Ghost Post.”
Stewart said they were shocked to discover someone had mailed her old newspaper clippings related to the brutal 1920 murder of 17-year-old Irene Violet Munro in Eastbourne, who had previously lived in the house over 100 years ago.
Munro’s tragic murder, alongside the murder of 38-year-old Emily Kaye in 1924, became known as the ”Crumble’s Murders.”

Munro’s body was found buried beneath shingles on Eastbourne Beach in August of 1920, shortly after she arrived alone for a vacation there.
Locals Jack Field, 19, and 29-year-old William Grey were found guilty of her murder after trial and were sentenced to hanging.
At the time she moved in, Stewart was unaware that the teenager had lived at the Brighton home during her short life.
“We got a big bit of paper with articles from the time, about the murder. “Me and my housemate were so confused.
We tried to work out if we had signed up for something. “We weren’t sure where it came from. We just thought it was a one-off,” Stewart said.
A thank you card addressed from the mother of the murdered youngster arrived the following November, which was Munro’s birthday month.
The card asked recipients to “please remember her” in reference to Munro, who would’ve been 121 on November 23, 2023.

Stewart recalled that this mail seemed more personal than the previous package, prompting her and her roommate to investigate.
“My housemate found Irene’s birth certificate, with our address on it,” she said.
“The card was like, ‘Please remember her’. The back of the envelope said it was from her mother, Flora Munro,” she said.
“We joked that it was the ‘Ghost Post’. It was just really weird,” she added.
The thank-you card read: “[Thank you] for remembering Irene Violet Munro.
“Born here on 23rd November 1902. Died (murdered) Eastbourne August 19, 1920. “She would be 121 on 23rd November 2023. Please remember her.”
The mail from the mystery sender has persisted, according to Stewart. In August 2024, Stewart said she received another tiny piece of paper that “fit in the palm of your hand.”

“It talked about the ‘girl in the green coat’ who was ‘savagely murdered’,” she continued. “When we got that one, we were like, ‘This seems a bit creepy now’.”
Stewart said she took her findings to the Brighton History group on Facebook, in an attempt to find out who had been sending the letters.
“A guy wrote a book about the murders the year before I moved in,” she said.
Stewart added that she received advice to contact a medium, but she didn’t want to stir up any spirits.

“I don’t want to summon anything,” she said. “We’ve got a basement floor… It’s an old Victorian house.”
“Sometimes, if I go to the bathroom at night, I look down the stairs and think, ‘What if she’s down there?,” she continued.
Despite the possible paranormal origins of the letters, Stewart said she doesn’t mind knowing that Munro once lived in her home.
“I like having a bit of history about the house,” she admitted.
“We do have a framed photo of Irene in the house, just so that, if she is about, she can see that she’s remembered and is nice to us.”
“Her story is really sad. She was only 17, and there’s still a lot of mystery about why she went to Eastbourne – she was meant to go to Scotland with her mother,” she said.
Stewart said she’ll see if any “Ghost Post” arrives in November.
