Death Coach Folklore

The death coach is said to arrive on the anniversary of anne boleyn's execution. The legend has a similar flavor to that of the banshee, in that it's limited to old families of wealth and power. But where the banshe announces the arrival of death by wailing loudly, the death coach does it in a different way. It's said that if the phantom coach is heard approaching, one can avoid death from stopping at your property by throwing the gates wide open.
