A Ghost Story for Christmas A Warning to the Curious

About the movie

An amateur archaeologist, Mr Paxton (Peter Vaughan), travels to the coastal Norfolk town of Seaburgh. His research has uncovered an old Anglo-Saxon legend telling of three fabled crowns that protect England from invasion. One is said to have been lost in a war, a second lost to the sea - but the third is thought to be hidden somewhere near Seaburgh. Paxton checks into a local inn, where, despite the suspicions of the locals, he hears that another archaeologist searching for the crown was found dead more than a decade ago. His inquiries lead him to the grave of a local man, William Ager, who was said to be the last of his line and a guardian of the crown. Paxton goes to search the woods near Ager's former home, but his excavation will unearth something more than just the fabled crown.—Mark_a_Wood
