	story	Roger, the son of Sir Charles de Leyburne at Cunswick Hall, was betrothed to Helen, daughter of Sir Allan Bellingham of Burneside Hall. Roger murdered his father, claiming he was lost in a flood, in order to inherit and marry. Reginald Duckett of Grayrigg Hall and Sir Allan, walking by the river, found Sir Charles's body, with a stab wound. Roger confessed, and killed himself. At this Sir Allan remembered that Sir Charles had foretold that one Leyburne would rest uneasy, would whiten the rocks of Cunswick Scar, and would haunt the hall.
