Editing Anne Boleyn (section)

== Legends ==
Many legends and stories about Anne Boleyn have existed over the centuries. One is that she was secretly buried in [[Salle, Norfolk#St Peter and St Paul's Church|Salle Church]] in Norfolk under a black slab near the tombs of her ancestors.<ref>{{harvnb|Lofts|1979|p=181}}.</ref> Her body was said to have rested in an [[Essex]] church on its journey to Norfolk. Another is that her heart, at her request,<ref>{{cite web|title=St Mary, Erwarton|url=http://www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/erwarton.html|access-date=21 June 2023|website=Suffolk Churches}}</ref> was [[Heart-burial|buried]] in [[Erwarton]] (Arwarton) Church, [[Suffolk]] by her uncle Sir Philip Parker.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Anne Boleyn's Heart|journal=Notes and Queries|series=6|volume=4|date=1881|page=326}}</ref>

In 18th-century [[Sicily]], the peasants of the village of [[Nicolosi]] believed that Anne Boleyn, for having made Henry VIII a heretic, was condemned to burn for eternity inside [[Mount Etna]]. This legend was often told for the benefit of foreign travellers.<ref>Pratt, Michael (2005). ''Nelson's Duchy, A Sicilian Anomaly''. UK: Spellmount Limited. p.48 {{ISBN|1-86227-326-X}}</ref>

A number of people have claimed to have seen Anne's [[ghost]] at [[Hever Castle]], [[Blickling Hall]], Salle Church, the Tower of London and [[Marwell Zoo|Marwell Hall]].<ref>{{harvnb|Lofts|1979|p=182}}.</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://theshadowlands.net/ghost/ghost342.html |title=Ghosts and Hauntings |publisher=The Shadowlands |access-date=7 July 2009}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.zurichmansion.org/halls/marwell.html|title=Marwell Hall – Haunted Mansions Around the World|website=www.zurichmansion.org}}</ref> One account of her reputed sighting was given by [[paranormal]] researcher [[Hans Holzer]]. In 1864, Captain (later Major General) J. D. Dundas of the [[King's Royal Rifle Corps|60th Rifles]] regiment was [[billet]]ed in the Tower of London. As he was looking out the window of his quarters, he noticed a guard below in the courtyard, in front of the lodgings where Anne had been imprisoned, behaving strangely. He appeared to challenge something, which to Dundas "looked like a whitish, female figure sliding towards the soldier". The guard charged through the form with his bayonet, then fainted. Only the captain's testimony and corroboration at the [[court-martial]] saved the guard from a lengthy prison sentence for having fainted while on duty.<ref>{{cite book|last=Holzer|first=Hans|author-link=Hans Holzer|title=Ghosts I've Met|isbn=978-0760766316|year=1965|page=196|publisher=Barnes & Noble, Incorporated }}</ref>
