...obviously haunted – how strange to see those dusty old rooms decorated and carpeted!
The Terrace in 2005
In 2018 we were back again to make the video for the tour of the house to accompany my blogs. Again, it was lovely to be there and spend two whole days having a good look around the house that held so many memories, good and bad, for me; however, the guests were still hearing noises in the attic and seeing a little girl running around the house. They had also seen the ghost of a man in the Entrance Hall (the same one I had seen many years before) so the house was obviously still haunted! The grounds had had a lot of time spent on them and they w...

The haunted attic corridor
Because of these stories, someone suggested a seance in the attic itself as they fancied a spot of ghost hunting by candlelight, so we dared them to try it! Well, they certainly found them! They all sat around in a circle on the bare wooden floors and joined hands; the candle was placed in the middle of the circle creating an eerie glow and making shadows dance in the corners. The more experienced people did a bit of chanting and then they all waited to see what happened. We carried on partying downstairs turning the music up loud – to be honest, I didn’t really want to know what was going on in the attic, that whole p...

Things That Go Bump In The Night! #3

THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT: Going to sleep in a big old house is quite scary when you’re young but going to sleep in a big old house that’s haunted is even more scary!! That first winter at the Hall was like that. Every time there was a windy night I could hear a window banging in the attic – all night long it kept me awake. The next day I would go upstairs to close it but there would be no windows open or even loose. They were all tightly shut as they had been for 20 years. I remember standing there in the attic rooms, the hairs prickling the back of my neck and quickly legging it back downstairs! On other nights I would hear peopl...
