Queen Anne style house built in 1709 in the middle of two acres of walled gardens. In 1998 it hit the headlines after an alleged ghost was photographed by the security cameras. The ISPR examined the footage and decided the image was environmental in nature rather than paranormal. They also noted the apparition would have had to be over 10ft tall. Terrifying.

The house was built by the de Marnham family in the late 1200s. Out of the original complex only the Great Hall survives. Over the years along with the different owners, modernisation and extentions were carried out, in 1790 it was described as a pile of irregular half timbered buildings, black and white, with many numerous out houses and lofty walls.

West Bromwich Coporation saved the building from being demolished in 1950 which by then was hidden by plastering and cladding, and carried out extensive renovations. In 1961 it was opened as a restaurant by Ansells Brewery Ltd. It is still a restaurant and also a bar.

There a re thought to be a few ghost that are still wandering around including a man by the stairs, a young adult and a small child, also strange lights have been seen, unusual noises, people have reported that they have been touch and objects have been moved.

Considered as one of the 10 most haunted places in England. Parts of this manor date back 500 years, when it was occupied early in its history by the Martyn family from 1350 to around 1600. The Martyn family were devoutly catholic and may have hidden priests within the house during the time England was under protestant rule. Priest holes, which are small secret recesses within walls, have been found which attest to this. They are most commonly found in old catholic Tudor mansions.

A Grey Lady, a black monk and a headless man haunt the house. There is also a story about a ghostly ape, which was walled up within one of the priest holes. The ape is supposed to have been a pet for the Martyn Family during the fifteen hundreds. On a lighter note the mansion formed the backdrop for the 1972 film Sleuth, which starred Michael Caine

Built in 1535 by Ralph Sadleir – Secretary of State to Henry VIII. The house is the oldest surviving domestic building in Hackney, and would be for East London, but for Bromley Hall, a much modified, but slightly older house of the Tudor period. It was used as a school and later as a fire warden centre and now belongs to the National Trust.

In the basement of the house is a small draughty chapel, which holds the ‘spirits’ of the house. Several ghosts are said to haunt Sutton House. The Lady in Blue was a Tudor who had a very dramatic divorce from her husband and her heartbroken soul still wanders the rooms.

The Lady in White was a Victorian head teacher at the Girls’ School for Etiquette which used to be based at Sutton House. She was said to be a strict, horrible headmistress who beat her students – and her ghost is rumoured to be pretty scary too!

Finally there are the three vicious dogs or wolves – which you can see carved into the nursery fireplace and other places in the house. No one has any idea where or when they came from, but people who have lived in the house, including the current custodian, have heard them howling at night.

The famous Haunted Gallery at Hampton Court Palace is reputedly stalked by the spirit of Catherine Howard, who was executed on 13 February, 1542, by a monarch apparently enraged by her pre-marital affairs. Visitors to the room have described hearing screams and seeing apparitions in the gallery. Concerned by the reports, Hampton Court authorities called in the professionals.

The ghost of King Henry VIII's fifth wife may be little more than a draught of air, say psychologists. A team of ghost-busting psychologists installed thermal cameras and air movement detectors in the gallery. In two particular spots, the temperature of the gallery plummeted by up to 2C. Several people claimed to have seen Elizabethan figures. The ghost of Queen Jane Seymour is said to haunt the staircase in the Palace to this day. Others report seeing the King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.

In October 2003, a closed-circuit security camera at Hampton Court had recorded an "indistinct image of "a mysterious figure in a long coat closing the fire doors." According to one report, "a ghostly-looking figure in period dress suddenly appeared on the screen and closed the doors."



The Theatre Royal in Drury Lane is located in the Covent Garden district of London, England facing Catherine Street. Built back in the 15th century, the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane is possibly the most haunted theatre in all of England. It claims to be the home of “a host of thespian ghosts.” The most famous of which is the “Man in Gray.” He appears in full costume wearing a tri-cornered hat, a powdered wig and a long gray cloak with the hilt of a sword protruding from it. Legend says that the “Man in Gray” is the ghost of a man whose skeletal remains were found in 1848.

A knife had penetrated his long gray cloak and was still embedded in his rib cage. He always appears in the daytime to actors during rehearsals. He is thought to be “a recordings ghost,” as he is always seen in the same place, walking quietly in the same direction. His ghostly visitations are thought to be a good omen. It is said, that the plays performed after his appearance always do well at the box office.

Another ghost is also reported at the theatre. Described as “tall, thin, and ugly,” it is thought to be the ghost of a bad tempered actor named Charles Macklin. In 1735, Charles killed his fellow actor Thomas Hallam in an argument over a wig. "Goddamn you for a blackguard, scrub, rascal!" he shouted as he thrust his cane through Hallam’s left eye into his brain. Macklin appears backstage, wandering the corridor where the murder took place.

The ghost of comedian Joe Grimaldi is a helpful apparition that is often felt rather than seen. “He performed often at Drury Lane and gave his farewell performance there.” He is said to guide nervous actors gently about the stage. In 1948, a young American actress named Betty Jo Jones was performing badly during a run of “Oklahoma.” Then, as she describes it, she felt “invisible hands” guiding her into a different position on the stage. They continued to guide her around the stage during the rest of the performance. Her performance was later described as flawless.

Also seen on stage during the extremely successful run were the ghosts of King Charles II and a crowd of his attendants. Another young actress named Doreen Duke felt the same invisible hands while trying out for a part in "The King and I." She got the part, hands down. She believed that the ghost of Joe Grimaldi was her helpful guide Comedian Stanley Lupino was in his dressing room putting on his makeup. While looking in the mirror, along with his own reflection, he saw another face looking back at him. It was the face of Dan Leno, another comedian who had died recently. Lupino was told that he “was using Leno's favorite dressing room.”

A woman in the audience saw what must have been a ghost, intently watching the play that was being performed. She said, “It was a man wearing old-fashioned clothes sitting at the end of the row where I was sitting. When the lights went up, the man was gone.” Sometime later, when she was looking through a book on the history of the theatre she saw a picture of Charles Kean, an actor from the 19th century. She identified him as the ghost that she had seen earlier.

Lower Well Head Farm, Newchurch, Lancashire

Located in the Pendle Hill area, it is thought that Lower Well Head Farm was built in the 1500's. This location was used as a meeting place for the notorious Pendle Witches and their coven during the early seventeenth Century.

The Pendle Coven was believed to have been responsible for the murder by witchcraft of seventeen people in and around the forest of Pendle. The Device family who were at the centre of the witchcraft charges lived at a place called Malkin Tower, thought to have been somewhere in the fields surrounding these two farms. On Good Friday 1612 an important meeting of the witches, thought to be a 'Sabbat', a major Wiccan festival, took place at Malkin and many of those who attended were later tried and hanged. It is widely considered that the coven collapsed because various witches incriminated each other and their families to the local magistrates. There was a particular feud between members of the Device family and their rivals, the Chattox's. Elizabeth Sothernes, otherwise known as Old Demdike, confessed that the usual method of murder was to make an effigy of the intended victim, known as a 'picture of clay'. It was then crumbled or burned over a period of time causing the victim to fall ill and die.

Tynedale Farm is now owned by the Nutter family, descendents of Alice Nutter, one of the Pendle Witches executed in 1612. Little is known about the history of Lower Well head Farm, but it is believed to have previously been used as a morgue and the pathway adjacent to the farm is referred to as Corpse Way.

An apparition of a monk is frequently seen in the area surrounding Tynedale Farm and a hooded figure has been seen kneeling by the road outside the farm. A servant girl in a cloak has been witnessed flitting across the land between the two farms.

A group of men out shooting reported to have spoken to a strange woman in a cloak and skullcap who later vanished. Footsteps are heard regularly upstairs at Lower Well Head Farm; in particular they are said to echo through the building at 6pm on Saturdays.



The Gladstone Pottery Museum is a living breathing, fully function Victorian pottery factory. The coal fuelled clay ovens still tower above the potters, and pots are fired as they would have during Stafford's heyday of producing the countries finest bone china.

Located in a huge Victorian industrial building the museum has the feel of a labyrinth about it. All the ancient crafts and art of the potters are faithfully recreated by costumed demonstrations.

The Pottery was started at this location in 1780 by the Shelley family. The family pottery produced works for several decades but always struggled financially. During the early part of the nineteenth century the Shelley's were forced to sell.

John Sheridan bought the pottery and under his tenure it thrived. Potters would come from the local area to use the kilns as tenants of the pottery and many of Stafford's most sought after pieces were produced here during this era. It was the influx of craftsmen that expanded the pottery so quickly that gives the site an exploded, industrial and sprawled look.

The Gladstone Pottery Museum has not been the site of any documented massacres, or savage injustices if you believe the history books. But there have been significant numbers of paranormal sightings and manifestations here throughout the buildings history.

Aired 25th July 2006. The Most Haunted Team visit the Royal Exchange Theatre in the city centre of Manchester. The 30 year old Theatre is based in the old Victorian Cotton Exchange building in Manchester.

The main theatre is a seven sided steel and glass module that sits within the hall of the old cotton exchange, making it the world's largest theatre-in-the-round. On 15th June 1996, the IRA detonated a bomb 50 metres from the exchange building, causing damage that took over 2 years to repair and cost £32 million. Ghosts reputed to haunt the building include the actor and founding artistic director James Maxwell, also a Victorian lady. 

Nestling in the heart of the beautiful Northern Lake District, just 15 minutes yet a million miles away from bustling Carlisle, this magnificent hotel provides the finest luxury coupled with discreet yet friendly service from the resident owners and their team.

Dalston Hall's character appearance hides a fascinating history. The area around Dalston Hall was once occupied by the Romans and then the Danes. Later the warrior Scots frequently invaded the area, leading to the construction of fortified structures known as Pele Towers.

It has been reported that a lady called Catherine lurks in room four and 'Lady Jane' has been reported to have had appeared above the Manorial hall, in the galler wearing tudor dress. Also, other reports have been made about a 'handy man' and a young girl.

The atmospheric Old Hall was the original old manor house in the park. Built as a manor house at the turn of the fifteenth century the Old Hall presents a Tour Through Time, travelling through 500 years of occupancy. The Old Hall is set in an enclosure in the parkland between the beautiful mere and the site of an Anglo Saxon village with its landscape history trail.

With incredible paranormal activity this historical site is haunted by many restless ghosts. The most active one is the spirit of a man who was a drunk and wife-beater in life. People frecuently report that often objects are thrown at the them.

Winchester Mystery House is one of the most famous haunted houses in America with enough of a following to-date for daily public tours. The house, now a historical landmark, is located in San Jose California and building started in 1883 and didn't end until Sarah's Winchester's death, 38 years later in 1922. So why so long and to the tune of 5.5 million dollars? Because ghosts told her to do so!

Sarah was the heiress to the Winchester Rifle fortune. She originally lived in New Haven and prior to moving to California lost both her only child Annie and then her husband John. Deeply grieving, she turned to a medium for solace and information.

The medium told her that her husband was present and that there was a curse on the family which took his life and their daughter's because of the many people who died from the Winchester gun. He then told her that the only way to prevent her own death was to move west and build a house for the spirits. But there was a catch to this plan. Ịf she stopped working on the house, the curse would take her life.

So Sarah did exactly that. She left her home in New Haven and headed to California (under ghost guidance) where she bought a large parcel of land and started construction on her Victorian home. While she lived in the ever growing behemoth, she continued her séances to her husband and other spirits. She had a bell tower added and would ring it to summon the spirits at night, and ring it again to dismiss them. It was said that she built a séance room in the middle of the house and would enter it alone to conduct her communications.

The mental stability of Sarah was in question because of the very odd design of the house. Doors were joined to windows, numerous staircases with 13 steps each that often led no where but the ceiling, doors opened to brick walls, double-layered skylights, double-back hallways, doors that dropped off to the landscaping below, upside-down stair posts and so on. Sarah claimed that these oddities were to confuse the bad spirits that had used the Winchester gun to kill. No one ever figured out her fascination with 13; the steps totaling 13, the 13th bathroom having 13 windows, 13 drain holes in the kitchen sink, most windows had 13 panes of glass, there were 13 cupolas in the greenhouse, the walls had 13 panes and the list goes on.

Some of the current haunting evidence include pages turning on their own, organs playing by themselves, banging doors, voices, dancing spots of light, cold spots and actual sightings of "fog like" people.

Resting in Long Beach Harbor, Queen Mary, a colossal ship that was bigger, faster and more powerful than the Titanic, once hosted the world’s rich and famous across the Atlantic and considered by the upper-class to be the only civilized way to travel, she held the record for the fastest-ever North Atlantic crossing.

But, when World War II broke out in 1939, luxury travel immediately ceased and the ship was transformed into a troopship that would become known as “The Grey Ghost.” During this time her capacity was increased from 2,410 to 5,500. She had also survived a collision at sea, set the record for carrying the most people ever on a floating vessel (16,683), and participated in the D-Day invasion. 

Finally, in 1967, she was withdrawn from service after more than 1,000 transatlantic. Internationally recognized, the historic floating hotel and museum attracts thousands of visitors every year.

The Queen Mary is one of the most haunted places in the world with as many as 150 known spirits lurking upon the ship. Over the past 60 years, the Queen Mary has been the site of at least 49 reported deaths, not to mention having gone through the terrors of war, so it comes as no surprise that spectral spirits of her vivid past continue to walk within her rooms and hallways

Two more popular spot for the Queen’s other worldly guests are its first and second class swimming pools. Though neither are utilized today for their original purpose, spirits seemingly are not aware of that. In the first class swimming pool, which has been closed for more than three decades, women have often been seen appearing in 1930’s style swimming suits wandering the decks near the pool. Others have reported the sounds of splashing and spied wet footprints leading from the deck to the changing rooms. Some have also spied the spirit of a young girl, clutching her teddy bear.

In the second class poolroom, the spirit of another little girl named Jackie is often been seen and heard. The unfortunate girl drowned in the pool during the ship’s sailing days and reputedly refused to move on, as her voice, as well as the sounds of laughter has been captured here.

In the Queen’s Salon, which once served as the ship’s first-class lounge, a beautiful young woman in an elegant white evening gown has often been seen dancing alone in the shadows of the corner of the room.

Yet more odd occurrences have been made in a number of first-class staterooms. Here, reports have been made of a tall dark haired man appearing in a 1930’s style suit, as well as water running and lights turning on in the middle of the night, and phones ringing in the early morning hours with no one on the other end of the line.

In the third class children’s playroom, a baby’s cry has often been heard, which is thought to be the infant boy who died shortly after his birth.

Other phenomenon occurring throughout the ship, are the sounds of distinct knocks, doors slamming and high pitched squeals, drastic temperature changes, and the aromas of smells long past. 

This atmospheric old inn stands in the ancient village of Colnbrook and was once an important stopover, on the main stagecoach route that ran from London to Bath. Not wishing to enter the fracas of the endless battle to proclaim itself the oldest pub in England, The Ostrich plays it safe and claims to be the “fourth oldest” and records of the inn certainly date as far back as 1165. One thing it can certainly claim, however, is that it was the first pub in England to ever be featured in a novel, Thomas of Reading, written in the late 16th century by Thomas Deloney.

It was Deloney’s reporting of the nefarious exploits of a former landlord called Jarman that secured the Ostrich’s place in Berkshire legend. His infamous crimes are generally thought to have taken place at some time around the 1300’s. In those days, wealthy travellers would pause at the inn to change from their mud-spattered clothes, into the finery expected for their appearances before the monarch at nearby Windsor Castle. Many of these wayfarers would often carry vast sums of money with them, a fact that didn’t go unnoticed by Jarman who had soon devised a profitable and intricate method of relieving them of both their riches and their lives.

Staff at the inn, where a decidedly old world charm still holds sway, are often troubled by the “sinister atmosphere’s” that seem to hang over certain sections, and several landlords have complained of their night-times repose being rudely disturbed by the eerie sound of creaking boards, ghostly sighs and spectral bumps, that are simply attributed to one of Jarman’s long ago victims.
