Richmond Haunts long-form
Haunted England, Part 2: Ancient Inns, Castles and Royal Ghosts
Episode notes
About this episode
| England’s long architectural history gives its ghost stories an extraordinary range of settings. Part 2 visits country houses, an ancient inn, an unfinished mansion, castle ruins, a military museum and royal gardens, each with traditions connected to former occupants or visitors.
The journey includes Felbrigg Hall, the Ancient Ram Inn, Queen Anne’s House and Woodchester Mansion. It also follows stories associated with actress Lillie Langtry before reaching Corfe Castle and the Royal Signals Museum. Kew Gardens closes the episode with another layer of royal and public history. The program distinguishes the documented lives and uses of these places from later reports of apparitions and unexplained activity, allowing both the historical record and England’s supernatural folklore to remain in view. |
