Haunted Castles & Stately Homes

Lacock Abbey Wiltshire
Reputed to be the haunt of a female spirit, she is possibly one of the Augustine nuns by which the abbey was founded in 1229, lasting until the Dissolution in 1539. For any Harry Potter enthusiasts this is well worth a visit.

Lamb House East Sussex
This 18th century house was once the home of Henry James, and another author, E. F. Benson. Reputed to be haunted by an old lady, there is more on the history at Tour uk.

Lanhydrock House Cornwall
The history and its ghosts can be found here at Haunted Britain with an article by Richard Jones.

Layer Marney Tower Essex
The former owner of this open fort, Lord Marney, died in 1523 before he could finish the building, and now his ghost is said to reside here.

It is reputed to be the haunt of a dog, its appearance being a bad omen to whoever lives at the Castle.

Leith Hall Scotland
The history and stories of the ghosts of Leith Hall can be found at the About Aberdeen website.

There was said to be a curse on the owners of this hall which appears to have been carried out with clarity until it was broken. It is the haunt of a former pet dog and a Grey Lady.

Lindisfarne Castle Northumberland
A large white dog is said to prowl the ruins. Crossing to the Holy Island to visit Lindisfarne Castle can be quite precarious with access by foot or car. Check out the Crossing Tide Table before venturing.

Littlecote House Wiltshire
Now a hotel offering a whole range of activities, it is a place with a lurid history for those who have heard of Wild Darrell.

Little Moreton Hall Cheshire
Now run by the National Trust, this 15th century house was extended during the 16th to Elizabethan standards. The Grey Lady who haunts here is said to disappear by sinking through the floorboards where she has often been seen in the Long Gallery. For more history on the house there is the Heritage Trail which is just one of many pages on the site.
