| Houghton House - A magnificent ruin |
I`ve been to the site twice now. Once on a dusk visit, and the other at night.
The day visit was the more interesting of the two, and considerable EVP was picked up on our cams, but the night visit was predictably problematic.
It appears that the ruins are very popular with kids, and in turn with the local police.
However, here are both experiences for you to see.
Houghton House was wrecked deliberately by it`s owner in 1794, and despite it obvious high quality, it was never restored and allowed to be come a complete shell which was later taken over by the government and is now controlled by English Heritage.

Local ghost stories report that from the ruins come reports of shadowy figures that quickly vanish if seen. The sound of several galloping horses pulling a coach have also been heard on the site. Whilst I never heard horses, I did see and report on camera the presence of shadow forms.
But a proper night investigation at this site would sadly be out of the question as during my night visit both kids and police put in an appearance which forced us to abandon our vigil of this very active site.
I used to go here when I was younger (I was about 6) we used to play hide and seek with the children there bearing in mind that the only children there would have been me and my brother
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing an older girl with dark hair and I would always get the fear of being left there (could this be the child calling for its mother?) I also saw a woman also with dark hair dressed in a white night gown sort of thing I remember seeing her but wasn’t scared or worried it was just me looking at her almost as if I was in a trance
It’s rather strange people experiencing things i did
