LORD CREWE ARMS

The female phantom who was, at one time, visible rather infrequently in his former manor house, seems now to haunt only by producing ` a feeling of her presence`. She is thought to be Dorothy Forster but there were two such ladies associated with the building. Guests wishing to see the haunted area have to pass through a huge doorway at the top of a stone stairway. This door was the original inn sign. The British Travel Association published a report in 1968 of the experienced of a young Canadian girl who stayed in the haunted bedroom, who, like some before and several since, have felt an inexplicable `thumb` on the bottom of the bed.

Seen at least twice in the last 20 years in this splendid baroque house is the ghost of a slender woman in a grey dress. Observed standing at one of the windows in the West Wing, she is thought to be a woman who is waiting the return of her lover but little else is known about her. Top

WASHINGTON OLD HALL
Washington
Tyne and Wear
A few of the many visitors to this seventeenth century building associated with America and the Ashington family, have enquired about the 'lady in a long grey dress'which has been seen gently wandering along a corridor on the upper floor. Some of the witnesses claim that there is a likeness to one of the family portraits hung in the hall, but this may be wishful thinking. .Top
