Haunted Ancestral Homes 11: The Itchell Ghost

10: The “Silky” Spectre of Denton House

This article comes from the March 29, 1892, issue of the Brechin Herald. Note: Frith uses racially insensitive language and negative ethnic stereotyping while introducing his narrative.

Frith refers to the “Ewshott House” chapter in John H. Ingram’s Haunted Houses and Family Traditions of Great Britain. Now known as Eshott Hall, the structure still stands and serves as a luxury hotel. Accommodations are available elsewhere on the grounds, too.

12: The Nun and the Lady of WattonIf you’re intrigued by Victorian ghostlore, consider purchasing The Victorian Ghost Hunter’s Casebook. It features fourteen firsthand chronicles of actual ghost hunts.
