This Jacobean style house stands near Wilmslow in
Cheshire and has been home to the Bromley-Davenport family since the
eleventh century. It is haunted by a number of ghostly figures, including
that of a 'Gray Lady'. She has been seen by many witnesses, particularly in
the west wing.
Perhaps more frightening than the phantom female in gray
is the appearance of a group of ghostly shapes walking down the stairs into
the chapel vault. No explanation has been found for either of these
manifestations.
The sinister spirit of a disembodied arm appeared to a
young member of the family while he was sleeping in his bed. He was
disturbed from his sleep by the sound of someone knocking on his window and
as he looked up, all he could see was an arm trying to open it. As soon as
the boy reached the window, the arm disappeared without a trace.
