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.
