Annesley Hall

Image
Located in Nottinghamshire, England, and North of Hucknall, near to the village of Annesley, Annesley Hall is said to be a 13th century building dating back to the 1200s. However, sources also say that the ownership of the location can be traced back to the Domesday Book of 1086 under the name of 'Aneslie'. The hall was home to the Annesley family before eventually becoming the home of the Chaworth-Musters family who were one of the most powerful families in Nottinghamshire at the time. The grounds around Annesley Hall also included a church and a Motte and Bailey castle which people suspect may have a connection to the legend of Robin Hood. This is because there are suspicions that a member of the De Annesley family may have been the real life Robin Hood with the brother of the Sheriff of Nottingham possibly building the castle to keep an eye on him. The hall also has connections to both Lord Byron and, to a lesser extent, Charles Darwin.  Annesley Hall left Chawor...

In this article, we will be looking at an event which happened live that I've transcribed which occured as an audience member called Miranda was being questioned about an experience she shared for OVERNIGHT's web-series 'Haunted Homies'. OVERNIGHT is a paranormal investigation team based in America, and they upload their investigations to YouTube.

During this time, an item fell off the shelf which was located on the stage as part of the backdrop to the interview. The transcript covers the tea...

Bodelwyddan Castle

Bodelwyddan Castle is a fortified Manor House which is located in the county of Denbighshire, within Wales. The location is also a Victorian Gothic Revival-Style castle which is surrounded by formal gardens along with sixteen acres of woodland. The location currently serves as the grounds for a four-star hotel owned by the Warner Group, but it has a long history spanning back to the 1400s. Originally it was built as a house, and it gained it's castle look during the 1800s; long after it was originally built. After it's use as a house, the castle went on to serve as a hospital during World War One, and then it became a private girls only school. Before it's exclusive use as a hotel, the castle did serve as a museum and art gallery for a time before its funding was cut by the local council.  There are a few hauntings here which seem to have been propelled by word of mouth and Most Haunted's investigation here. There isn't much detailed information on the s...
