Hermeston Hall

Image
Hermeston Hall is located a short distance south to the village of Oldcotes which is within Nottinghamshire, England. There isn't much information out there about this property, but the most reliable source I've found states that Hermeston Hall was originally a farmhouse which went by the name of Hermeston Grange. This farmhouse was built during 1640 for the Clifton family and was extended during the year of 1880 to resemble the building which stands today. Sources have said the land itself dates back to Roman times, with evidence of this being a Roman villa located nearby. Other sources have also said that a previous building existed on the site which possibly dates back to 1100AD and went on to have connections with Elizabeth Cavendish, also known as Bess of Hardwick; the Countess of Shrewsbury. Due to this information's absence from a government document, it's unclear how legitimate the details are regarding anything which may have existed here prior to H...

Kalani Ghost Hunter

Kalani Smith has had a relatively short span of involvement when it comes to the paranormal, but with a following of over 3 million on Tiktok, his presence is significant. In the paranormal field, Kalani goes by Kalani Ghost Hunter, or KGH, and has branded himself as 'The Ghost Hunting Cowboy'. Kalani expanded his paranormal content from Tiktok to both Instagram and YouTube and, despite starting his social media presence in the paranormal field, Kalani has since pivoted from the paranormal to instead reviewing British culinary staples. This pivot saw a vast increase in his following, and so he now chooses to focus on content relating to food and travel; particularly specialising in both British and American topics.  History     Kalani Smith, more commonly known as Kalani Ghost Hunter or KGH for short, was born on the 21st of June 1998. I've found contradictory information about where he was born with one source claiming Las Vegas, Nevada and another source cla...

Annesley Hall

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...
