As its Halloween today, we thought we would get into the “spirit”
of things and share with you some of the spooky stories from Maunsel House. Most
of the stories date back hundreds of years, this one in particular dates back
to the Second World War.
The second story is more a ghostly giggle than spooky story; we’ll let Sir Benjamin tell this one!
During the war, US soldiers were stationed at MaunselHouse whilst on daring missions alongside the British forces. Over time, many
of the soldiers reported sightings of a Military officer in a Red Blazer wandering
through The Great Hall at night, only to disappear on closer inspection.
Although accounts are patchy, the story goes that he was
a high ranking officer who fought during a previous conflict and appeared again
during WWII, don’t worry though, we haven’t spotted him ourselves!

Have you stayed with us at Maunsel House? Do you have any
spooky stories of your own?
We would love to hear them!
