Capesthorne Hall
Capesthorne Hall, located in Siddington, Cheshire, is a grand country house dating back to the early 18th century. The estate has been in the Bromley-Davenport family since 1726 when it was built by John Ward. The hall’s architecture features a blend of Jacobean and Salvin Gothic styles, with later additions and renovations throughout its history.
The property has a rich history of reported paranormal activity. One of the most frequently encountered spirits is said to be that of a young woman in a blue gown, often seen wandering the halls and staircases. Staff and visitors have reported hearing her footsteps and seeing her apparition, particularly in the chapel area.
Another notable ghost is believed to be that of a former butler, still dutifully carrying out his tasks in the afterlife. Witnesses have described seeing a male figure in period clothing moving through the servants’ quarters and kitchen areas.
The library is said to be haunted by the spirit of a previous owner, with books reportedly moving on their own and the sound of pages turning when no one is present. Cold spots and unexplained drafts are commonly experienced in this room.
In the grounds, the ghost of a World War I soldier has been reported near the lake. Some visitors claim to have seen his reflection in the water or heard military marching sounds in the vicinity.
The cellars are also a hotspot for paranormal activity, with reports of disembodied voices, unexplained noises, and a general feeling of unease experienced by those who venture into the underground areas.
