Christ’s College, founded in 1505 by Lady Margaret Beaufort, is one of the oldest colleges in Cambridge University. The college’s history spans over five centuries, with notable alumni including Charles Darwin, John Milton, and William Paley. The college’s architecture reflects its long history, with buildings dating from the 16th to the 20th centuries.

Several ghost stories are associated with Christ’s College. One of the most famous involves the apparition of a young woman in a blue dress, believed to be the spirit of a student who died by suicide in the 19th century. She is said to haunt the college’s First Court, particularly on foggy nights.

Another recurring ghostly figure is that of a monk, supposedly dating back to the time when the site was occupied by God’s House, a religious institution that preceded Christ’s College. The monk is often reported in the Fellow’s Garden and near the college chapel.

The college’s Old Library is said to be haunted by the ghost of Christopher Round, a former student who died in 1648. Witnesses have reported seeing a shadowy figure moving among the bookshelves and hearing unexplained footsteps.

In the Master’s Lodge, staff have reported strange occurrences, including objects moving on their own and doors opening and closing without explanation. Some attribute these phenomena to the spirit of Lady Margaret Beaufort herself.

The college’s Second Court is reportedly haunted by the ghost of a former fellow who committed suicide. Students have reported feeling a sudden chill and sensing an unseen presence in this area.
