Cusworth Hall, located in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, is an 18th-century Georgian country house built between 1740 and 1745 for William Wrightson. The estate dates back to the 12th century and was owned by the Wrightson family until 1961 when it was sold to Doncaster Council.

The hall has a rich history of reported paranormal activity. One of the most frequently encountered spirits is that of a young maid who is said to have fallen to her death from an upper floor. Visitors and staff have reported seeing her apparition in various parts of the building, often accompanied by the sound of rushing wind.

Another notable ghostly presence is that of a former owner, believed to be William Wrightson himself. His spirit has been seen in the library and study, sometimes appearing to be reading or writing at a desk. Staff members have reported feeling an unseen presence watching them in these rooms.

The hall’s cellars are said to be particularly active, with reports of disembodied footsteps, cold spots, and unexplained noises. Some visitors have claimed to hear the rattling of chains, possibly connected to the rumor that the cellars were once used to house prisoners.

In the gardens, the ghost of a lady in white has been spotted wandering near the lake. Local legend suggests she may be the spirit of a woman who drowned there in the 19th century.

The grand staircase is another hotspot for paranormal activity, with visitors reporting the sensation of being pushed or touched by unseen hands while ascending or descending the stairs.
