Hughenden Manor, located in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, was the country house of Benjamin Disraeli, the Victorian-era Prime Minister. Built in the late 18th century, the manor was extensively remodeled by Disraeli after he purchased it in 1848. The estate has a rich history, serving as a secret intelligence base during World War II, codenamed “Hillside.”

Several ghost stories are associated with Hughenden Manor. One of the most prominent is the alleged apparition of Benjamin Disraeli himself. Staff and visitors have reported seeing a figure resembling the former Prime Minister in various parts of the house, particularly in his study and the library.

Another ghostly tale involves the spirit of a young boy, believed to be a former servant who died in a fire at the manor. Witnesses have described hearing childlike laughter and the sound of running footsteps in empty corridors.

The ghost of Mary Anne Disraeli, Benjamin’s wife, is said to haunt the manor as well. Some visitors have reported feeling a gentle touch on their shoulder or sensing a presence in Mary Anne’s bedroom.

A spectral monk has been seen in the gardens, believed to be connected to the manor’s pre-Disraeli history when the land was owned by a monastic order.

Unexplained cold spots, sudden temperature drops, and the feeling of being watched have been reported throughout the property. Some staff members have experienced objects moving on their own and lights turning on and off without explanation.

The cellars beneath the manor are said to be particularly active, with reports of disembodied voices and shadowy figures seen out of the corner of one’s eye.
