Kelham Hall, located in Nottinghamshire, England, is a Victorian manor house with a rich history dating back to 1863. The grand estate was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and served as the ancestral home of the Manners-Sutton family. During World War I, it was used as a hospital for wounded soldiers, and later became a monastery for Anglican monks. In recent years, it has functioned as council offices and an events venue.

The hall’s paranormal reputation stems from various reported ghostly encounters. Staff and visitors have described seeing the apparition of a nurse in a old-fashioned uniform, believed to be from the building’s time as a military hospital. She has been spotted walking through corridors and tending to non-existent patients in empty rooms.

Another frequently reported spirit is that of a monk, seen gliding through the halls and gardens. Witnesses describe hearing the swishing sound of robes and feeling a sudden drop in temperature when the monk’s presence is near. Some have even claimed to smell incense accompanying these encounters.

In the grand staircase area, people have reported seeing the ghost of a young woman in Victorian-era clothing. She is said to appear distraught and has been heard sobbing quietly. Local legend suggests she may have been a jilted bride or a servant who met a tragic end.

The cellars of Kelham Hall are also said to be a hotspot for paranormal activity, with staff reporting inexplicable noises, objects moving on their own, and an overwhelming sense of being watched. Some have even claimed to hear distant chanting echoing through the underground chambers.
