St. Johns House
St. John’s House in Warwick, England, dates back to the 12th century when it was originally established as a hospital by the Earl of Warwick. The building has served various purposes over the centuries, including a private residence, a school, and now a museum. Its long and varied history has given rise to numerous ghost stories and reported paranormal activities.
One of the most frequently reported apparitions is that of a young girl in Victorian-era clothing, often seen wandering the upper floors of the house. Visitors and staff have described hearing her footsteps and witnessing her figure disappear around corners. Another commonly encountered spirit is believed to be a former headmaster from the building’s time as a school. His stern presence has been felt in the old classrooms, with some people reporting the sensation of being watched or hearing a male voice issuing instructions.
The kitchen area of St. John’s House is said to be haunted by the ghost of a maid who died in a fire. Staff members have reported smelling smoke and feeling sudden temperature drops in this area. In the garden, visitors have claimed to see the apparition of a monk, possibly connected to the building’s early history as a hospital run by a religious order.
Unexplained noises are frequently reported throughout the house, including the sound of furniture being moved in empty rooms and doors slamming shut on their own. Some visitors have also experienced feelings of unease or being touched by unseen hands, particularly in the older parts of the building.
