Wymering Manor
Wymering Manor in Portsmouth, England, is one of the oldest structures in the city, with parts dating back to the 16th century. The manor house has a rich history, having served as a private residence, a monastery, and a youth hostel over the centuries. Its Tudor and Georgian architectural elements reflect its long-standing presence in the area.
The manor has gained notoriety for its numerous reported paranormal occurrences. One of the most frequently encountered spirits is said to be that of a nun, often seen gliding through the halls and disappearing through walls. Visitors have reported hearing the rustling of her habit as she moves about the building.
Another prominent ghost story involves the apparition of Sir Roderick of Portchester, a former owner of the manor. He is said to appear in Tudor-era clothing, often seen in the dining room or on the main staircase. Witnesses have described feeling a sudden chill and an overwhelming sense of unease in his presence.
The Blue Room is particularly notorious for paranormal activity. Guests have reported seeing the figure of a young girl in a blue dress, believed to be the spirit of a child who died in the room centuries ago. Some have heard her crying or calling out in the night.
Other reported phenomena include unexplained footsteps, doors opening and closing on their own, and objects moving without explanation. The kitchen area is said to be a hotspot for activity, with staff and visitors reporting the sounds of pots and pans clanging when no one is present.
In the attic, people have described seeing the apparition of an elderly lady sitting in a rocking chair, believed to be a former housekeeper who continues to watch over the property. The grounds of the manor are also said to be haunted, with reports of shadowy figures moving among the trees at night.
