White Lady of Over Court
By Spooky | June 13, 2007
The problem with most ghost stories is that the spirits usually appear to just one person at a time. So it is always refreshing to hear about something that was seen by many people at once.
This is what happened when a group of carol singers went to the Elizabethan manor called Over Court in 1937. Over Court is now demolished, but was situated in Almondsbury, north of Bristol.
On their way back through the entrance arch the group of carol singers saw a bright white figure floating above the ground and radiating a bluish glow. It was in full view for about half a minute and so the group could make out its tall pointed head-dress before the figure moved away in a zig-zag manner before disappearing.
Who was this mystery figure? Well, it was supposedly the wife of an owner of Over Court who had had an affair with a local man. Upon finding out about her infidelity the husband shot her, but she was able to scramble away from the house and eventually drowned in the fish pond.
