Raynham Hall
By Spooky | December 21, 2007
The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall, Norfolk, is one of the most famous hauntings in Britain because of the strange shape captured by photographers from ‘Country Life’ magazine in 1936. The image is said to be that of the Brown Lady, a spirit that has been known to haunt the house.
Lucia C Stone was the first to recorded a reference to the ghost at Christmas 1835. The ghost was described as “an aristocratic looking lady with one horrific feature, where her eyes should have been were only empty sockets, highlighted in a face that glowed with an unearthly light.”
On the 19th September 1936 two professional photographers, Captain Provand and his assistant Indre Shira, were taking photographs of the hall for ‘Country Life’ magazine. The photographers were photographing the Hall’s main staircase when Shira saw a misty form ascending the stairs. He shouted to the captain that there was something on the stairs, and asked if the Captain was ready, he replied “yes” and took the cap off the lens, while Shira pressed the trigger for the flash light.
The spirit has not been reported at the hall since the photograph was taken, which leads many to believe that this story has been a hoax.
