THE MANOR:
The manor itself is mentioned in the Domesday book and is set in a secluded valley giving the impression that you could almost be there at that point in time! Set in a fabulous four acres of grounds which we will have the opportunity to fully explore and it features eight rooms furnished with period furniture from Elizabethan to Victorian Times. We have the detached Lady Jane Tea Rooms and toilets for our use all night as base facilities, so you can be assured of comfort throughout the event.
Having fallen from grandeur to being used as a farmhouse for many years, the manor passed to the National Trust in the 1970’s. The paranormal has been well documented over recent years, with several other investigations being held here and it’s recent attention in the media having just featured in Most Haunted’s latest series. Surely such attention cannot be unfounded…………..dare you join us on our first investigation of the many ghosts reported here………this Halloween?

THE GHOSTS:
Paranormal activity is said to be widespread at Chambercombe Manor, some of the main claims reported over many years include:
· The ghost of an old lady has been seen by a window, and others are reported who just walk past you………
· The ghosts of children have both been sensed and seen throughout the manor.
· A ghostly crib reported to have rocked of its own accord many times.
· A particular set of stairs is known for having inexplicable feelings about it, someone has even been pushed down them by an invisible force.
· The spirit of a man, thought to be a previous owner who is unhappy with the upsurge in the manor’s visitors, is said to walk up and down in a particular room.
· People have previously reported receiving electric shocks and experiencing poltergeist activity from a certain room.
· Phantom smells frequently manifest, but we don’t want to suggest to you what they are……better that if you smell something on the night tell us and then we’ll tell you.
· Many other spirits (including animals) have been heard, sensed or witnessed throughout the manor and grounds…….too many to list and we don’t want to give too much away! The following quote from the manor’s website allows you some details of what to expect……
Legend has it, as is expected from a house of such antiquity, that Chambercombe Manor is said to be haunted. The Haunted Room adjoins that used by Lady Jane Grey. It is said that the tenant in 1865 was making some repairs to the roof when he discovered the outline of a window for which he could not find a room corresponding. Investigation led to the finding of a chamber between Lady Jane Grey’s room and the one adjoining, in which on the remains of a handsome bedstead lay the skeleton of a woman. She was supposed to be a titled lady visiting relatives at Chambercombe who was shipwrecked in a storm on the rocks at Hele. She was found and brought to the Manor and placed into the room where she later died. The jewellery she was wearing was taken by the occupants of the Manor and the room sealed off from the outside world. The room has no entrance to it now, but a section of the partition has been removed and one is able to see into the chamber.
