This photograph was taken on September 19, 1936 by Captain Hubert C. Provand, while he visited the Hall with Country Life magazine.
The photo gave Raychem Hall the title of "most famous hauntings in all of Great Britain", and has had countless eye-witnesses to ensure they've held the record for well over 100 years.
The Brown Lady, as she is called, was acquired from the fabric of the brocade style dress she's always wearing when seen. It is believed she is the ghost of Lady Dorothy Walpole, sister to Robert Walpole, the first Prime Minister of Great Britain.
Lady Dorothy was married to Charles Townshend, an horrible man known for his cruel temper. Townshend was a very paranoid man, and eventually accused his poor wife of adultery. Before Lady Dorothy could defend herself, she was locked away in her room inside Raychem Hall, not even allowed to speak to or see her own children. In 1725 a funeral was held for the Lady, though many believe she continued to be held against her will inside the dark rooms of Raychem Hall until her true death years later.
Sounds like she is turning to the demonic realm, or else, a demon is impersonating her.
Has anyone visited this castle? Sounds like an awesome place to do a ghost hunt!
