Nothing spooky happened during this holiday but on a previous visit, something did happen to my wife.<br /><br />We were not staying in the house on that occasion, but in the holiday complex built by Warner's adjacent to the historic building. We attended a medieval banquet in the Great Hall and were seated in front of a huge, blazing log fire. In spite of this, my wife felt cold, and the lady sitting next to her apologized for moving, and said she felt inexplicably uncomfortable sitting where she was. <br /><br />Several times during the evening, my wife looked over her shoulder in response to someone tapping her on the shoulder, expecting to see the 'court jester', who was hosting the event, mucking about. But, on every occasion, there was no one there.<br />Spooky, you might think, but there was more to come!<br /><br />We returned to our room in the holiday complex and settled down in a bed with a large wooden headboard. At some time during the night, my wife was woken by a loud banging on the headboard. Upon opening her eyes, she saw a red mosaic hallow surrounding the face of a man. My wife was fully awake and is positive she was not dreaming. She closed her eyes, hoping the apparition would disappear, but the knocking started again. This happened several times whenever she closed her eyes. My wife was not afraid, but she was very angry to have had sleep disturbed and eventually, said, "Oh, go away!" Which it did.<br /><br />My wife is normally sceptical about ghost stories and supernatural claims, and is not fooled easily. Neither is she an attention seeker, and she has no mental issues. She is intelligent, sensible and level-headed, but she knows what she saw, and always feels that Littlecote House does not like her for some reason.<br /><br />We stayed in the house because Warner's gave us an up-grade on the room we booked, for reasons that are not relevant to this post. Needless to say, my wife was very apprehensive about sleeping in the house, and we kept a bedside lamp on all night, so that we were not in total darkness.Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03294303025936109088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694643024579592908.post-34381131553825487032015-02-11T08:28:14.830+00:002015-02-11T08:28:14.830+00:00Yes, sir.

I have got this (sorry: spanish text traduced by Google Translator): <br />In 1974, the NC chain decided to produce a series on haunted houses in the UK. They filmed scenes in several of them without grasping an anomaly until they reached the palace. As he reached the crew, things began to unravel inexplicably: the lights melted, the phone ran out of line and more than one camera, no one knew why it crashed to the ground or scattered parts the ladder. When they finally managed to overcome failure after failure and time of positivar what had filmed the first day of work, found the ubiquitous image of a green fog and thick arrived. The next day, fearing a human or technical error, a new camera was used and all the material was checked beforehand. But, specifically, the annoying phenomenon repeated itself and constantly caught again the yellow-green fog.<br />That was when the team learned, by the locals, the existence of "green lady"; neighbors advised him to seek the assistance of a medium to contact her. Given the economic losses and surpassing their disbelief, followed the advice. The medium, after contacting the spirit, recommended them to shoot properly had to ask permission to "green lady" who was very upset by his lack of consideration and reproached them for their bad manners at home. The reactions were mixed team: cynicism, anger over the absurd, rational attitudes sufficiency, teasing, etc. So, ignoring the wishes of the ghost, the next day they filmed what they had planned. The result could be no other: was there again greenish fog that replaced the beautiful shots that were filmed.<br />The television could not afford this waste, so the program director volunteered to officially request the "green lady" permission for filming. The formal request was made in the palace library, in the presence of all equipment and 12 at night. Simultaneously with this request, a camera was mounted on the third floor, traditional area of appearance of the lady in green. This camera was prepared for one will meet at regular intervals throughout the night. The next morning, everyone could watch the result. With great surprise they found as a bubble of light, leaving a door, disappeared for another, after stopping at the target. The timer on the camera marked the one in the morning, one hour after formal request in the library. From that time did not have any problems again.Gabriel Wuldenmarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892949982538531572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694643024579592908.post-37507356822530742752015-02-03T19:30:41.382+00:002015-02-03T19:30:41.382+00:00Hi Gabriel.

In 1974, the TV channelĀ NC TV decided to produce a series on haunted houses in the UK. They filmed scenes at Longleat Manor but always appeared in the film a yellow-green mist that marred all films and always had technical problems. Finally the problems ended when the director and the team asked the green lady that would allow them to film in the house.Gabrielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694643024579592908.post-31787748981486416382014-09-11T21:19:36.212+01:002014-09-11T21:19:36.212+01:00Thank you 'anonymous, ' I was not aware of...Thank you 'anonymous, ' I was not aware of that haunting.Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03294303025936109088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694643024579592908.post-3988807585439220642014-09-10T23:36:27.372+01:002014-09-10T23:36:27.372+01:00There is also the ghost of lady Alice in the Saloo...There is also the ghost of lady Alice in the Saloon which has been seen by many guides and visitors. She was the sister of the 4th marquess who redecorated the House at the end of the 19th century. She died in 1847 of Polio at 11 and comes back to play in her favourite room. From what I hear she was last seen December 2013 by a little boy who saw her appear from feet to head sitting on a chair. He then ran to tell his story to a guide. He was quite shaken. A lot of paranormal activities happen at Longleat but we do not know who they are. Most of the staff can tell you some incredible stories though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694643024579592908.post-80461510694414611192014-09-08T17:46:38.087+01:002014-09-08T17:46:38.087+01:00Thanks for your comment 'anonymous.'
