“The building had a wonderful ‘feel’ about it - atmospheric in the extreme, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there - especially the ghosthunting adventure.”
“A window
was pointed out to me
as that through which…”
“…the murdered body
of a certain lady
had been hurled into the moat.”
“Queen Elizabeth I held court
at this sixty-roomed mansion
in 1578.”
“I was told that on the reputed anniversary
of the Queen’s visit…”
“…the gruesome disposal
of the victim’s body
was re-enacted.”
“When the anniversary drew near
I managed to arrange for three friends
to spend the night in the ‘haunted room’.”
“Everything was quiet until just before 2 a.m
when the almost total silence was suddenly shattered
by the sound of a window opening violently - slamming back against the wall.”
