I do not have any photographs of the Hall itself. We're not allowed to take photographs without permission. This photograph is in the locality of the Hall. I took it yesterday. It shows the beautiful setting where the Hall is situated.
Blithfield Hall
is not
haunted
I’ve searched internet sites who report ghostly sightings
that I know are simply rumour and have no
actual foundation, in fact. One such
place is Blithfield Hall in Staffordshire. An Elizabethan manor. It is not open
to the general public. Although groups are sometimes booked in for a small
tour.
I’ve read that there have been at least five ghostly
sightings at Blithfield Hall. From a haunted well, to the sound of rustling
skirts, to a man being seen by a cleaner. There has also been a sighting of a
woman in the garden.
I wrote to Nancy Lady Bagot asking her if Blithfield Hall
is haunted. Who better to ask? She had
lived there from the 1950s at least. She replied that Blithfield Hall is definitely not haunted. She did write that one
of her friends thought she heard something unusual during the night when she was
staying but that it could have been anything.
I have put the letter that she sent to me in the records
of Rugeley library.
One site even says that Blithfield is near Staffordshire!
Blithfield is in the East Staffordshire.
It is also said that
Blithfield reservoir is haunted by the sound of church bells ringing out at
midnight. This rumour spread because the land was flooded many years ago to
create the reservoir. It is rumoured that
a church and houses were beneath the surface of the water. I did some research
and in fact it was one house that was flooded, definitely not a church. It’s
strange how rumours soon begin and spread rapidly, particularly when there is a
ghost story attached to them.
