Ghosts of Ordsall Hall

Every self-respecting Tudor manor house of distinction has at least one ghost – and Ordsall Hall is no exception!

Many tales surround the Hall and its ghostly inhabitants but there are several which come up time and time again. Find out more about our resident ghosts and ghost night events hosted at the Hall.

Meet our Ghosts

There is said to be three resident ghosts here at Ordsall Hall…

The White Lady

We don’t know exactly who this enigmatic figure in white is, but most say that she is the spirit of Lady Margaret Radclyffe, who died, broken hearted, in 1599 after the death of her beloved twin brother Alexander.

Cecily

A young girl is said to roam the Hall – especially when there are children and school parties around. It is said that you can tell she is there by the sweet smell of roses in the air.

Sir John Radclyffe

Said to inhabit the Star Chamber – this former Lord of the Manor is said to be very keen on the ladies! Female visitors have reported his rather bold advances on many occasions.

Ghost Nights at Ordsall Hall

Join us for one of our ghost walks to hear spooky tales from the hall with Flecky Bennett which happen across the year. For larger paranormal investigations we work with Blackgate Paranormal who offer a small programme of after hours events.

We only host ghost investigations with the above mentioned organisations and we do not allow Ordsall Hall to be hired for private paranormal groups, events, or filming.
