The Guild Hall in Leicester is a timber-framed building used throughout the years as a meeting hall, courtroom, parlour, library, museum and now a performance venue. It was originally built around 1390 as a meeting place for the Guild of Corpus Christi. Between 1876 and the early 1900s, the hall was used as a local police headquarters, which saw many unsavoury characters go through its doors. Paranormal activity includes a White Lady who apparently moves furniture around the Library. Some however believe it to be the figure of a monk dressed in grey, as there used to be the Old Grey Friars Monastery located only 300 yards from Guildhall, while monks were reported to have lived at the Guildhall for a time. A Cavalier has also apparently been seen in the Great Hall, while there are reports of a phantom dog and a black cat being seen in the Courtyard and in the Great Hall respectively. The apparition of a police officer has also been spotted. Rumour has it that when staff close the bible that sits on the main table of the library, the next morning it is found opened on the same page every time. Some also claim that they've seen legs grow from the portrait of Henry Earl of Huntington, which hangs in the Major's Parlour.
