Charnock Hall
PRESTON, LANCASHIRE
The residence of Charnock Hall is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac near Preston. Once owned by the royal family, the
Hall was founded by Robert Charnock, a Catholic Priest, in the 17th Century. Charnock used the building as the
location for secret masses as during this period Catholocism was seriously frowned upon. Dark shadowy figures
resembling priests have been since in the property, while residents have experienced strange activity including
electrical appliances turing themselves on as well as ghostly footsteps on the stairs. The bathroom door has also
been known to close itself from the outside, trapping unsuspecting visitor inside, while the figure of a small
boy in the upstairs bedroom window has been seen on occasions. The Middle Bedroom is reputedly the most active,
with tales of ghostly monks sitting on the end of the bed in conversation.
