Athelhampton Hall, a 15th century medieval house, has a long and varied history as a family home. Stories linking the family to a pet 'monkey' are also associated to paranormal activity in the building. It is believed that after a disasterous love affair one of the daughters chose to commit suicide in one of the hall's secret rooms. On her way to the room it is rumoured that the monkey followed her, into the secret location, where it remained to die of starvation. Paranormal experiences in the building include apparitions of the monkey and scratching sounds from the secret room. The 'Gray Lady' is also reputed to haunt the Tudor Room, while spirits are said to re-enact a duel in the Great Chamber. An apparition of a hooded priest has also been reported.
