The first known reference to the Manor of Bolling was in the Domesday Book in 1086, however the building as it exists today was completed in 1370 and extended in the 1400's. The Manor orignially consisted of wooden framed buildings and by 1086 was owned by Ilbert De Laci, a gift from the King for his help at the Battle of Hastings. In 1316 William Bolling is described as Lord of the Manor, while during the War of the Roses, Robert Bolling supported and fought for the Lancastrians after which he was accused of high treason by Edward 4th. His life was saved by pardon of the King but his land and manor were taken from him. In 1475 his estates were returned, which his son Tristam inherited in 1487 and passed on to his only surviving child, Rosamund, who married Richard Tempest in 1497. Tempest, who inherited and extended the house, was knighted in 1513 and was elected to Parliament in 1529, however he died in jail in 1537 awaiting trial for involvement in the Rebellion of Northern Gentry. During the Civil War Bolling Hall was the Royalist Headquarters for the siege of Bradford in 1643, and after the Tempest's sufferred financial difficulties the Manor was sold to Henry Savile, after which it passed through many hands until th 1870's when it was divided into family tenements. In 1915 the hall was opened as a period house and museum of local history. Apparitions sighted at the hall have included a distressed woman and baby in the Robert Bolling Room, a man with long coats tails in the Blue Room, and a female ghost dressed in a pale silk dress seen many times by staff and visitors. At the bottom of the Georgian stairwell a woman in a pink dress has been seen, while the stairs and main hall have seen apparent activity including rotting odours, rattling sounds and ragging noises.

The investigation began with the initial walk around with Derek, who generally felt that the energies present in the building were in no way malevolent. David Wells connected with 2 women on the Georgian Staircase, one more forceful than the other. Arriving at the top of the stairs he linked in with this Pink Lady, believed to be Lady Caroline Wood, suggesting this spirit to be the woman seen in the large painting on the staircase wall. Moving along to the 1st floor bedroom David linked with the presence of a ‘wolf like' man, dripping at the mouth like a dog. He felt this man was a miser who had been murdered for secret hoard hidden in a compartment within the 4 poster bed. Richard confirmed the story of Dickie of Tunstead, whose bed had been moved to the Hall 30 years previous. The vigils during the night centred mainly on Karl and Stuart in the Cellar, and Yvette and Richard's investigation of the first floor hallway and rooms at the top of the Georgian staircase. Both Karl and Stuart experienced a number of strange noises within the claustrophobic cellar, with each noise appearing to come from one part of the room, which they would explore, only for the next noise to come from the other part of the room behind them. Meanwhile Yvette and Richard explored the first floor, experiencing a number creaks and knocking noises coming from one particular room. While Richard investigated, Yvette remained alone across the hallway, showing clear signs of rising apprehension. As the vigil drew to a close the pair experienced a loud noise close to them, which sent them into a short but frenzied panic. Most of the noises they experienced could easily be explained by the nature of the materials in the house, as most of the floors were wooden and constantly creaked when being walked upon.
