The Story
Haunted Places recounts sightings attributed to Priscilla Ridgely and Cygnet Swann, along with unexplained harpsichord music from Swann’s room. A former butler called Tom is another reported figure. Other stories describe doors unlatching and a chain-like rattling in the tack room. Alias Hampton House. Historical identities and death traditions need stronger sourcing before expansion.
