| "Littledean Hall, open to the public, is one of these ancient buildings, and it is reputed to be one of the most haunted houses in England, though this is stoutly denied by its current owner who is at pains to discourage the notion" "Littledean Hall is reputedly England's oldest inhabited house. The house has Saxon and Celtic remains in the cellars dated to before 11th century, and is believed to have originated in 5th or 6th century" |
1.Charles Pyrke had a servant called Black Boy. It is thought that the Black Boy still haunts the house causing poltergeist activity.
2.The blue bedroom has not been slept in for over forty years because of its ghosts.
3.The priest hole behind panelling near the bay window leads to a secret tunnel which in turn joined the Grange at nearbt Flaxley Abbey. The hidden gallery has a ghost monk.
4.Apparently a baby was murdered and the body was hidden behind a secret panel in the rose room.
5.Two officers were put to sword in the dining hall when the house became a Royalist garrison during the civil war
In the journal it says "The owner of littledown hall has no dought that the whole area has been a sacred site for centuries"

put me in the blue bedroom and the ghost WILL leave
I was reading about LittleDean Hall only recently, Lottie, and in a Simon Marsden book! 
I think with all the stuff that's been experienced there, it definitely has to be up in the Premier League of haunted houses. Oops, bringing footie into a topic, again.
The walled-up baby story is creepy, especially, and it does make you wonder, what dreadful secrets are still to be discovered hidden away in Britain's old houses.
