Is Preston Manor the most haunted house in Brighton? LIVINGtv's 'Most Haunted' team seemed to think so. Fans of the series will be intrigued by the episode filmed at Preston Manor, where the TV crew experienced one of their most active nights of paranormal activity. |
Yvette Fielding, the show's host, said, 'We were thrilled by our experiences at
Preston Manor. The house has a fascinating history and our investigations
were more than fully rewarded. Karl is convinced he was confronted by the
Manor's White Lady!' If you'd like to see the frightening fun, the episode is scheduled to be broadcast on LIVINGtv on Tuesday 1 August 2006 at 9pm. Check TV schedules nearer to transmission time for details. |

Tales of ghostly sightings and supernatural experiences at Preston Manor go
back through history, including Sister Agnes, the medieval nun who helped
travellers on their way; a body buried under the patio; a disembodied hand
floating by the four-poster bed; the White Lady and the elegant Lady in
Grey who descends the grand staircase with nowhere to go. One friendly
ghost was even seen trying out a child's toy tractor during the 1960s. |
The reports continue with modern day sightings of non-existent visitors,
doors locking themselves and lights turning off for no reason, and the
ghostly hand holding onto a doorknob.
