Introduction

In that regard, the haunted houses all have interesting backstories.

Some have witnessed horrific disasters, while others have been proud witnesses to beautiful events.

Perhaps it is the residents' heightened emotions during these times of joy or sadness that have been left behind, and it is our subconscious sensing of these feelings that we pick up on when we visit them?

Whatever the reason for these haunted houses, visiting them can be an unforgettable experience.

I've never been a fan of those houses where you arrive on a timed ticket and are then led around by a guide in a group.

According to local legend, the ghost of King Henry VIII's unhappy wife haunts Blickling Hall in Norfolk.

She is said to emerge on the anniversary of her execution each year.

One of history's most famous phantoms lives in this majestic Norfolk mansion: Anne Boleyn.

Blickling Hall is constructed on the site of an older mediaeval mansion considered to be her birthplace.

Henry VIII famously beheaded Anne Boleyn after he got unsatisfied with her failure to bear him a son and heir.

Blinkling, Norfolk

The Boleyn family lived on this sprawling Norfolk manor, haunted by a prominent paternal relative.

Blickling Hall, part of the notorious Blickling Estate, had ruled over the surrounding lands since the 15th century when it was built by Sir John Fastolf of Caister, who amassed wealth during the Hundred Years
