The Ghosts of Raynham Hall
The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall is one of the better known ghosts that haunt an English Manor house that is the home of the Marquesses of Townshend located near Fakenham, Norfolk. She does nothing spectacular. Her activity is limited to wandering about the home. What is notable about her is that she was photographed and the picture was printed in a magazine. While no one is sure who she is, it is believed that she is the ghost of Lady Dorothy Townshend. She was the daughter of Robert Walpole, Member of Parliament and the sister of Sir Robert Walpole, a British prime minister. Dorothy lived in the 1600s. Another ghost, the Red Cavalier is not as well known. Nandor Fodor, a psychoanalyst and highly respected parapsychologist, investigated Raynham Hall and wrote about his experience.
