Meet the ghosts of Surrey

With its extensive collection of historic houses, it’s no surprise that Surrey has its fair share of resident ghosts.  And there’s nothing better than a day out at a haunted house to get you in the spirit of Halloween.

Here are some of the best haunted houses in Surrey to visit during October half-term.

Halloween at Hampton Court Palace: After Dark

One of the most haunted buildings in Surrey is its royal palace, Hampton Court.

With so many of Henry VIII’s wives meeting their demise in unfortunate circumstances, it’s not surprising that at least three have come back from the afterlife to visit.  Hampton Court Palace is the ideal hot spot for paranormal phenomena and even has its own Haunted Gallery.

This Halloween you can meet some of the spooky spirits from the past with a visit Hampton Court.  The day time event is a family-friendly experience with light projections and creepy sound effects.  You can also join the storyteller to hear spooky talks from Hampton Court Palace’s history.

Spooky stories at Ham House, Surrey

Another of Surrey’s most haunted houses is Ham House, in Richmond-upon-Thames.  It is believed they have up to 16 ghosts here.  Amongst the things that go bump in the dark are the anguished spirit of a woman in black, the presence of a mysterious man of the stairs and a ghostly dog.  And not forgetting, a wheelchair that moves itself in the night.

Take the kids on a tour of this magnificent 17th Century house to see if you can hear the phantoms trapped within the house’s ancient walls!  For those of a sensitive nature, the gardens are beautiful and they have a great café.

Address:  Ham House, Richmond, Surrey, TW10 7RS

Click the National Trust website for admission details.

Betchworth Castle, Brockham

Another ghostly dog roams the ruins of Betchworth Castle near Leatherhead.  The black death dog supposedly prowls the castle ruins at night.

Actually, the dog is not the only revenant at the site in the evenings, as this is when the spirit of Lord Hope walks the grounds.  He is full of remorse after killing his own son in error, believing him to be an escaped convict.

Loseley Park, Guildford

Or you could head over to the outskirts of Guildford for sightings of another tormented soul.  Some believe the historic manor house, Loseley Park, is the haunt of a women in brown who appears in the stairwell.

If she’s not there, stay for a visit the garden and grounds.  You don’t need to book in advance.

Surrey's spookiest places

Of course, the phantoms of Surrey don’t limit themselves to inside appearances.  Here are some of the spookiest outside places you can go for Halloween days out in Surrey.

Silent Pool, Albury

The small lake near Albury is supposedly one of the most haunted lakes in Surrey.  Legend says a young girl drowned in the pool, whilst trying to escape from the unwanted advances of King John.  Unfortunately, her brother drowned shortly after when he rushed to her aide.  Since then there have been many mysterious sightings and happenings.

Later, it was thought that the author Agatha Christie had drowned here when she went missing from home.  However, she reappeared shortly after in a hotel in Harrogate.

After a visit to Silent Pool,  climb up the hill to join the North Downs Way for a family walk.  Or adults may prefer to head next door to the gin distillery!

An unusual grave at Box Hill, Surrey

One of the best outdoor places to take kids at October half-term in Surrey is Box Hill.  Here you can find the grave of  Major Labelliere’s, who was buried upside down on the hill in 1800.  Apparently, the ghost of this eccentric officer is a regular visitor to Box Hill.

Whether or not the ghost is in attendance, Box Hill is ideal for a free family day out in Surrey.  You’ll find a choice of walks including the iconic stepping stones and Box Hill’s natural play trail.

Address:  The Old Fort, Box Hill Road , Tadworth, KT20 7LB

Gibbet Hill, Hindhead

Another Halloween day out in Surrey for ghost hunters is to the top of Gibbet Hill near to the Devil’s Punch Bowl in Hindhead.  Three unknown sailors befriended a seaman in the pub.  They then followed him and murdered him on the Portsmouth Road.

The sailors were caught and hung at the top of Gibbet Hill as a warning to others.  Locals were so worried about the area being haunted that a Celtic cross was erected to ward off spirits and reassure them.
