There has been a mixture of reported activity at this location from monks, to young children, maids and farm workers….and the occasional dark entity.

An apparition of a lady, said to be the ghost of a maid that burned to death by a fire, has been witnessed by many.

During investigations guests have experienced hearing footsteps when no one was there, loud bangs, hair been pulled and people have been touched.

There have been numerous sightings and reported paranormal activity throughout the hall and estate.

Whilst visiting the site we experienced a female called Martha saying “Hello” in the cellars, a male presence following us in the attic, whistles have also been heard when no one is there. We have also experienced footsteps following groups along the corridors, doors opening on their own and unexplainable loud noises.

On the main stairs we have experienced the lady of the house and in King Richards room the presence of a gentleman with a family connection to Lady Jane Grey.

The cellars are very active with some poltergeist activity

Military personnel are very active in key areas.

Haunted Heritage have been to this site on many occasions and have never been disappointed. We have experienced many paranormal incidents.
On one occasion we had a locked off camera in the bridgehouse, when viewing back, the footage became distorted as though trying to focus, next there was a sudden jerk of the camera being moved!

Another incident in the bridgehouse, while undertaking a ‘calling out’ session our medium picked the spirit energy of a man carrying a pitch fork, it some became apparent that this spirit was not alone and a strong sense of forebode resulted in the team leaving very quickly. Poltergeist activity is rife.. doors banging shut when no one is there and items being thrown.

So… what lies beneath? A rife with paranormal activity many visiting guests have witnessed unexplained phenomena. Poltergeist activity, heavy footsteps have been heard in empty corridors along with disembodied voices.
On our last visit, while undertaking a ‘watch & wait’ several of our guests heard very clearly children laughing, was this the laughter of the evacuee children? Are you brave enough to join the haunted Heritage team?

Many ghost have been seen at Newstead Abbey. One of the ghosts seen on the grounds over the years is the “White Lady”. She is called the White Lady because she is always seen wearing a white dress. Her ghost is seen in Newstead’s expansive gardens.
Another ghost seen at the Abbey is called the “Rose Lady”. This entity is seen in a passageway located at the bottom of the staircase. When the Rose Lady appears she is always accompanied by the scent of roses or lavender that lingers after she disappears.

Lord Byron himself reported seeing a ghost in one of the Abbey’s bedchambers. He was sleeping in a room called the Rook Cell when he was startled out of a sound sleep by the sensation that something had entered the bed with him. As he sat up he spotted a featureless, dark mass that had glowing red eyes. He watched as this form rolled off his bed and disappeared as it hit the floor.

This venue has reported ghost sightings over the years passed on from generation to generation, staff to staff.

Whilst touring the hall with the owners a female spirit made herself known to Gill (co owner of Haunted Heritage) and medium, as we walked through the hall we came across a beautiful portrait in the main gallery and the owner informed us was a great ancestor, this was also the same lady Gill had seen earlier.

Paranormal activity doesn’t get any better than this venue!
