A photograph allegedly showing a “world famous” 17th century ghost in Ham House has left a man “gob-smacked” and eager to share his divine experience.
Croydon resident Colin Iles, 30, visited Ham House on Monday, June 23, with his girlfriend Elaine Della Camera, and described hearing a deep growl while on a tour of the lower floor.
His girlfriend initially thought it was his stomach and thought nothing of it, but as they went to leave the room, something compelled her to turn and take a photo.
Mr Iles said: “We were walking out and I just felt I couldn’t be there. I had tingles down my body but my girlfriend felt the need to take a picture.
“She has no idea why she did it but I’m glad she did.”
When the couple got home and uploaded the snap, they spotted a white, orb-like shape in the picture of the empty room.
On further research, they discovered the National Trust house, built in 1610, has a history of hauntings, with the Duchess of Lauderdale and her dog the subject of numerous sightings through the years.
The house has been subject to a year long investigation by paranormal investigators which recorded a number of phenomena that remain unexplained.
Mr Iles is now convinced his photograph is the “capture of the century”, as he believes it shows the duchess, her dog and her cane, which residents claim to have heard tapping around the house.
Mr Iles said: “I was a strong believer before and watched TV programmes but you only really believe it when something happens to you. Seeing is believing.”
The couple plans to re-visit the house to see if they can gather any more ghostly evidence.
“We are curious now,” he admitted.
Something strange, in your neighbourhood? Who you gonna visit?
