Chingle: Britain's Most Haunted House

Sally Wallbank’s Chingle: Britain’s Most Haunted House centres on Chingle Hall, the moated Lancashire manor whose reputation rests on generations of reported paranormal activity. The book gathers accounts linked to the building and its history, presenting the hall as a place where folklore, local memory and alleged supernatural experiences have become closely entwined.

Among the figures associated with Chingle Hall are a monk, a Lady in Black, a weeping child and a headless man. The stories also involve the Catholic priest John Wall, a priest hole and reports of footsteps, knockings, cold spots and unexplained lights. Wallbank’s account provides a focused record of one of Britain’s best-known haunted houses and the traditions attached to it.
