Most Haunted House in Britain Up for Sale



If you are one of those people who get thrilled by the paranormal, a property in England could become your personal haunted house.

Portsmouth City Council has put Wymering Manor on the auction block. Wymering Manor is touted as Britain's most haunted property.

'This is a property of some renown for being haunted, so there is a fair chance a future owner may use it as a guest house because of the novelty factor attached to it," surveyor Jeremy Lamb told the U.K.'s Daily Mail newspaper.

History

Acceding to Wikipedia, Wymering Manor is the oldest building in the city of Portsmouth, England and was the manor house of Wymering, a settlement mentioned in the Doomsday Book. It is first recorded in 1042, when it was owned by King Edward the Confessor. After the Battle of Hastings it became the property of King William the Conqueror, until 1084. Manor was listed as a Grade II building in 1953 and upgraded in 2003.

The manor was bought in the 1960s by Portsmouth City Council, which leased it to the Youth Hostel Association until 2006. It was then sold to a private organization after the cost of the upkeep became too much for the council.

The purchasers intended to restore the manor and turn it into a hotel and function rooms, trading on the historic and paranormal links after a visit by the Most Haunted Live television program in May 2006.

However, the development never took place and it was returned to the council. The building will go up for auction at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London on September 21 with a minimum guide price of £350,000.

Hunted

Spookylocations.com says Wymering Manor is "not for the faint hearted" as there have been a number of reports of paranormal experiences in the old building.

The website also reported there have been sightings of a man hanging from a tree in the yard, a woman dressed in violet dress standing at the end of a bed, a man known as Reckless Roddy who was killed in the laneway, and the ghost of a nun with her hands dripping blood.
