According to Haunted Happenings ghost hunters, the ghosts and spirits that have been encountered at Wentworth Woodhouse are numerous. They include the figure of a ghostly monk and the ghost of a man who has been described as a creepy statue as he appears to stand absolutely still when people walk past. People have encountered ghostly footsteps, children laughing and people being grabbed by unseen hands. Doors open and close by themselves and very recently in the George IV quarters a member of staff heard a door handle rattling and then the door closed by itself. Deep gutteral voices are often heard and loud bangs coming from nowhere. The haunted library and the George IV drawing room are definitely places where you are likely to experience paranormal activity with shadows being seen and figures standing in doorways.
Wentworth Woodhouse has an ill-fated history being home to Thomas Wentworth, who met his untimely demise as Administrator to King Charles 1st. With family feuds, rivalry and many skeletons in the family closet this house is a house of mystery and intrige in its own right.
