Via Lowering the Bar, here's another ghosts in the mansion story. The Beeb reports that an owner, a businessman who made his money in health care, has voluntarily relinquished his Norman Conquest era home to the bank because the mansion (Clifton Hall) is haunted. He didn't believe in the paranormal when he and his family moved in, but subsequent events and the inability of paranormal investigators to shoo the incorporeal tenants from the premises convinced him to move out. Why doesn't he pay off the mortage (it's only a little over 3 million pounds, which he seems to have--he owns a bunch of other houses) and open the place up for ghost tours, or rent it out as a bed and breakfast? Read more here.
Update: The former owner seems to be willing to speak out about his experiences at Clifton Hall to folks who take the ghost tours sponsored by the paranormal investigators who checked out this mansion. Meanwhile, he and his family have moved to Wollaton. But there seem to be ghosts in at least one building in that town too. Check it out.
