Riddlesworth Hall is a boarding school for children. During the summer, the building is used as a summer camp where, nowadays, fifty four students from all over the world are spending two weeks having fun, learning English and living with each other. But, are they the only visitors or is there someone else?
According to our sources, Riddlesworth Hall has been burned down a few times. There were no reasons found for this, but some of the inhabitants had to pay for this with their lives. Although they just disappeared and there were no bodies found; these people still come to visit the house but not in a human appearance.
Who hasn't heard about the stairway ghost? If you hear a noise on the stairs at midnight, don't go to watch or you will be scared of the ghost's legs going up and downstairs. He has been wandering in the house since he was killed in one of the fires.
The highest number of ghosts has been seen by the family who lives in Riddlesworth Hall. They lived on the top level until they saw one of the ghosts. Then, they moved to the first floor. So, what happens at night in the upper floors of the residence? We don't know, but we can imagine, and you?
And what about the piano in the music room behind the kitchen? Have you heard the rumours which say that it plays itself at night? Scary or not? You will never know it until you go there and feel yourself the fear going through your body when you play it... like one of our reporters did.
Have you ever been in the kitchen at night... we won't do it again. It was a scary experience after that one of the cooks had told us in an interview that she had been touched once there by one of the ghosts... so don't think of drinking water after the sun has gone down, it's better to be dehydrated.
Are you scared now? Wait until you read the story of what happened to one of the owners of the house. Once, when one of the baths was being repaired she went out for less than a minute and although no one had been there everything was full of dust and when she tried to tidy it up it become a red liquid which looked like blood. And what about the day they were eating outside and when they came into the kitchen someone had removed all the plates from their original place. Would you like to live there all the year?
How about visiting the cemetery behind the church? There rest the bodies from the other inhabitants of the house. Despite it being a very interesting place to visit, we don't think it is a good idea to do it at night.
Not scared yet after reading this? Go downstairs and try to see your reflection on the right birds showcase...you won't be able to. The only thing you will see is the image of the first owner of the house, the first person who died here and who couldn't be removed from here like the other ones. Here seems to be cursed. Who will be the next victim?
