37 The Ghosts of Preston Manor

Join Nat on a brief trip away from the wade to the seaside and Brighton’s hidden gem, Preston Manor. This ancient manor house is possibly England’s most haunted. There is a ghost story, sometimes multiple ghost stories for every room at this beautiful stately home.

Dan Cox Head Guide for Brighton Museums and Preston Manor takes us on a tour of the house sharing ghost stories old and new, including his own creepy encounter.

Nat also delves into the history behind Preston’s most famous phantom “The White Lady” and discovers more about the late Victorian medium Ada Goodrich Freer who held a séance at the manor in 1896.
