BUILT on the site of a former priory, Longleat House is a hive of ghostly activity. 
One corridor is named after the spirit of a green lady seen by several eyewitnesses. The ghost is believed to be Lady Louisa Carteret, who was married to the second Viscount of Weymouth. The Viscount murdered Lady Carteret's illicit lover and buried his body in the cellar. Lady Carteret died during childbirth in 1736 and supposedly haunts the corridors looking for her lost love. A bishop confined to the house during the persecution of the Catholics is reputed to haunt the library while the spirit of Cardinal Woolsey and a cavalier have also been spotted. |
