Victorian Lady of Brightwalton

Marquis of Granby Public House, Brightwalton, Berkshire Apparition Victorian

The Marquis of Granby Public House in Brightwalton is home to a rather intriguing ghost. A woman in Victorian dress has been spotted walking through a bricked-up doorway within the pub. It's a curious sighting, to say the least. The doorway in question no longer leads anywhere, but that hasn't stopped the lady from making her way through it. Some believe she may be a former resident or a regular from days gone by.

Historical records of the Marquis of Granby Public House date back to the 18th century, but it's unclear when the lady in Victorian dress first appeared. What's interesting is that she's not the only ghost said to haunt the premises. A hovering face of a man has also been reported. While we can't say for certain what the connection is between these two entities, it's clear that the pub has a rich history that's worth exploring. The fact that multiple witnesses have come forward with similar accounts lends credibility to the claims.
