Peterhouse, Cambridge

Deep within the historic walls of Peterhouse in Cambridge, a sense of unease settles over the Combination Room, a spot where tragedy unfolded back in 1789. It's here that Francis Dawes, the former bursar, took his own life by hanging, a desperate act triggered by an election scandal that led to an unpopular fellow becoming Master of Peterhouse. Over two centuries later, in 1997, staff members began reporting strange occurrences that would leave even the most sceptical minds questioning what really happens when the lights go out. A butler and a waiter claimed to have spotted a white figure drifting between the spiral staircase and the centre of the Combination Room, a sighting that was both unsettling and intriguing.
