Eyam Rectory Ghost
Rectory, Eyam
The Eyam Rectory in Derbyshire is said to be haunted by the ghost of Catherine Mompesson, a woman who may have died in the 1665 plague. Strange occurrences have been reported here, including doors opening and closing on their own, and the sound of footsteps along corridors that should be empty. One maid claimed to have seen Catherine on the back staircase, while others have heard the rustling of an invisible dress. These sightings and sounds have been reported by numerous people, including the rector himself.
