Scudamore in Letchworth, Hertfordshire, is home to a rather unusual haunting. It's not the typical ghost story, but one that involves a family pet being terrified by phantom footsteps. In 1947, a family living at Scudamore reported that their pet was constantly scared whenever these unexplained footsteps were heard stomping around the building.

Mercure Letchworth Hall Hotel, Letchworth

The Mercure Letchworth Hall Hotel in Hertfordshire is said to be haunted by the ghost of Reverend William Alington.

It seems that Reverend Alington was quite the character in life - suspended from his duties due to drinking and some rather questionable behaviour with his parishioners.
