Henrietta's Vengeful Spirit

Yaxley Hall, Yaxley

Yaxley Hall in Suffolk is home to a rather unusual ghost story. It centres around Henrietta Nelson, a member of the family who lived there in the nineteenth century. Apparently, Henrietta wasn't too popular with her relatives, which led her to exact a rather unusual revenge. She requested to be buried in a special mausoleum on the estate, which, much to everyone's dismay, ruined the view from the hall. Fast forward a few generations, and her chamber was knocked down. This seemed to stir up some unfinished business, as Henrietta's ghost began to make appearances. But here's the twist - instead of haunting the building itself, her spirit took a liking to her portrait. When the painting was sold, Henrietta's ghost followed it, only returning to Yaxley Hall in 2005, 100 years after it was removed.
