Tortured Spirit of Charlotte Clopton
Stratford's Clopton Hall is home to a heartbreaking tale of tragedy and torment. Charlotte Clopton, a young member of the family, met a horrific end when she was accidentally buried alive in the family vault. The mistake was realised too late, and Charlotte's spirit now roams the halls in agony. Her mouth still bears the gruesome mark of her desperate attempt to free herself, as blood issues from her lips where she bit off her own tongue in a futile bid for escape.
The story of Charlotte's untimely demise is intertwined with the history of the Clopton family, who resided at the hall during the Victorian era. Alongside Charlotte, two other restless spirits are said to haunt the premises: Margaret, another female family member who took her own life by drowning in the well, and a murderer who committed a heinous crime in the chapel. These troubled souls contribute to the eerie atmosphere that pervades Clopton Hall, making it a chilling destination for those drawn to the paranormal.
The Clopton family were significant landowners in Stratford during the Victorian era.
