Athelhampton House

Dorset

History

Paranormal Activity

The historical ghost of Athelhampton is that of an ape, which belonged to one of the Martyns in the sixteenth-century. This was also the emblem of the Martyns which can be seen in the coats of arms in the stained glass windows in the Great Hall. When the line ceased in 1595 the ape roamed the house searching for its new master only to find four surviving daughters. The haunting can be heard as scratching behind the panelling in the Great Chamber as the beast tries to escape from the secret staircase and cellar it is trapped in. A ghostly cooper taps away at barrels in the Wine Cellar which is accessed from the Great Hall, where two duellist’s fight at evening time. This believed to date back to the Civil War when the house had Royalist connections.
