Love the hit musical Six? Head to Blicking Hall! The stunning Jacobean mansion in sweeping parkland teems with ghosts. Take Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII’s squeeze when he went off Katherine of Aragon. Anne had a daughter but it was unthinkable a mere girl might be turn out to be one of England’s greatest monarchs, so Henry accused Anne of adultery, treason, witchcraft and sexual deviation. With her own brother – to show he was really serious. Anne was beheaded in 1536. On 19th May, the anniversary, you might see her carriage storming up the drive, with headless horses whipped on by a headless coachman. The only head around is Anne’s, though she’s holding it in her lap. Scary! The coach skids to a halt and Anne rushes into the Hall, crying through the rooms, vanishing at first light.

Lord Rochford, Anne’s brother, was also executed. His headless ghost is seen being dragged across country by more headless horses. And then there’s headless Sir Thomas Boleyn, their father, cursed for failing to protect his children. Doomed for all eternity to attempt crossing 12 bridges before cockcrow, destined never to complete his frantic task.

Prefer ghosts with heads? Sir Henry Hobart built Blickling in the 17th century on the site of Sir Thomas Boleyn’s house. Fatally injured in a duel, his dying groans still echo through the corridors. A merrier ghost is Sir John Falstofe, alleged inspiration for Shakespeare’s Falstaff. Bet he’s the death and soul of the party.
