15. Blickling Hall, Norfolk
This residence is thought to have been the birthplace of one of Henry VIII’s wives: Anne Boleyn.
Chant it with me
“Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived.” – you remember this rhyme from primary school that helped us remember all six of King Henry’s wives?

Well, Anne was one of the ones who were beheaded and now her headless ghost is seen to return every year on the anniversary of her execution – 19th May…
Daddy issues
Apparently her dad (Sir Thomas Boleyn) also lurks around the grounds because he was cursed for not stopping two of his kids from being executed…

‘Dad Of The Year’ award definitely doesn’t go to Thomas so maybe he deserved this!
Do you hear something?
On the death anniversaries of other, less notable residents, you can also hear dying groans from one of the bedrooms…
