Ghost hunters will flock to one of the country's spookiest buildings for a festival dedicated to paranormal activity. An evening of ghostly events will take place at Bisham Abbey on Saturday May 10 from 7pm to 12pm. The Abbey is packed with eight hundred years of history and is reputed to be the third most haunted building in the country.Henry VIII and Elizabeth I are among the famous historical figures to have stayed there. Lady Hoby, whose portrait hangs in the Abbey, is the most renowned spectre - appearing with a white dress but with black hands and face. Some guests claim to have seen the apparition tearing blankets from beds and throwing objects around rooms. A number of bizarre goings on have been reported through the centuries. Spectral lights have been seen hovering over a secret passage and dancing over the lawn. On midsummer evenings some have seen an eerie blue mist seeping from the Abbey and rolling across the Thames to the meadows south west of Marlow. Martin Jeffrey, Director of event organiser Fright Nights, said: "We're delighted to host our first Ghost Festival at Bisham Abbey which have proved extremely popular to anyone with an interest in the paranormal." Clairvoyants and paranormal investigators will lead ghost hunting vigils in the Abbey's most haunted areas. Mr Jeffrey said: "The public will have the chance to visit some of the Abbey's most haunted rooms and hopefully catch a glimpse of the paranormal including the infamous Lady Hoby. "As with all our ghost hunts, people must be pre-warned that anything could happen when they set foot inside this haunted and historic building." Have you ever seen a ghost at the Abbey?
