THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Carclew House is said to be haunted by a female spirit most often encountered on the upper floor. Visitors have reported seeing, hearing, or sensing the presence of a young woman. Local ghost lore connects the apparition to the family of former owner Langdon Bonython, although the dramatic story surrounding her alleged death should be regarded as unverified legend.
Now used as an arts centre, Carclew House has long been associated with reports of a female apparition and an unseen presence, particularly on the upper floor. The identity and origin of the reported spirit remain part of local folklore rather than established history.
