5. Tulip Staircase Ghost
Now I need to give a local shout out to Ralph Hardy who was a retired clergyman from White Rock, British Columbia which is only a stones throw away from where I grew up. Thankfully, though, this photo was taken far away from B.C.
Hardy took the photo in 1966 when he was visiting the Queen’s House section of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England.
It’s definitely a beautiful staircase, but you need to admit the creepy ghost climbing the stairs definitely takes away from some of the overall aesthetic value.
If you want further proof that the house may be haunted, it was reported by two Gallery Assistant’s that they once saw the doors slam shut by themselves and then saw a woman gliding across the balcony and then entered a wall on the west balcony.
The assistants then chased after the ghost (are you kidding me?!) and saw it pass through the Queen’s Bedroom and out through the wall.
It has also been reported that people have spotted a pale woman frantically mopping up blood (no thank you), which is allegedly the ghost of a maid who was thrown from the highest bannister 50 years ago. Some people have also said that they’ve heard unexplained choral chanting and some tourists have experienced being pinched by unseen figures.
Sounds like a pretty solid setting for a horror movie to me!
