The Stanley Palace Haunting's
Chester's picturesque Stanley Palace is one of the most atmospheric and haunted buildings within the city walls. The ancient half-timbered, black-and-white, haunted mansion on Watergate Street was once the town house of James Stanley, the 7th Earl of Derby. Following the Parliamentarian's resounding victory in the English Civil War, the outspoken Earl foolishly voiced his Royalist opinions once too often – openly supporting the exiled King Charles II. Predictably, the Earl was arrested in 1651, tried, and convicted of treason. Surrounded by Roundhead troopers, he was then kept under strict house arrest in Stanley Palace before being escorted to Bolton for execution.

His last days were undoubtedly traumatic as he said a final goodbye to his family and friends. Today, his ghost still wanders wearily through the ground floor rooms, dressed forever in his smartest court finery. Strangest of all, however, is the fact that he appears as if in a photographic negative – with a dark face, black shirt, and white jacket. But quite why that is, no one can explain.

Stanley Palace has had its share of visitors and many have told afterwards of the strange and chilling presence they felt whilst visiting. Many have reported hearing children’s giggles, and soft moans and murmurs.

The figure of a lady dressed in 17th Century clothing has on a number of occasions been seen entering the Queen Anne Room, footsteps have been heard in the gallery and strange smells filling the air at any time of the day. Will we encounter the Monks that once dwelled on this site? You may even catch a glimpse of a Roman soldier as he wanders between the two worlds! The Ghost Hunt will commence around 11pm, the evening will start with a Medium Workshop and Ghost Hunt of the location.
