The Legend of the young girl of Saxon origin, who came to work at the Manor as a serving maid and was seduced by the Lord of the Manor and threw the resulting child out the window .Traditional history, makes this impossible since the Manor dates from around 1540, nearly 500 years after the disappearance of Saxon wenches.
A remarkable manifestation reported during the 1970’s was the appearance of phantom clothing, ‘the skirt of brown silk dress’ sweeping through part of the building. As well as being seen , the dress was also heard by witnesses .Claims were made that the dress was worn by the Saxon girl but history renders this impossible as silk was not introduced until the 17th Century . A slightly more plausible candidate for the wear of the phantom dress is Mrs Fitzherbert, the lover of the Prince Regent in the 18th Century. Mrs Fitzherbert was reputed to have visited the Hangleton Manor in her lifetime .
More remarkable stories from the 1970’s from former employees who stated a female phantom in the building caused weird rapping’s from behind wood paneling and ghostly cries from a some what ‘ tortured soul’ were happening at night .
There are two female ghosts. One is shyer she is often sensed rather than seen if she disapproves of someone she will gently push the person out the room. But it is a subtle pressure. Others have felt her sweeping by leaving a faint chill in the air.
