The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall is probably the most famous and most
widely used reported ghost photo there is.According to legend, the "Brown Lady of Raynham Hall" is the ghost of Lady Dorothy Walpole (1686-1726) and is so named because of the brown brocade dress it is claimed she wears.
It is said that Lady Townsend's husband, Charles Townsend, suspected his wife of being unfaithful and even though she is listed as having been buried in 1725 many people think that her death and funeral were faked. Instead, Lady Townsend was locked away in a remote part of the house until she passed away in 1726 from smallpox never allowing her to even see her children. Ever since then she is thought to be haunting Raynham Hall.
Raynham Hall is a country house in Norfolk, England. For nearly 400 years it has been the seat of the Townsend family.
Pay close attention to the timing of the events to see if this is planned by the ghost, just a coincidence or deliberately planned?
The first recorded sighting of the ghost was made at a gathering at Raynham Hall at Christmas in 1835.
The next sighting of the "Brown Lady" was made in 1836 by Captain Frederick Marryat a friend of novelist Charles Dickens.
