I read a book a few years ago regarding Chingle Hall near Preston. If I remember correctly a Granada televison presenter ran out screaming (Paul Crone) I think and vowed never to return. Apparently priests used to hide there. I vaguely remember the substance of the book. But when I was at college quite a few years ago a group were going on about staying there, alas they did not. Its just I have not heard of the place for ages and was wondering if anyone on this site had been and visited Chingle Hall or had stayed there overnight.

The name rings a bell but it's not one I'm familiar with

I've heard lots of conflicting stories about this place. I know people who will swear blue that it's the most haunted building on the face of the earth, and others who will argue it's about as active as a dead cat... ;D No idea myself, as I've never been, but I've heard some good tales and seen some surprising photographs taken on vigils there so who knows eh?  |

you have to register to read it Oh bugger . I have heard tales of blue flickering lights, chairs moving across the floors of empty rooms, moaning and whirling type draughts tormenting people on vigils. I watched some programme on it years ago and there was something about a fireplace if I remember rightly. Never been but its only 18 or so miles from where I live |

The last thing i heard about Chingle Hall was that they have stopped all paranormal investigations there and it is now a private house.................

Lol The book I read stated that they see monks hovering along the floor because the original floor is lower than the one thats there now. Also I think if I remember correctly that the chapel is both RC and C o f E. I bet they stopped the visiting due to Most Haunted and everyone jumping on the bandwagon. Thank you for the replies and the url's. Its only around 40 mins from where I live so I will have to have a drive up one day.  |

They do still do investigations, but you have to know the right people to get in there;)

I did Chingle hall a few years ago. Was a bloody weird place! Not as active as some would have you believe though, but still a bloody weird place..hearing footsteps above you and seeing shadows pass by the floor boards isnt good at 3am and you and two others only ones in the place! |

Especially when you are a big wimp who is scared of the dark, and doesnt have a sceptical bone in their body. ie:EVERTHING is paranormal |

im scared of the dark  really though, it freaks me out, sets my over active imagination off, id be no good spending a night in a haunted home, or should i say reportedly haunted home, i would literally make myself ill worrying about it. i dont even like walking across the landing to the bathroom in the night i always think someone watching me  |

When I did an investigation with Kendra, she s*it herself at every little noise.
Where as me, I just chilled out.
The sight of Kendra jumping behind Andy and holding onto him tight as a door slammed shut still makes me smile to this day.

:oWhen i do an invo i never get scared, if i hear a noise i go and investigate it (on my own if need be), i like the excitment and expectancy of it all.
