The White Lady of Ordsall Hall

Ordsall Hall is possibly the most famously haunted building in Greater Manchester. The White Lady, believed to be Margaret Radclyffe, has been seen gliding across the star chamber. Margaret is thought to be grieving the death of her twin brother who died in 1599. Visitors report unexplained cold zones throughout the rooms and disembodied footsteps echoing through the ancient halls.

Built in the 15th century, Ordsall Hall is a historic house spanning over 750 years. The current structure's oldest sections date to the 15th century and it features preserved architectural elements like the Great Hall and Star Chamber. The hall held connections to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, allegedly serving as a meeting place for conspirators Guy Fawkes and Robert Catesby. The venue has transitioned through multiple uses including residential, social club, and religious purposes.
