The ghost is, like most stories, authenticated in the minds of those who believe in them, but improbable in the minds of those who don't. One or two stories are known of a presence in the minstrel's gallery in the main hall.
Other stories involve strange lights, particularly seen in the dovecote, off the stable yard, where there are some residents' flats. The lake has been the site of suicides over the centuries and, less unhappily, it would seem that from a more recent past, a woman walking a dog, can still occasionally be seen at dusk, much as she had been doing in her lifetime.
