The Unauthorized History

allthingsboundbylove:

Blickling Hall, Norfolk.

Anne Boleyn’s ghost is said to appear on May 19th, the anniversary of her execution. Dressed in white and carrying her severed head, she arrives in a coach driven by four headless horses and coachmen. The coach steadily drives up the driveway of Blickling Hall; upon reaching the front door the coach and drivers vanish, just leaving Anne. She then glides into the hall where she wanders the rooms until daybreak.

Also on May 19 her brother, George Boleyn, Lord Rochford, is seen being dragged across the countryside by four headless horses. His headless ghost has also been seen wandering the grounds of the estate, searching for peace and justice. Anne’s father Thomas Boleyn is another spirit at Blickling; Boleyn lost not only a daughter but his only son to execution. Some say he is the driver of the coach that delivers Anne to Blickling Hall on the anniversary of her execution. After dropping Anne off at the front doors at midnight, Sir Thomas continues on, pursued by hoards of screaming demons cursing him for his betrayal of his family. He is forced to drive his spectral coach over 12 bridges that lie between Wroxham and Blickling for 1,000 years as penance. He too carries his head underneath his arm, but flames rush from his mouth instead of blood.
