Baskerville Hall
If Baskerville Hall sounds familiar, that’s because it’s the setting for Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles. The famous story is part of the Sherlock Holmes series whose plot centered around phantom demon dogs with supernatural powers. Though the novel is set in Devon, Baskerville Hall’s site notes that Conan Doyle often stayed at the property, where he heard local legends about Baskerville’s deadly dogs. Ironically, none of the actual ghostly happenings involve dogs (and nobody could mistake the one pictured here for an evil hound), but there is a White Lady who haunts the Rose Garden, and a male ghost who likes the main staircase. And fitting for a place built in 1839, it’s not uncommon to hear banging noises and footsteps once the lights go out.
