A while ago I visited a place called Borwick Hall in Lancaster, England, with a group of friends. We were told of many spirits that were in the house. A priest had died there hiding in the walls from Protestant Priest hunters, Catholicism was a crime a few hundred years ago. We were also told of a girl who had died in the largest of the rooms, where I was to sleep. She was locked in there after disobeying her parents by not marrying the man of their choice. Eventually, she threw herself from the window. That is how the records of the house state the incident. That evening I believe I had an encounter with the girl and it strikes fear in me now just to recollect the incident.
I saw a grey mist at the foot of a friends bed, I remember feeling emotions which I knew were not mine. I had feelings of great sorrow and I could not stop myself from weeping uncontrollably. I had put the incident to the back of my mind, but I have been told that we are to make a return visit. I wonder if you could shed more light on the incident, so I will feel more comfortable on my return visit next month. I'm sure I wasn't even supposed to see the spirit.

There were plenty of atrocities during that era and they were also right about the ghosts residing in that place. In particular, the girl that they claim threw herself from the window was false. She was raped and then thrown out of the window by the culprit. She was only 15 years old.
On your return visit, should you have another encounter with the girl, try to talk to her. Do not be afraid for you might find the experience very pleasant and refreshing. If the owner of the house would like us to release all of the entities, we will accomodate their request.
