The Small World Guide says: Undoubtedly Shoregrave's most haunted building, Padley was built in the late seventeenth century and destroyed by fire in 1897. After it was rebuilt, it quickly became apparent that the spirits of those killed in the fire lingered in the manor. Altogether there are twenty known ghosts within its walls, many dating back to before the manor was even built. Phantom footsteps, child ghosts, and fire victims are the most commonly observed spirits, but paranormal investigators believe this is merely the tip of the haunted iceberg.
Yasmin Stoker says: At the top of the stairs ahead of me, a pair of girls watched me. They were no more than ten years old, perfectly matched twins with pale hair and black eyes. One of them opened her mouth to smile at me. Her tongue was missing and spectral blood poured from her mouth, black and gleaming. The other turned her head to look at her sister, and a gaping wound appeared in her throat, spilling dark fluid over her white dress.
