Calvados Castle The Green Room

It was during a violent November rainstorm that the ghost acquired a voice. The household heard a long shriek that at first sounded like a woman outside in the storm calling for help. The next cry sounded from within the castle. Finally three sorrowful moans sounded coming from the direction of the staircase.

The next evening sobs and cries were heard coming from the green room. The cries seemed to be those of a woman in terrible suffering. During the next few nights, the activity seemed to become intensified and the cries of the sorrowful woman in the green room had become shrill and despairing.

The cousin of the masters wife came to visit, he was an army officer and he scoffed at the wild stories the members of the household told him, and against all their pleas, he insisted upon sleeping in the green room. They need not worry about him, he assured them, he always had his revolver at his side.

The officer strode boldly to the green room, left a candle burning as a night light, and went straight to sleep. He was awakened a short time later by what seemed to be the soft rustling of a silken robe. He was instantly aware that the candle had been extinguished and that something was tugging at the covers on his bed. In answer to his gruff demands to know who was there, he felt a cold breath of air blow out the candle he had re-lit and the rustling noise seemed to become louder, and something was definitely determined to rob him of his bedclothes. When he shouted that whoever was there must declare himself or he would shoot, the only response to his demand was an exceptionally violent tug on the covers.

It was a simple matter to determine where his silent adversary stood by the sound of the rustling and the pull on the bedclothes, so he decided to shoot three times. The bullets struck nothing but the wall, and he dug them out with a knife that next morning.
