Case 192: The Ghost of Raynham Hall - Real or Fake
Episode 192
Thursday, 11 December, 2025
There are few ghost stories as stubbornly persistent—or as photographically bold—as that of the Brown Lady of Raynham Hall. Even if you’ve never heard her name, you’ve almost certainly seen the image: a spectral figure gliding down a grand staircase, flowing like smoke caught mid-breath. It’s the kind of photograph that forces you to lean in just a little too close, squinting to decide whether you’re looking at a ghost, a clever trick of light, or one of the greatest paranormal hoaxes of the twentieth century. Tonight, we’re pulling apart the threads of this famous haunting to figure out which of those possibilities still holds up.Before she became the world’s most recognisable apparition, the Brown Lady was Dorothy Walpole, sister to Britain’s first Prime Minister and a woman whose life was far more dramatic than any ghost story needs to be. Trapped in a toxic marriage, separated from her children, and rumoured to have died under… let’s say “uncomfortable circumstances,” Dorothy’s history alone is enough to leave an emotional imprint deep within the walls of Raynham Hall. And, in typical aristocratic fashion, the house itself seems determined to keep every secret ever whispered inside it—including hers.But then came 1936, the year that changed everything. Two photographers from Country Life captured an image that ignited a global debate that still burns today. Was it a genuine ghost caught on film? A double exposure? A staged event? Or was it something more nuanced—an honest moment misread through the lens of our obsession with the paranormal? Tonight, we’re diving into the photograph, the folklore, the woman behind the legend, and the question that refuses to die: is the Brown Lady a true haunting, or just the perfect storm of tragedy, belief, and timing? Settle in—this one has a bit of everything.Send us a Christmas card or postcard to:Anne and RenataP.O.Box 2289Dangar 2309NSW Australia 👉 Don’t forget to subscribe to True Hauntings for more terrifying tales, chilling investigations, and the odd bit of ghost-hunting mischief.💀 Support us: Buy us a coffee🎭 Join the madness: Become a Patreon Ghostie📺 Watch the misadventures: YouTube: Frightfully GoodAlso Follow Anne and Renata:Facebook: @AnneAndRenataInstagram: @AnneAndRenataYouTube: @AnneAndRenataTikTok: @AnneAndRenataWe pass on our HUGE THANK YOU for listening and following.We could not do this without you.#anneandrenata #ghosts #hauntings #paranormalpodcast #frightfullygood #FrightfullyGood #HauntedHolidays #diaryofaghosthunter #poltergeist #ghostbusters #Poltergeist #PoltergeistActivity #ParanormalPodcast #TrueGhostStories #CreepyEncounters #HauntedPlaces #GhostHunter #SpiritActivity #SupernaturalStories #UrbanLegends #HauntedHistory #OccultPodcast #demons #poltergeist #TrueHauntingsPodcast #brownladyofraynhamhall #ghostofraynhamhall #ghostphotography #realorfake #hauntedenglishmansions #photographofthebrownladyofraynhamhall Hosted on Acast.
