Hinton Ampner House is a stately home and gardens, built in 1790 but remodelled extensively in 1867. It is owned by the National Trust and is open to the public.

It was once considered to be the most haunted house in England. During the mid-eighteenth century came reports of a haunting at this manor house, it is reportedly became that bad that the house was taken down and reconstructed some 50 yards away! This did not abate some of the phenomena, which continued to persist.

This included the apparitions of “a man in a drab coat” and a “woman in rustling silk”; and the sounds of knocks, doors being slammed, along with “terrifying screams”. Some attribute the apparitions to being that of Lord Stawell and his sister-in-law.

According to Evans, there is no recent phenomena reported in the house, although some have experienced the feeling of unease where the original premises stood.
