Eastbury Manor House

Saturday 4th September 2010

Tudor manor house’s ghostly secrets

Eastbury Manor House: The Cat, the Witch and the Garderobe
We return to one of our favourite locations this autumn as we delve a little further into the supernaturally charged Eastbury Manor. Even on the sunniest of day this house has presence, but under a waning moon and darkening shadows the ambience turns sour.  Will the Phantom cat be seen again, has the witches curse remained, does a menacing entity reside in the garderobe? There’s only one way to find out. The shadows of Eastbury Manor yield an un-nerving and magnetic pull. If you have never been to Eastbury this is one for you.


PARANORMAL ACTIVITY
This imposing listed building is probably one of the finest examples of its period in this area. Whilst echoing the past in every context, the ghost stories are abundant and help knit together feelings of fear and anxiety often felt in the location. Stories leaking from the house recall, tales of a ghostly Victorian girl, a phantom cat, a white lady in the garden, Doors that open and close and a dark menacing entity with red eyes which can overpower those who enter one particular room. Whilst staying overnight, a couple had their door open suddenly and the bed kicked violently. Trance like states have affected several employees and scratches have appeared over their hands.

Another recent discovery recalls an incident in between one The Barking Witches and the then present occupier (who was the magistrate who issued her arrest)  It was documented that the witch, who was blamed for 2 deaths, cursed the Magistrate on her imprisonment. Upon this the man suddenly fell at home in Eastbury manor, in tremendous pain. She was then executed. Does the witches curse still reside in the ether at the manor or does the witch herself return to seek revenge?
With a plethora of ghostly goings-on, possible connections to the gunpowder plot, an underground and banned religion, much infant mortality and complex ownership, the house’s emotional residue should be very powerful. Join us as we explore the hidden realms of Eastbury Manor.

HISTORY
Eastbury Manor house was believed to be built by, wealthy merchant, Clement Sysley in the late 16th century on the site of an older house, which was once part of Barking Abbey.
Formally known as a ‘gentry’s house’ the building’s exterior remains Elizabethan in appearance, and originally stood in farmland and countryside.  A connection with the gunpowder plot has been linked to the house but not confirmed.

The house passed through several hands before coming virtually derelict in 1700’s. In 1834, farm labours lodged in the neglected property before part of it was converted into stables, and coach houses. In early 20th century it was decided to save the ancient house. The house is now used for community and business activities.
