When I was a child about ten years old I visited Smithills Hall with my Nan. I went up some wooden stairs to look in the chapel balcony. At the top of the stairs was a little room. I went in there and opened some large cupboards. Inside were choirboys robes, obviously for the church services. I was looking through them when I felt I was being watched. I turned and there was a table and chair in the corner. I swear I saw a guy in funny clothes....as I imagined Shakespeare would have dressed with the ruff collars and tights. He had a heard and was smoking a long pipe. I screamed and ran for the door and my Nan. When she looked in there , there was no sign of the strange man. To this day I can't explain it.
