Author of the Book Some Notes on the Family of Merryweather of England
and America.
From a book GHOSTS OF THE SOUTH EAST, Part One, By TONY ELLIS
Langenhoe, nr Colchester, Essex
Both the manor house and the church (the latter being demolished in
1962), were the scene of strange hauntings for many years. Until he came
to Langenhoe in 1937, the Rev. Ernest Merryweather had experienced no
psychic occurrences himself but he was to experience many strange
phenomena whilst there, including being embraced by a naked female ghost.
The first phenomenon occurred in the church almost as soon as he had
arrived. On 20th September, 1937, which was a quiet Autumn day, he was
standing alone in the church when the big West Door, which had been
standing open, suddenly crashed shut with such a force that it shook the
whole building. On two occasions he found that his valise, which carried
his vestments and books, was inexplicably locked whilst he was in the
vestry and no amount of effort would unlock the case whilst he was there.
However, as soon as he left the church the valise was unlocked on both
occasions without difficulty.
On Easter Sunday, 1945, Mrs Gertrude Barnes and her daughter were in the
church helping to decorate it with flowers before the congregation
arrived. Having put some flowers in a vase, she laid it on a pew and went
to another part of the church to arrange some more flowers. On returning
to the pew Mrs Barnes found the flowers removed from the vase and placed
on the pew. Later there were other inexplicable incidents concerning
flowers when they either disappeared or appeared.
In the Autumn of 1947 the rector paid a visit to Mrs Cutting at the manor
house. Showing him over the house they entered a rather charming bedroom
at the front which Mrs Cutting said she had never personally used as
there was something about the room that she did not like. After a few
moments Mrs Cutting left the rector in the bedroom saying that she could
stand the atmosphere no longer. He went over to the window to admire the
view outside and, turning, he moved directly into the embrace of a naked
young phantom lady. This phenomenon lasted only a few seconds.
In 1948, from July to December, thuds were heard coming from the vestry
door during the course of church services and on 11th November, whilst
raking coal at the side of the church, the rector sensed that something
was near him. He stopped raking the coal and stuck the iron rod he had
been using into the pile and hung his hat on it. To his surprise the hat
started to revolve.
On 8th December, 1948, the rector and several members of his congregation
heard strange noises which seemed to come from the direction of a
blocked-up doorway which had once been the private entrance to the church
from the manor house. The noises seemed to resemble a man’s cough and
later a credence bell appeared to ring of its own volition . This
credence bell was heard to ring on several occasions afterwards without
anyone being near it. Lamps were seen to swing without reasonable cause.
