About this episode
The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall—a vast estate that has belonged to the Viscount and Marquess Townshends for hundreds of years—might be one of Britain's most famous ghosts. She's rumored to be Dorothy Walpole Townshend, wife to the second Viscount and sister to Robert Walpole, Britain's first prime minister. And an image of her ghost, descending the staircase that appeared in Country Life Magazine in December of 1936? That photo is certainly one of most of the most notable examples of spirit photography in existence.
