      highlow hall 4
      Rotting Ghost - Once the most haunted house in Derbyshire, it has lost that designation because of declining activity over the years. Now a bed and breakfast this 16th century house can be booked for the night so that you can attempt to experience paranormal activity. The amazing thing about Highlow Hall is that a curse was placed on the male members of the family. The story says that Sir Nicholas Eyre courted the two sisters of the last male heir of the house in hopes to gain the entire fortune up on his death. He ended up choosing the eldest sister. The younger sister was so distraught that she fled the home, never to be seen again. One day the ghost of the girl appeared before him. She cursed the male members of the family and said that the wealth would only last 14 generations after which time they would be forced to leave Highlow Hall and lose thier fortunes. Oddly enough, as circumstance would have it, the events said by the ghost did happen. The Eyres became very wealthy lords of over 20 manors but their fortunes declined and by 1842 they were bankrupt and forced to leave highlow.
