Initial data

Initial information from sources or from an eyewitness
Incident date: 
1792
Location: 
Hinton Ampner
United Kingdom

The old Tudor house gained notoriety in the 18th century after it was said to have become uninhabitable due to loud noises attributed to the poltergeist. One of the tenants, Mary Ricketts, wrote about her experience in the house.

This house was demolished in 1793, after its replacement was built about 50 meters (160 feet) to the south. Harry Price, quoting Ricketts' statements, described this case in detail in his book "Poltergeist Over England" (1945).

The poltergeist claims have been disputed By Trevor H. Hall, who suggested that "groundwater was mainly responsible for the noise in Hinton, although the description of some of them is very suggestive of seismic disturbances."

Original news

The old Tudor house attained notoriety, in the 18th century, after it was said to have become uninhabitable due to loud noises attributed to a poltergeist. One tenant, Mary Ricketts, wrote about her experiences in the house.[15] That house was pulled down in 1793, after its replacement had been built about 50 metres (160 feet) to the south. Harry Price, citing Ricketts' statements, wrote at length about the case in his book Poltergeist Over England (1945).

Claims about the poltergeist were disputed by Trevor H. Hall who suggested that "underground water was mainly responsible for the noises at Hinton, although the account of some of them is highly suggestive of seismic disturbance."
