Racton Monument, West Sussex (PiP)

Racton Monument, West Sussex (PiP)
Racton Monument (also called Racton Ruin or Racton Tower), is a folly situated on a hill in Racton, West Sussex, England. It was commissioned by the 2nd Earl of Halifax, possibly as a summerhouse for the nearby Stansted Estate, though an alternative theory suggests it could have been constructed so the Earl could watch his merchant ships dock at the nearby port village of Emsworth.

it has been abandoned for over a century and is in a state of ruin, with the floors and much of the original flint facing having disappeared, and its roof caving in. Some people believe it is haunted.

Best viewed large, on black. Thank you.

I don't tell many people this as they give me a sorry looking smile, but I have seen a ghost and I was with my daughter at the time and she saw the same as me. I think I have seen another one, at least it was something very strange! I wish we could rid ourselves of damn druggies Keith!

I'm neutral on the matter of the existence of ghosts..............but I do believe there are lots of strange phenomena (for want of a better word), which cannot yet be explained, so who knows?

Bonjour Keith, c'est bien intéréssant tout ça. Cette tour me rappelle une tour "Navajo" que j'avais vue aux USA auprés du grand canyon je crois ( Il me semble me souvenir que c'était une tour d'observation) .Certes, les Navajos ne sont pas venus construire celle ci mais peut être certains navigateurs en ont ramené l'idée. En conclusion, il pourrait être intéréssant d'amener un chaman Navajos (qui sont meilleurs spécialistes que nous pour communiquer avec les esprits) afin qu'il explore ce lieu.. bonne semaine à toi.
