The Phantom Mother

There seems to be more than one ghost wandering the halls of Littlecote House over the years. When we walked into the small chapel, we noticed a plaster statue of a small infant just setting on the window sill. Turns out it is the baby being referred to in the following:

Another Littlecote House ghost seems to have appeared to Peter de Savary soon after he became owner of the property. He decided to hold an auction sale of unwanted furnature and other stuff from the house. As he was walking around the house on the morning of the sale, he encountered a mid-aged woman dressed in modern clothes in one of the corridors. Before de Savary could ask her how she came to be there, the woman spoke. She told him that he was wicked and evil for removing her baby's clothes from the chapel. She told him that if he returned the box to its proper place, he would prosper. However, she warned him, no good would come if he failed to do this. She then seemed to disappear before the startled man's eyes.
de Savary remembered the box. He had removed it from a window ledge in the chapel. He eventually found it amongst the other items for sale. When the box was opened, it did indeed contain baby clothes and some paper that dated them to 1861. Not surprisingly, he put the box back on the chapel window ledge where he had originally found it.

As our tour group exited the chapel, our guide encouraged us to NOT move the little chest of baby clothes and you can believe we walked way, way around it!
