World famous supermodel Claudia Schiffer admits her her Tudor mansion in Suffolk is haunted, but don’t worry as the several ghosts she shares her home with are actually ‘friendly’
Claudia Schiffer shares her Tudor mansion with “a few friendly ghosts”.
The 54-year-old supermodel said she and her family have each had their own paranormal experiences at Coldham Hall in Suffolk – but says they’ve been positive. She shares her Grade I listed home, which was built in 1574 and was formerly used as a haven for catholic priests, with her filmmaker hubby Matthew Vaughn and their three children.
Schiffer told Suffolk Magazine: “Matthew and I bought our Suffolk home just before we got married 23 years ago, and it’s where we held our wedding. Our kids all grew up here, so it has been a home full of memories. We also share it with four dogs, two cats, chickens, tortoises and a few friendly ghosts.”
She added: “All of us have had different experiences with the ghosts, who we believe are all friendly – they make great dinner stories for our guests.
“The house also served as a safe haven for Catholic priests during the Elizabethan purges, so it still boasts escape routes and several priest holes.”
.And Schiffer revealed: “The name of the house, originally cal-led Rookwood Hall, was changed after Queen Elizabeth I visited and was served cold ham.”
“She was so appalled that she christened it ‘Coldham Hall’.”
The Daily Star previously reported that one of Britain’s most haunted houses, once a prison for witches, has sold – and the new owners are already experiencing the paranormal.
Amy Waine, 35 and Jarrad Cutting, 37, bought the property after learning it was for sale from a friend. The pair run social media site Amy’s Crypt, investigating ghosts and other hauntings, and they are hoping to capture spooky moments on film.
Originally from Adelaide, Australia, the couple have travelled the world investigating hauntings for years. So, when a friend told them The Cage – a house infamous for terrifying its occupants – was for sale, they knew they had to buy it.
The house, which is in the pretty village of St Osyth in Essex, has a dark history – famously housing Ursula Kemp, who was accused of witchcraft, ahead of her excursions in 1582.
Ursula was a local midwife and healer, but after a feud with a local family was accused of witchcraft and condemned to death.
