On this day in 1536 Anne Boleyn stood trial for treason, adultery and incest. Despite Anne having genuine alibis for the times and dates that she was meant to have met with alleged lovers, and indeed one of the supposed lovers being homosexual, she was sentenced to execution for the 19th of May. For most people execution would be the end of their story but today Anne is almost as well known as a ghost as she is as Henry VIII’s second queen. Her ghost has been sighted in the grounds of the tower of London walking outside her apartments and near the spot on tower green where she was executed and also at Hever Castle, Blickling Hall, Salle Church, and Marwell Hall.
The story of the Blickling Hall haunting is particularly interesting as it is said to take the form of a coach being pulled by four headless horses, driven by a headless coachman with Anne sitting in the back - also headless - every year on the 19th of May, the anniversary of her death. Now I believe that ghosts exist; I have no idea what they are though - some sort of trick of the mind, recordings, lost souls, who knows - but if the headless coach really does run and is not just a product of folklore I do wonder how they find their way to the hall without being able to see where they’re going….
