PARANORMAL & SUPERNATURAL. A 239-year-old manuscript account of a "visitation" from a ghost at Seighford Hall, Staffordshire, in the early hours of Tuesday 29 March 1785, together with an accompanying witness statement, and correspondence concerning the apparition, addressed to Rev. Townson of Malpas, Cheshire. "Mr. [Francis] Eld junior of Seighford [Hall] having walked from Newport (in Shropshire) found himself fatigued, and in such a case is not apt to sleep. His wife being lately brought to bed, he lay in a room by himself, with a fire in it. Within this room was a Smaller [presumably a type of cot], in which lay a little daughter of his, whom in the night he heard crying. He called and spoke to her, and the child became pacified. Presently after he felt as it were a puff of air pass across his face, saw a sort of cloud or vapour, and heard a voice out of it, 'My child, be not grieved, I am dead, but happy.' This he knew to be the voice of his mother [Catherine Elde], and was a good deal terrified. While he was reflecting on the incident, he heard his little girl cry again, and supposed she might have been disturbed by the appearance which he had seen. He sat up in bed, and spoke to her again, but perceived that she had not seen or heard anything of the sort. While in this posture he once more saw the cloud in the form of a little woman with a resemblance of his mother, and heard the same words repeated to him." Being able to "bear it no longer", Mr. Eld visits his wife's apartment and relates the story to her, but she is "so terrified" that he stops and leaves the room. At this point, Mr. Eld is unaware that his mother has died [she is residing at Pit Place in Surrey with her husband John Elde of Dorking, a notable benefactor of Stafford General Infirmary whose portrait was painted by Thomas Gainsborough]. He spends the remainder of the night walking in the garden & pleasure grounds that his mother used to enjoy while living at Seighford, and spends time in her old bedchamber, but he sees no further apparitions. The following morning, fearing bad news, Mr. Eld orders his servant to accompany him to the Post Office in Stafford where he picks up a letter written by his father's housekeeper at Pit Place, dated Saturday 26 March, in which he learns that his mother is "tolerably well, & had eaten remarkably hearty of a Hare which had been sent to her from Seighford by her son". The letter briefly suppresses his anxiety until he realises that it was composed two days before the haunting. While returning to Seighford, he repeatedly tells his servant that he is "sure" he will "hear some bad news about his mother soon". The following Friday [1 April], Mr. Eld returns anxiously to Stafford and receives a letter informing him that his mother died on the preceding Monday night or Tuesday morning [i.e. 28/29 March], coinciding perfectly with the time of his vision. This realisation causes him to "faint away" in shock. "He [Mr. Eld] attended the Body day & night from the 7th to the 9th when her remains were deposited in their family vault at Seighford. Upon his relating this story to his father [John Elde of Dorking] who attended the funeral, 'His father seemed to be turned into jelly.'" The three manuscripts comprise: a letter from Thomas Whitby of Creswell to Rev. Townson of Malpas, 13 December 1785, seeking Townson's "sentiments on this very uncommon event"; a 2pp. handwritten account of Mr. Eld's experiences with questions in pencil from Rev. Townson in the margins; and a 4pp. handwritten account from Mr. Eld's servant, taken down by Thomas Whitby. In the first letter, Whitby assures Townson of the reliability of the servant, "the man is not a common menial servant but one who rents a small farm in the neighbourhood, & is employed by Mr. Eld to take care of his Woods & Game, & when he comes to Seighford for the Hunting Season this man attends him in his sports, the man is more sensible & intelligent than persons of his situation usually are, vis Bold & Resolute, & so that I think one may venture to depend upon the accuracy of his Relation." While recording his account, Whitby says the servant "had not either then or now any doubt of the truth of what his Master related". Together with an archive of Whitby family papers (in which we discovered the above), 1610-1830. The documents concern Thomas Whitby (junior & senior), John Whitby, and Edward Whitby, and include deeds, indentures, receipts, and invoices relating to Haywood, Shugborough, Colwich, Seighford, and Creswell. The archive includes a document from Granville Earl Gower appointing Thomas Whitby as Deputy Lieutenant of Stafford, signed & sealed by Gower, 1769; numerous receipts for Customary Payments from the Rectory of Creswell, most signed by Edward Whitby (Rector), 1760-1830; numerous canonical documents, including the Bishop of Lichfield ordaining Edward Whitby of Trinity College into the Holy Order of Priesthood, 1780, plus another for the Holy Order of Deacons, 1799; manuscript accounts for Thomas Whitby senior in 5pp., 1610-1613; numerous invoices & receipts for building work; several 17th-century vellum indentures relating to John Crompton and the Church of Creswell; an indenture between John Horne & Elizabeth Crompton, Burton-on-Trent, 1686; an indenture between members of the Nicolls family of Oxford, Liverpool, London and Stafford, 1772, bearing six signatures & wax seals; Translation of Grant in the Manor of Haywood & Shugborough, William Whitmore & Jonas Verdon, 1616; a 20pp. manuscript by Madame Dupré, "Hints given previous to a departure for Paris,1819", giving advice on dining, travelling by coach and sending mail
