Weird News: Haunted Manor Endangered Without Bail Out
Tuesday, July 5, 2011
The United Kingdom has always been at the forefront of supernatural horror in literature and beyond. A uniquely British dedication to the strange is manifesting itself once again in the recent debate over the fate of Wymering Manor. Reportedly, without major repairs, this "most haunted" locale is structurally endangered.
This is why advocacy groups are beginning a push to save the manor with a combination of contributions from charities and local governments. The nearly thousand year old building is one of the few spectral places in the world that continues to have a fighting chance at immortality. Perhaps there are more than human actors at work. In a land of modern ghostly traditions begun by M.R. James with Ghost Stories of an Antiquary, and continued by powerhouses of otherworldly horror like Reggie Oliver, the haunted may reign forever.
