The gardener
denied all knowledge of any work being done and told the Colonel
that all the gardening equipment was safely locked away for
the night.
When they went into the grounds to investigate what might
have happened they spotted the gigantic roller, which took
two men to haul it around, had mysteriously been moved to
the other side of the grounds and padlocked to a gatepost.
The
Cavalier
There have been several reports of smoke or mist issuing from
floors in the house, sometimes in a column, sometimes filling
a room.
At one time a member of the Newstead staff saw what appeared
to be smoke billowing out from a door just along the corridor
from where the scent of the Rose Lady is smelt. Thinking the
room was on fire, she went in and found – nothing!
In the room facing the doorway was a large mirror – and
in that mirror was seen the reflection of a Cavalier, with
his sword and feathered hat.
The Ghost
Tours with staff in costume had not been introduced at that
stage and there were no Cavalier outfits in the house.
