ELECTRICAL DISRUPTION IN THE
CASTLE
Highcliffe Castle is spookily situated at the top
of a wooded cliff overlooking the sea.
Flickering lights and other mischievous
behaviours over the years have been
assigned to an invisible poltergeist spirit
lurking within the castle.

SIR ARTHUR
CONAN DOYLE
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,
creator of Sherlock
Holmes, was drawn to
the new Forest because
of his fascination with
spiritualism and the
occult.
Conan Doyle lived in
Brook near Bramshaw
and is now buried in
the Church Yard at
Minstead alongside his
wife.

SPIRITUALISM
Legend has it that
Sway Tower built in the
latter part of the 1870’s
was constructed under
the influence of the
spirit of Sir Christopher
Wren, the architect of
St. Paul’s Cathedral.
Judge Peterson, a
former High Court
Indian judge in
Calcutta, was said to
have been guided by
the famous architect,
who had died over a
150 years previously
via a medium, to build
a tower over 200ft
high in unreinforced
concrete. The tower is
now a listed building
and its eerie presence
can be seen from miles
around through the
forest mists.
