I’ve visited Speke twice and was given a private tour by Roy Boardman who at the time was the curator. I am indeed thankful to Roy for taking the time during the Christmas season to show me this wonderful place. I remember him telling me about the girl throwing the baby out the window from the upper floor,etc. Anyway….as a Norris I was indeed captivated by this place and hold it in great reverence, and maybe someday I might spend a night or weekend eh? heh.

Actually the women is supposingly to be named Mary Beauclerk who married the a Lord Sydney Beauclerk who liked to gamble, after this he lost all their money and Mary suffered from mania after this news and threw her new born out of the window into the moat. With guilt of her actions she went into the kitchens and found a blade and killed herself. The witnesses have been in the window of the bedroom which is now known as the Tapestry room where she threw her infant out of.

I live in the states and last night on a ghost hunter show they did a segment on this mansion and spent the night there. There were 6 people. It was all caught on camera and one of the scariest things I have ever seen! The one gentleman did alof of research and said he found proof that Mary did not throw the baby out the window and the baby lived to be 63 years old. I would love to visit there sometime! Only in the daytime though…They caught tons of EVP’s and door knobs were moving, doors were slamming on their own and the guy had a block of wood thrown at his head out of no where…very active place!

my uncle used to work at the factory that backed onto the grounds of speke hall.one time when he wa coming to the end of his nite shift there,my uncle and his mate went outside for a quick ciggie,he said the in the dawn light,him and his mate saw a man dressed in cavalier uniform,with no head riding a horse across the front lawn of speke hall towards the house.he said you could see through both the man and the horse.my uncle isnt one to believe in ghosts,but this one time he said there is no explination for what they both saw.has anyone else heard a story about a headless-horseman? or if someone from around that ‘cavalier’ period who was connected to the house was beheaded?

I have just read all of the comments and stories. I remember the story of the woman throwing her baby out of the window when I was little (going back nearly 40 years). Maybe if’s folklore – who knows. When I was at school some of my classmates wrote into a magazine and spent the night there – nothing happened. I have heard (and believe) far more scarier stories from the house next door to my mum!
