Headless Driver
Nathanial Stephens, a Knight owned this home and
plotted to Kill King Charles I. His daughter,
so upset that her father brought shame to their
family name placed a curse upon him. It seems
the curse worked because shortly after he became
ill and died. After he died he was driven away
in a hearse, the fact that the Nathanial rose up
from his coffin and got into the hearst makes the
occasion special, the fact that it was driven by
a headless man, that then assumed the shape of
King Charles I makes it downright creepy. It is
said from that time on, any time the head of the
family died, Charles would pull up in his hearse
to escort them to the great beyond. The family
line eventually died out.
Other ghosts visit the Chavenage House
from time to time including one who went into the room
where Princess Louise was sleeping. She only studied
her for a few moments before vanishing apparently only
wanting to check her out without doing her any harm.
