In 2016, Caroline de Gier and her three kids moved into a 300-year-old Grade-II listed home near Bruton, Somerset—only to face eerie occurrences days later. 11-year-old Isobel saw a woman screaming at her sister (safe in another room), while 9-year-old Zam claimed the same figure walked through him, draining his joy. Decorations fell off walls, whispers and scraping noises haunted them for years. Later, actor Benedict Cumberbatch lived there. Local Oliver Dowding noted the village has many reputedly haunted houses, but a psychology professor linked the phenomena to the family’s recent divorce stress. Would you stay or leave if this happened to you?
