Armboth House


Armboth House was haunted following the drowning of the households daughter on the night before her wedding day. It is said that bells could be heard, a ghostly dog could be seen swimming in Thirlmere Lake (where she was murdered) and reception meal places laid out by some spirit, all taking place on the anniversary of that fateful night, which just happens to be Halloween.

The house now lies submerged beneath Thirlmere resevoir with several other buildings from the village of Wythburn. The village was lost when Thirlmere was created in October 1894.
