A Roman centurion has been seen at several locations on the Girton College Campus, and Peterhouse College can be considered as offically haunted. The senior bursar, Andrew Murison, two butlers, and several students have seen the figure of Francis Dawes, a former student who attended the college in the nineteenth century. In 1998, the college dean, Reverend Graham Ward, admitted there was a ghost at Peterhouse and said he was investigating the possibility of having the presence exorcised.

At Sydney Sussex College, two seperate apparitions have appeared in the south wing of Chapel Court. In 1967, two students witnessed a "floating-plae-yellow head" and in the room diretly over their room, another student observed a "large blue and purple eye" manifest in a corner.

Seven years earlier, the head of Oliver Cromwell was interred in the college, and it has been suggested that that in the source of the haunting. The rest of Cromwell's body haunts Ghost Hill at Murrow in Cambridgeshire

Another cambridgeshire ghost is that of

Sawston Hall (Cambridgeshire, UK):

The ghosts of Queen Mary I (1516-5 and a Lady in Grey are said to haunt this sixteenth-century house in Cambridgeshire, UK.  In 1553, Mary, the daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, was involved in a struggle for the throne of England.  Edward VI, who was dying of tuberculosis, was persuaded by the Duke of Northumberland to give the crown to his daughter-in-law, Lady Jane Grey, who was Henry VIII’s grandniece.  The duke attempted to imprison Mary, but she fled, taking refuge for the night with a family named Huddlestone at their home, Sawston Hall.  Mary escaped, the following day disguised as a milkmaid.  When the duke’s men arrived, they burned the house to the ground.  Mary was duly crowned queen; Lady Jane Grey’s reign had lasted only nine days and she was later beheaded.

The Lady In Grey –

Mary later rebuilt Sawston Hall to thank the Huddlestones, and to this day her ghost may be seen gliding through the house and the gardens.  The Lady in Grey appears in the Tapestry Room, where she knocks three times at the door and then floats across the room.  It is believed that Mary once slept in this room, now also known as Mary’s Room.  Those who have spent the night there report being disturbed by rapping sounds, phantoms and the sound of someone fumbling with the latch.

Here is a picture of Sawston Hall. (CLICK LINK)
