There are reputedly several ghosts that haunt the 17th century manor house East Riddleston Hall, the most famous being the 'Grey Lady'. This woman is thought to be the wife of a previous Lord of the Manor.

According to the now owners of the house, the story goes that the Grey lady's husband came home one day to find her in the arms of another man. He quickly locked his wife in a room and walled up her lover. Eventually, both of them starved to death and it is now thought that when the 'Gray Lady' appears she is looking for her lost love. Its also said that the unfortunate young man appears as a ghostly figure at the window of the bricked-up room where he died. There is a 300 year-old wooden cradle in one of the bedrooms of East Riddleston Hall that is said to rock of its own accord each New Year's Eve. It is rumored that the 'Grey Lady' herself is rocking the cradle.

Another ghost, known as the 'White Lady', has been seen walking around the lake in the grounds of the house. She too once lived at the Hall and supposedly was thrown from her horse whilst hunting. Her body was
never found and it is believed that her horse throw her into the lake where she drowned, and where her ghost is now frequently seen.
There is also the ghost of a phantom coachman, who its believed was dragged into the lake by his team of horses. He has been seen wandering around the water, presumably looking for his lost coach and horses. other ghosts at the hall are reported to being that of a Scottish Merchant murdered by a treacherous steward for his money, and a Blue Lady haunts the grounds of the Hall for an unknown reason.
