| Place: The Old Palace | Location: Hatfield, Hertfordshire | Country: United Kingdom | Building Type: Palace |
The Old Palace at Hatfield House is famously associated with Queen Elizabeth I, who spent much of her childhood there. Her ghost is said to walk the Great Hall, particularly near the fireplace where she learned of her accession to the throne. Staff have reported icy cold spots, the rustle of silk gowns, and the sudden scent of lavender her favorite perfume lingering in the air even when the palace is empty.
