Abandoned Mansions That Cost Outrageous Amounts Of Money

#1  Hook End Manor in Oxfordshire, the UK

Morrissey asserted that a monk’s spirit came to him while he was a guest at the manor. The phantom would make an appearance in the early morning hours as if to remind folks to pray. According to rumors, David Gilmour abandoned the property because his wife Ginger, who was terrified of the spooky happenings, wouldn’t stay there.

At the manor, tragedy struck when Horn’s wife Jill Sinclair was unknowingly shot by their son Aaron as he was practicing with an air weapon and was unaware that his mother was close. Sinclair went into a coma and never fully came out of it. Following the incident, Horn made the decision to sell, and producer Mark White purchased the home in 2009 for $15 million (£11 million).

White made investments in the studio but left the house unattended for a long time. The Manor’s decaying interiors were photographed by Trevor Bishenden, alias TrevBish Photography, last year when it was apparent that it had been abandoned totally due to increasing humidity and wallpaper that was coming off the walls. Fortunately, Hook End has since received a fresh lease on life and is currently being saved from certain doom.

#4  Ireland’s Loftus Hall in County Wexford

While the reasons for some vacant homes’ abandonment are unclear, Loftus Hall’s situation is less mysterious. The creepy manor, which is thought to be Ireland’s most haunted home, is situated on Hook Head, overlooking the Three Sisters estuary in County Wexford. The haunted estate, which dates back to the 12th century, served as the setting for the 2017 Hollywood horror film The Lodgers, which might be enough to deter some prospective homebuyers.

The estate, which is 23,454 square feet in size and was initially constructed by the Norman Knight Raymond Les Gros, was abandoned some time ago, maybe as a result of its eerie mysteries. In April 2021, former Wexford Lord Mayor George Lawlor went on the radio to discuss the eerie history of the place on the Q102 breakfast show.

A black visitor rode up to Loftus Hall during a particularly bad storm, according to folklore, after his ship crashed into some nearby rocks. He stayed with the Tottenham family for a few days before they realized one night that their house visitor had a cloven hoof. At the time, the Tottenham family was the building’s owner.

The guy entered the roof and vanished through it in a flash of flames when he discovered he was rumbling. The distressing occurrence is claimed to have driven the family’s youngest child insane. What a Halloween-appropriate display!
