Longueville Manor

 


One of the most beautiful hotels on the island, Longville manor has a dark story in its history. In the 16th century, the Lord of Longueville Manor was known for his cruelty. Some sources name him Hostes Nicolle and the cold man had a long-running feud with a neighbour.

On 11th June 1564, the lord killed his neighbor and, as the man lay dying, he swore vengeance upon the lord. The lord was driven mad. Now every year on the 11th of June, the hooves of spectral horses, driven by the murdered man accompanied by death, are heard galloping towards the manor at breakneck speed. They have come to claim the soul of the lord and drag him to hell. The maniacal laughter of the evil lord is heard as the horses race away, back down to hell.

The ghostly manifestation appears every year, dragging the lord to hell as vengeance for the violent murder.
