The Grey Lady.
Local legend has it that the 'Grey Lady' haunts the Ellowes grounds and School.
Ellowes Hall
One theory put forward by locals is that a lady had drowned in the pool after a coach overturned at the bottom of the Ellowes drive, although no record of this has been found.
Apparitions and ghostly sounds of galloping horses have been reported.
Who was the 'Grey Lady'? There is a similar tale of a 'Grey Lady' that haunts the Dudley Castle grounds.
This story possibly was perpetuated by past owners of the Hall to discourage local folk from trespassing on the estate.
