The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall: Perhaps England’s most famous ghost photograph, taken in 1936 by *Country Life* magazine photographers, shows a robed female figure descending the staircase at Raynham Hall. The “Brown Lady” is believed to be Lady Dorothy Walpole, sister-in-law of the 1st Viscount Townshend, who died in 1726 after being confined for adultery. She is often seen in brown attire, hence her name. Reports date back to the 1830s, including sightings by army officers. The photo, despite attempts to debunk it, remains iconic. The haunting symbolizes betrayal and entrapment, echoing aristocratic scandals and the enduring power of visual evidence in ghost lore.
