    With history of haunting and sightings from a bleeding footprint to Victorian children and their nursemaid have been spotted in and around the grounds of Smithills.. The spirits at Smithills Hall are not just sounds or ghostly mists and shadows as is so often the case. A full and clear reflection of a white haired man in dark clothing is often seen in a mirror in one of the bedrooms. The mirror has a reflection of the interior of a room, seen from a landing, but when the viewer goes to check, there is no one there.

    The Hall also has more than its fair share of footsteps, along landings, crossing the hall and even outside, on the gravel, as well as the sound of a phantom horses galloping by. Things often go missing and a mischievous spirit likes to upend the glasses in one of the museum set pieces.

    Legend has it that the bleeding footprint belonged to one George Marsh, a local Protestant preacher who fell foul of Mary Tudor and her fires. When he was convicted at the court held at the Hall, he stamped his foot and the print remains to this day. It bleeds on the day of his death, although no one has witnessed it in recent time, he man himself is also seen around the house looking quite sad and morose.
