Gunton Park was in the 19th century said to be haunted by a White Lady. The 18th century house was the home of Lord Suffield, of whom Mackenzie Walcott writes in 1861..
'Lord Suffield told Dr Woodward the physician that his servants had informed him that they had heard the cry of the White Lady, the family warning of death; and that he himself startled by a long unearthly shriek, upon which, running to the window, he saw a pale figure, in the deep twilight, glide across the lawn; and that night Lady Suffield died'
Like the White Lady of Hohenzollererns in Germany and a few other English White Ladies, this one was evidently attached to a dynasty rather than a house, and served as a death-warning in the same way as an Irish banshee.
