about

Lady Dorothy Southworth lived in Salmesbury Hall in Lancashire, England during the seventeenth century. Though her family was staunchly Roman Catholic, Dorothy fell in love with a neighboring gentleman who was a Protestant. Because of the religious conflict between the families, the young lovers could only meet in secret, and eventually they decided to elope. But on the night of their escape, Dorothy’s lover was intercepted and killed by her older brother. Having discovered the affair, Dorothy’s family sent her to a convent abroad where she is said to have become insane with grief and eventually died. Many visitors since have seen her spirit wandering the grounds of the old Southworth homestead, and have heard her weeping near the place where her lover is said to be buried.
