The White Lady is a recurring spectral presence within Eastwell Manor. Described as a graceful, often translucent, female figure clad in a long white or grey gown, she is typically seen gliding silently along corridors, pausing on the main staircase, or standing at windows looking out onto the grounds. Her demeanor is generally perceived as sorrowful or pensive rather than malevolent. Staff, particularly night porters, have nicknamed her the 'Lady in White'. Some legends suggest she could be Eleanor, Duchess of Gloucester (imprisoned for witchcraft in the 15th century, though not directly at Eastwell for long), or a later Countess of Winchilsea, or even a Victorian-era nanny who met a tragic end. She tends to appear during times of change or renovation in the house, as if supervising or expressing a quiet concern.
