Emma's tragic story represents one of history's most unjust murders born of jealousy and false accusations. In the 1750s, Emma and her husband were staying at the Scole Inn when a highwayman also sought refuge there. Without any evidence, Emma's husband became convinced she was having an affair with the outlaw. In a fit of jealous rage, he murdered his innocent wife, creating a tragedy that continues to echo through the centuries. Emma now appears as the White Lady of Scole, most commonly seen on the main staircase where she seems to be eternally searching - perhaps for justice, understanding, or simply peace. Her presence is particularly strong in what is now known as 'Emma's Room' on the first floor, where guests report intense supernatural encounters including bed disturbances and the feeling of a desperate presence trying to communicate.
