White, Grey and Blue Ladies

Women are the ghosts we record most often, and many of them are known only by a color. Berry Pomeroy Castle has a White Lady and a Blue Lady, Rufford Old Hall a Grey Lady, Fyvie and Stirling their Green Ladies, and Raynham Hall the Brown Lady of the famous 1936 photograph. America has its own versions, such as the Lady in Red on the fifth floor of the Mizpah Hotel in Nevada.

Some have real names and documented lives, like Anne Boleyn at the Tower of London or Kate Morgan at the Hotel del Coronado. Many others were given a name and a tragedy long afterward, often a lost love or a cruel husband, and old novels sometimes did the work.
