Lanyon (pronounced
"Lanine") House in Gwinear also had a
sealed chamber.
One one occasion,
two maidservants, out of curiosity, took up some
floorboards in the room above and let down a candle
on a string. The haunted room was seen to be half
full of feathers for which no one had an explanation.
In some cases,
merely locking the door against a spirit was deemed
insufficient, and there are people who have seen a
doorway built up with masonry in order to prevent the
escape of some unusually turbulent ghost.
