List of the best haunted properties published

Better no head at all, rattling chains ? not necessarily, but the soul forever wandering the earth? by all means. That's what fans of everything creepy would like to see this "Halloween" week? ghost! Writes about it Inopressa.Ru with reference to the Daily Telegraph.
The National Heritage Foundation went to meet these people, publishing the "top ten" of historical monuments, where there are ghosts.
Top line ? Blickling Hall (Norfolk), described by the Foundation as "a splendid Jacobite building celebrated for its fine tapestries, its collection of rare books and, by some accounts, the headless ghost of Anne Boleyn."
The second wife of Henry VIII, who was beheaded in 1536, propelled Blickling to the top of the charts with the help of her "neighbors": Sir John Fastolf, a 15th-century knight, whose name Shakespeare borrowed, slightly altered, to call his funny character Falstaff, and Sir Henry Gobart, killed in a duel in 1698 year.
"Yes, yes, three," Blickling manager Jan Brooks says without batting an eyelid.
"One or two of our volunteers also notice something: "Grey Lady", someone will stick out of the wall, then hide again ... However, the house is very old, and something is howling in the pipes every now and then" .
The National Heritage Foundation selected the top 10 haunted monuments based on how often the spirits are mortal, how famous they are, and "whether they have anything unusual."
For example, Anna, according to the stories, comes with her head, which she holds on her knees. She does not come, but arrives in a carriage drawn by a horse, and a headless postilion sits on the horse.
Among houses where ghosts walk along the corridors, ? and Dunster Castle in Somerset, where otherworldly forces do not hesitate to appear even in a souvenir shop. The shopkeepers say that there is a general ominous atmosphere in the store, a "mysterious man in green" appears, and goods fall off the shelves by themselves.
Sheehan Evans, author of Ghosts: Mystery Tales from the National Heritage Foundation, helped select the historical sites for the list.
She claims that at least 200 of the 630 buildings open to the public are haunted.
According to Evans, these ghosts are mostly harmless. "Although," she added, "in some places the Foundation performs exorcisms, I won't deny it. True, this is not advertised."
The most fearless of the Foundation's ghosts? must be Benjamin Disraeli, British Prime Minister of the Victorian era. Nick Phillips, manager of Disraeli's Hughenden Manor in Buckinghamshire, says some visitors saw a Victorian gentleman smiling at them at the bottom of the stairs.
Sheehan Evans' Ghosts is published by the National Heritage Trust.

UK Ministerial Interest List 2022
Introduction
The Ministerial Code sets out in chapter 7 the standards expected of ministers in regard to their personal interests.
The main principle, set out in paragraph 7.1 of the Code, is that "Ministers shall see to it that no conflict arises or may arise between their public duties and their private interests, financial or otherwise." Paragraph 7.2 of the Code clearly states that “each minister is personally responsible for deciding whether and what action is necessary to prevent conflict or perceive conflict, taking into account advice received from their permanent secretary and independent adviser.” in the interest of ministers.
The Ministerial Code provides that, at the time of appointment to each new position, ministers must complete a declaration of all interests that may be considered to give rise to conflict. Additional information on the categories of interests disclosed is contained in the Appendix.
Statements submitted by ministers are considered confidential. This ensures that disclosures are as complete as possible, even when issues are not necessarily relevant. The declaration is first reviewed by the permanent secretary of the department concerned.
Following their consideration and any immediate recommendations they offer, the declaration is submitted to the Independent Ministerial Interest Adviser.
The role of the independent adviser is to advise on the personal affairs of the minister so that he can comply with the principle set out in paragraph 7.1 of the Code. Sections 7.6-7.8 of the Code outline some of the steps that may be recommended to manage retained interests in a manner that does not create a conflict of interest. This may include, for example, disqualifying a minister from taking decisions on a particular issue.
The Ministerial Code requires that a statement of relevant interests be published twice a year. This takes the form of a list of ministerial interests. The list does not include all the interests declared by the minister; it is not a register. Rather, it provides information on those interests, including close relatives, that are or may be perceived to be directly related to the ministerial duties of the minister.
It also contains details of charities for which the minister is a trustee or patron. The list of ministerial interests should be read in conjunction with the parliamentary registers and any relevant information published by the Electoral Commission. One of the functions of the Independent Adviser is to advise on what should be published as directly related to the List.
The list published today captures the position at the end of this process. The Independent Counsel was consulted in preparing the list, carefully reviewed the statements made and ensured that steps were taken, where necessary, to prevent conflicts of interest.
