The Reluctant Vampire stars reveal 'haunted' filming location – and its Button House connection ...Middle East

News by : (Radio Times) -

The BAFTA-winning star of Am I Being Unreasonable? takes on the role of Val, the youngest member of a vampire family, whose taste for blood is yet to develop.

Tom Davis (King Gary) and Sian Clifford (Fleabag) co-star as parents Victor and Valeeta, whose grand gothic mansion was as spooky in real-life as it appears in the show.

Here's the real – and possibly haunted – location where BBC One and iPlayer's The Reluctant Vampire was filmed.

Where is The Reluctant Vampire filmed?

The history of the building dates back to the mid-1800s, when William Leigh purchased the land and hired architect Charles Hansom to build the mansion.

The funding problems, combined with Leigh's recorded perfectionism, meant that progress on the mansion was slow – and it remained incomplete upon his death, in 1873.

At a press event, executive producer Shane Allen said: "We had to do it there. It's an amazing place.

The one downside of the property was that it made for an unnerving workplace during night shoots, when rumours of a ghosts haunting the property seemed quite plausible.

Co-star Davis recalled using a top floor bathroom on one such late shift, where he received an ominous warning.

"She started talking about this ghost, and then she went, 'Well, I'm just going to go out and meet some friends', and left me upstairs on my own!

Clifford elaborated: "Genuinely, there's a woman that, apparently, walks out of the room where the bathroom is, and then just walks out of the window – like Lady Button in Ghosts... and it is the same time every night."

The daily ritual seemed to be retired after Alison (Charlotte Ritchie) became acquainted with the ghosts and effectively softened their harsher features.

"There was a time, actually, where Ellie May [Sheridan, co-star] and I were on our own, and we did ask to be chaperoned to the toilet," she revealed. "It gets a bit serious when it's pitch black outside and there's no heating... it's definitely got a vibe."

Both shows have relied on a historic property to bring their worlds to life, with Surrey's West Horsley Place doubling for Ghosts' fictional manner Button House.
