Green Lady

Whew! What a name from the past!
Buntingsdale Hall was still on the RAF Tern Hill Guardroom’s Key Board/List up to its closure in 1976. It was situated directly across the A41 from the main Tern Hill site, and on the road from the Tern Hill O/AMQ’s to Market Drayton.
I was one of the last personnel posted there, straight from my Mechanics Course in 1975.
I remember being told that the place used to have security (blister) checks carried out by the MOD-Plods who used to regularly report seeing “The Green Lady” on the stairs.
When the building was in use, it was apparently sumptuously furnished, and had a large portrait of a former female resident on the Stairs, which, on moonlit nights, would have light reflected onto it from the pond below. The old glass in the large staircase window adding a green glow.
Spooky!
Is it still standing? Used?
