Bloodstains that return however often the boards are changed.

Littledean Hall has been called one of the most haunted houses in England. The English Bicknor history group tells of phantom bloodstains in the dining room from a Civil War killing in 1643. It also tells of a black servant boy in a portrait with Charles Pyrke, now seen on the landing. Visit Dean Wye repeats the boy and the bloodstains.
