Overview
- Conservation and research manager Dr Tom Lewis spotted the figure while reviewing camera-trap footage from the Safari Park.
- He said the shape seemed too tall to be a wolf, noting that sightings in the parkland are rare compared with the house.
- The footage comes from Wolf Wood, once an early-1700s geometrically planted grove that housed the 2nd Viscount Weymouth’s menagerie.
- Longleat archivist Emma Challinor said she has not heard of ghost reports in the Safari area, though the estate’s lore features the Grey Lady, Louisa Carteret.
- Local outlets reported the sighting on October 18, emphasizing that it could be a trick of the light and highlighting Ghost Tours scheduled for October 25–November 2.
