Not spank the monkey but the monkey

Titillated tourists can often hear the saucy spectre laughing while masturbating in Athelhampton Hall in Dorset, near Dorchester. One tourist, dad-of-three John Morrison, 41 from Derby, who took his entire family to the estate, spoke excitedly about the spanking spook. He said "We heard that Martyn the monkey who haunts the house loves to scratch his privates while swinging around. According to the local legend, the unconventional Martyn family did have a pet ape which was free to wander the halls. When she climbed a set of hidden stairs to a secret room, the ape trailed behind, and watched as she took her own life with the door bolted. By the time the family's search of the house and grounds eventually located the room, the ape had starved to death next to her body.
