When director Joanna Hogg embarked on her journey to find a location for her atmospheric, vaguely Gothic ghost story "The Eternal Daughter," she was looking for a place that would give her the creeps. So, quite naturally, she began searching on the internet for haunted manors in the United Kingdom. She explained in an interview with RogerEbert.com that she:
"...was Googling houses around the country, and it was very much about finding an image of a building that made me feel a little bit scared. So I looked at Scotland, I looked in Cornwall. I looked at the most haunted houses in the UK. Then I saw an image of Soughton Hall in north Wales, and it just looked frightening, but also very beautiful."
Although Soughton Hall doesn't seem as though it's populated by any actual ghosts, it is haunted by something perhaps more poignantly in line with the narrative of this film: memories.
