Hampton Court Express

 Hampton Castle, once a royal residence, is located

just 16 km from London. It was built in 1525 by one

of the toughest kings, the murderer Henry VIII.

Pregnant women that were tortured and executed by

his order often visit the castle. In one of the halls of

Hampton there is a portrait of Anna Boleyn, the

second wife of a cruel monarch, who was beheaded on

his orders. Eyewitnesses noticed that if a full moon

shines on the anniversary of the execution day, the

image disappears from the canvas, and throughout

the castle women's cries and moaning are heard.

 But not only the second, but also the fourth wife of

Henry VIII, Catherine Howard, whose life also ended
on the scaffold, still visits Castle Hampton. Her ghost

is seen at the castle chapel, where she runs swiftly.
Having reached the doors, the ghost screams and

disappears.
