Chillingham Castle
This building in the north of England is the
most famous haunted castle in the UK. It was
built at the end of the 12th century and for a
long time belonged to the Gray family and their
descendants.
Today, the castle is open to the public and
tourists visit it primarily because of the legends
of ghosts living there. Strange sounds and
screams are often heard in the Rose Room of the
castle, and afterwards appears a blue glowing
figure resembling the silhouette of a boy. Another
former owner of the castle - Lady Mary Berkeley,
whose spirit appears from her portrait in the
Gray Room. Legend has it that Lady Mary's
husband betrayed her, leaving his wife sadly
alone within the walls of the castle.
You can also go down to the underground
dungeon, where prisoners were once held, and
the skeleton of the last of them, a little girl, can
still be seen today.
