Tretower Castle, Tretower 🇬🇧

Sneak into the castle on a dark night and you may feel very uncomfortable… as if you’re being stalked. You may even see the figure of the ghostly “white lady”. She appears in the bed chambers but will follow you anywhere in the castle or the surrounding area. She doesn’t bring harm to people but people are seldom fearless in her presence.

Jamaica Inn, Launceton 🇬🇧

Several ghosts are said to wander within and around the Jamaica Inn’s old interior. Phantom footsteps have been heard plodding along corridors at dead of night. The sound of horses hooves sometimes clatter over the outside courtyard in the early hours. Witnesses, awoken by the phantom hoof beats, part the curtains to investigate and see nothing. The murmur of agitated conversation in some foreign tongue, or forgotten dialect, has also been heard in the darker corners of otherwise empty rooms.

Jamaica Inn, Launceston 🇬🇧

The Inn was used as a temperance house during the early 1900’s but there has always been some kind of unexplained presence throughout the years. On a moonlit night you might hear the sound of horses’ hooves and the metal rims of carriages in the courtyard outside the Inn. Any attempts to find where the sound is coming from will end in disappointment. It has been reported on many occasions that pacing footsteps have been heard in the corridors outside a bedroom, upon investigation not a person was in sight.

Bodiam Castle, Bodiam 🇬🇧

Some people passing the ruins at dead of night have reported the distinctive sound of spectral revels emanating from the hollow shell. Others have told of hearing “strange oaths” and “foreign-sounding songs”. Finally, there is the mysterious shade of a ghostly red lady sometimes seen gazing from one of the towers, her eyes fixed upon some distant object-although what it is, and who she was, nobody knows.

Another mysterious spirit involves a little boy dressed in clothes straight from a Dickens novel. His ghost was seen in 1994 by the castle custodian. He was seen running towards the castle but vanished midway across the bridge, suggesting he may have fallen into the moat and drowned.

Windsor Castle, Windsor 🇬🇧

The ghost of King Henry VIII is said to be Windsor Castle’s most famous haunting.

The second wife of King Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, is also one of the most famous hauntings at Windsor Castle.

Queen Elizabeth I is said to haunt the Royal Library at Windsor Castle, with the sound of her high heels being heard on the bare floorboards before her figure appears and she passes through the library to an inner room.

During his reign King George III suffered from several bouts of mental illness and the troubled soul is said to still haunt the royal residence.

The queen who gave her name to a whole period of British history is said to haunt Windsor Castle because she was unhappy with the alterations that her great-grandson, King Edward VIII, made to the residence.

The ghost of King Charles I has been seen on numerous occasions in the Library and the Canon’s house. Though the King lost his head during the English Civil War, Charles as a ghost is seen whole.
