Castles have always been a favorite habitat for spirits and ghosts. But there is a sense in this, because only in castles there were so many bloody events: either relatives will not divide the inheritance, then the unwanted must be removed, then the wife who is unloved from the world should be killed. Of course, according to the laws of the genre, they would then not mind returning as a ghost in order to avenge their death. So, in which castles can you find a ghost.
Edinburgh Castle, Scotland
This massive structure was erected at the beginning of the 12th century, but now the owners are ghosts there, visitors can see them both inside and outside the castle walls. For example, there you can meet the ghost of a piper, who once wandered in the dungeons of the castle (it is not known what he did there!), And then got lost and died of hunger.
Also, the ghost of a headless soldier lives there, who, in case of danger, begins to beat drums. It is believed that this soldier was very vigilant during his lifetime and warned in time about the offensive of Oliver Cromwell's troops.

Chillingham Castle, UK
The castle was erected with a specific purpose - it was supposed to serve as protection from the raids of the Scots, there were often battles near the castle, and the souls of the dead still wander nearby. However, there are ghosts in the castle itself. It is known that a shining boy often appears in the Pink Room.
His remains were found in one of the castle walls during restoration. Once this poor kid was immured alive. The ghost of Lady Mary Berkeley can be seen in the Gray Room. In this room hangs her portrait, which she sometimes leaves. The lady died after learning that her husband was unfaithful.
Glamis, Scotland
Elizabeth I lived in this castle as a child. And it is also full of ghosts. The main one here is considered the Gray Lady (once it was Janet Douglas). The lady was a member of the royal family, her brother was the stepfather of King James V. After the death of his brother, Jacob burned Janet at the stake. The spirit of Count Beardy still lives in the castle. And the story here is more romantic than tragic. The count was an avid gambler, and one day he lost a game to the devil. You can also meet the Ogilvy family, who died a terrible death: they were walled up in a secret room without food and water.
Warwick Castle, England
The castle was built in the 11th century by William the Conqueror, and the ghost of Sir Fulk Greville lives in one of the castle towers. Once a man was killed by his servant, it was in 1628. A portrait of the victim hangs in the tower, and every evening he leaves the cramped frame to wander the halls of the castle.
