A
Britain's Haunted(闹鬼的) Castles
Muncaster Castle
Muncaster Castle is haunted by the ghost(鬼) of a mysterious White Lady as well as by Tom who worked in the castle 400 years ago and now likes to play tricks on visitors. Parties of 6-8 people can arrange for an all-night ghost sit in the Tapestry Room. Scientists and researchers also conduct field experiments here and you can participate in one of these yourself with an all- night watch. The castle will be closed from Jan. 1 to Feb.12.
Chillingham Castle
This castle has a wealth of frightening stories to entertain visitors. Ghost tours cost 20 pounds per person and run in the evening all year round. The castle also occasionally has ghost-themed special events such as dinner evenings where a ghost hunter visits and relates some of his experiences in the field.
Tutbury Castle
Tutbury Castle is more of a ruin than a functioning building, having been largely destroyed during the English civil war. Queen Mary of Scots spent much of her imprisonment here and her ghost has been spotted on several occasions. Tutbury is only open to the public from Easter until September but special arrangements can be made for large parties at other times. The castle also runs ghost hunts which can involve overnight stays in the Great Hall or King's bedroom.
Berre Pomeroy Castle
The Castle in Devon is now no more than an attractive ruin but it is said to be one of the most haunted spots in Britain. Both White and Blue Lady ghosts have been seen in the grounds. The first is believed to be starved to death by a cruel sister, the identity of the other is unknown. The castle is open to the public from March until October but only during the day.
