OK, you say you are up for some ghost hunting, well here are some old English
castles that are suppose to be haunted. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

If we go here, we can actually visit the dungeon. Sound interesting. Gal, are
you with me? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Chillingham Castle

Residents and visitors of the castle's "Pink Room" have reported that, as the
clock struck midnight, terrible cries of a child in pain could be heard echoing
from a passage cut through the 10-foot thick wall into the adjoining tower. As the
cries faded, a halo of light would appear and the figure of a boy dressed in blue
began to approach the four-poster bed. During some refurbishing in later years,
the bones of a young boy and fragments of a blue dress were discovered in the
bedroom wall. The "blue boy" was given a proper burial, though no one ever knew
whom he was.


Chillingham Castle Dungeon and Face of the Iron Maiden

A visit to the dungeon Torture Chamber is not for the faint hearted.
It displays some interesting and gruesome (no longer used!) implements of
punishment, including a stretching rack, a bed of nails, a nailed barrel and a
spiked chair labelled with a warning not to sit on it!

The Iron MaidenThe serene face of the Iron Maiden with its horrible, larger than
life size hinged metal casing for a live body, and the thumb screws, chains, leg
irons, cages, man traps and branding irons cry out of a world long past in this
country, if not elsewhere in the world.

The castle Dungeon, lighted only by a narrow slit in the thick wall, is marked
with the crudely-cut scribbled letters of previous unhappy prisoners. There is a
trap-door in the floor through which can be seen the very genuine bones of a
child in the vault below.

And there are lots more ghosts associated with this castle. Wonder if they would
let us spend the night? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Are you up for it Gal, Ube, Hap, Jurak, anybody? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
