Reblogged from Medieval Wanderings:
Nestling deep in the heart of rural Northumberland, Chillingham Castle is a little bit special in many ways. I discovered this uniquely wonderful seat of pure English eccentricity a couple of years ago when we were on holiday, and I hope to return next year and write a post all about its rich and turbulent history. But for now, I fancied writing about castle ghosts to mark All Hallows’ Eve, and you can’t beat Chillingham for a good haunting. In fact, it’s been dubbed the most haunted castle in Britain. So come with me on a very different kind of castle wander: one with a ghost in virtually every room.
Chillingham Castle, home of so many lost souls…
We start in style, in the baronial Great Hall.

It’s so worth going there if you’re ever up that way. It’s the perfect showcase for English eccentricity, and of some of our most turbulent and fascinating history. And, of course, it’s a castle! 😉

Oh yes, I seem to have a vague recollection of that. Something else to do next year while we’re up in Northumberland. 🙂

Great post, I;ve always wanted to go and do a ghost hunt at Chillingham Castle. I used to do it often as a teenager with a group but never got to travel the country. We did all our hunts in Norfolk.
