Chillingham Castle

2.

This building in Northumberland County in the north
of England is the most famous haunted castle in the
United Kingdom. It was built at the end of the 12th
century and for a long time belonged to the Gray
family and their descendants. Today, the castle is
open to the public, and tourists visit it primarily
because of the legends about the ghosts living here.
Most often, the Blue Boy is met here.
According to eyewitnesses, strange sounds and
screams are often heard in the Pink Room of the
castle, and then a blue glow appears, reminiscent of
the silhouette of a boy. In another part of the
building, the former torture room, you can find the
spirit of John Sage, one of the former owners of
Chillingham. They say he strangled his mistress, after
which he was executed within his native walls.
Another former owner of the castle who cannot leave
it in any way is Lady Mary Berkeley. The spirit is said
to emerge from her portrait in the Gray Room.
Legend has it that Lady Mary's husband went to her
sister, leaving his wife to grieve within the walls of the
castle.
