Chillingham Castle is considered Britain’s most haunted.

The Blue Boy

The Radiant Boy is a glowing blue apparition that appears at midnight in the Pink Room, where his cries are heard. Bones were found bricked up in the wall during renovations.

Lady Mary Berkeley

The White Lady, wife of Lord Grey, searches the castle eternally after he abandoned her for her sister. The rustling of her dress is heard as she wanders.

John Sage

The torturer, Edward I’s favorite executioner, killed thousands in the dungeons, and his victims never left. The dungeon remains terrifying to this day.

The Torture Chamber

Original equipment remains on display in this room with a heavy atmosphere. Screams are heard, and evil lingers in this space.

The Grounds

Outside activity includes figures seen in the courtyard, phantom coaches arriving, and ghostly funerals, all recorded by numerous guests over the years.

Today

The castle is privately owned and open for tours with overnight stays possible. Paranormal events are regularly hosted, and the location remains very active.
