Chillingham Castle is England’s most haunted fortress.

The History

The border fortress was built in the 1200s during the Scottish wars. It housed a torture chamber where prisoners were held and violence was endless.

John Sage

The professional executioner worked for three years and once killed 50 people in one night. He burned children and personified evil itself.

The Blue Boy

The crying child ghost woke guests nightly with blue light seen in their rooms. When bones were found in the wall revealing a child’s skeleton, the activity initially stopped but later resumed.

The Torture Chamber

Original equipment remains on display, including the iron maiden, rack, cage, and barrels, all authentic implements of torture.

Lady Mary Berkeley

After her husband left her, this searching ghost manifests as the rustle of a dress, a cold presence walking the corridors while looking for him.

Paranormal Teams

The castle is the most investigated location in England, with constant activity and overwhelming evidence. It remains open to ghost hunters, and the owner actively participates in investigations.
