Chillingham Castle

Chillingham castle is based in the heart of Northumberland just off the northeast coast of England. Reportedly one of the most haunted castles in Britain.
The castle is owned by Sir Humphrey Wakefield, who has spent many years and is still doing so, restoring the castle back to a close as possible to its original state.
The castle itself was a mere ruin when Sir Humphrey took it over, and he began rebuilding it with a lot of the origin materials that was found amongst the ruins and basically had to go by any old documents found on the place.
The grounds and gardens of the castle are beautifully set out, consisting of flower and herb beds. There is also a lake a few yards down from the castle which can be accessed via a walk in the woods or a direct path. When standing near the lake from a personal point of view there is a feeling of mystery and enchantment.
One of the towers at the castle is apartments where the public can book up for short holiday breaks, though warned they are supposedly haunted.
It is said that there is a "grey lady" and a "blue boy" that roams the castle, he boy was said to have been bricked up in one of the rooms at the castle and the lady Lady Mary Berkeley, searches for her husband, who ran off with her sister. Lady Mary, desolate and broken hearted lived in the castle by herself with only her baby girl as a companion. The rustle of her dress can be heard as she passes you by in the turret stairs.
I have visited the castle on many occasions and have to say it is one of my favourite haunts, pardon the pun !!!
The minstrels gallery certainly has a weird feel to it and it overlooks what is now the cafe, which is also said to have a few ghostly visitors, yet I have also felt the cafe had a nice welcoming feel to it, especially when the have the big wood burning fire going.
Chillingham is very popular for weddings, Halloween and ghost walks and has been featured on various paranormal sites and TV programs. So if your ever in the Northumberland area, Chillingham is well worth a visit, just for the grounds alone
