Chillingham Castle, Northumberland, England
Eight people from the Earl Grey family, who ruled this 12th-century stronghold in Northumberland for centuries, are known to have been executed – some were hung, drawn and quartered before their heads were impaled on the city gates. Stay in one of the castle’s self-catering apartments to see if you can spot one of their gruesome spectres.
Join a ghost tour around the medieval castle to venture deep into the castle’s dungeons and torture chambers where tales of the Blue Boy, wandering Lady Mary and a tortured child will be divulged. Or dare to enlist on one of Chillingham’s chilling overnight vigils.
