Chillingham Castle is often called the most haunted castle in England, and when you hear about the dark history, and the countless ghost stories, you can start to understand why.
With holiday apartments available to rent in the ancient castle, you can also have the chance to spend the night at the site where brutal atrocities occured against the Scots… And it seems like that energy has more than left its mark.
YouTube butchered the upload for the previous version of this story, so hopefully this one works okay!
