Chillingham Castle is said to be the most haunted castle in Britain, the most
famous ghost is the ‘Blue Boy’ it’s said as midnight rings he would cry and moan
in agony or fear no one can tell which. The moans could be traced to a spot near
a passage cut through a ten-foot wall. When the bloodcurdling wails die away a
soft halo of light appears around an old four-poster bed. Anyone sleeping there
even today, say they can see the figure of a young boy dressed in blue, and
surrounded by light.
Behind the wall bones of a young boy and fragments of blue clothing were
discovered. Another ghost, said to be 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 little baby girl as a companion.
Visitors to the castle say the rustle of her dress can be heard as she passes by
on the turret stairs. There are also said to be other ghosts at the castle.
