Chillingham Castle is considered England’s most haunted castle.

The Castle

According to historical records, Chillingham Castle was built in 1246 on the Scottish border, enduring centuries of warfare, torture, and death. The castle is now open to the public.

The Blue Boy

The most famous ghost appears in the Pink Room, where a blue glow surrounds the child’s apparition. During renovations, a child’s bones were found in the wall, yet sightings continue.

John Sage

The torturer worked during the Scottish wars and killed thousands in the dungeon chambers. He was eventually executed himself but still haunts the castle.

The Torture Chamber

The still-preserved chamber contains original equipment and a bloodstained floor. Screams are heard, temperature drops occur, and an overwhelming sense of dread fills the space.
