THN's Top Five Haunted places: England Part 2

 Today we take a second look at England as a whole for another top five haunted places, what weird and wonderful places will we find this time. Like always I am a skeptic BUT I want to believe I so want there to be something ELSE in this world. Will these (often) tragic places persuade me otherwise?
When or IF this virus ever eases up, or we just have to start to learn to live with it like the flu I would like to a tour of some of these places.

So here we have it another five spooky places to visit in England:

1. Tower of London, London

Constructed by William the Conqueror in 1078 it was lived in by many monarchs for a about 500 years before it was to become the final resting place of many many famous names. Among these names were Anne Boleyn, Sir Walter Raleigh and the infamous Guy Fawkes all spent their last days in this place.

Obvious with all this death and suffering there is now said to many many disturbed spirits haunting the site. Especially since many years later the grounds around would also become the killing grounds for Jack the Ripper!
Some of the ghosts seen are trivial to terrifying, from two ghostly beef-eaters smoking pipes before they vanish to a ghostly monk who's sandals can be heard slapping down corridors. More spookily Henry VI can said to be seen appearing as a wraith form in the room he died in.

If these are real I'd love to go there and see if they could sway me to believing, one day maybe, one day.

2. Berry Pomeroy Castle, Devon

A Tudor mansion built in the 15th century by the Pomeroy family who owned the land since the 11th century. Sold in the mid 1500's due to financial problems, it was then abandoned in the 17th century when the family moved away.
In the 19th century it became a picturesque popular tourist attraction which it still is today, throughout this time many ghostly apparitions have been seen, or spooky noises heard. Now as you know a lot of castles are haunted by some kind of lady, white, green or shadowy. Pomeroy seems to be a rare case of two Lady ghosts, even rarer a blue one!
It appears a blue lady is quite a vicious one story of her luring people to the tower only to make them fall to their deaths, said to be the daughter of a Norman lord who killed her own baby due to it being her fathers child.
The white Lady is your typical story Margaret Pomerory who was supposedly imprisoned by her jealous sister in the dungeons for her being better looking, is said to haunt there. Spooky goings on in this eerie place.

3. Dunster Castle, Somerset

Something has been on the grounds of Dunster castle since the Anglo-Saxon times, then in the Norman times a wooden fort was built on the site. This was quickly upgraded to a stone shell in the 12th century. It was then sold to a family in the 14th century, the De Mohuns, who lived there all the way to the late 20th century!

Now most places have a lady of a certain colour type Dunster Castle however has a green 'man'. In the stables that have been there since 17th century which now houses a shop for the site, many people have seen a green glowing light around the area and also feeling a menacing uncomfortable feeling and mood there.
There are also many other ghosts said to be haunting the site from, a disembodied foot being seen and the spooky ghost of a 7ft tall ghost!

4. Treasurers House, York

There was a house here by the first appointed treasurer on York, though this only now exists as an external wall. Though other parts of the masonry were used in the current 12th century house too. In 1547 the job of treasurer was removed, the house then became residential from then. The house was restored at the end of the 1800s going into the 1900s, which it's been looked after since.
It's spooky goings on are said to be due to the house being built on some old Roman roads leading out of the Roman times York of the time. People have said to have seen up to nine Roman soldiers passing through the house!

5. Theatre Royal, London

Back to London for the last one on todays list, the good old theatre royal, Somewhere i've actually been! Though not for ghost hunting purposes, I watched the Lion King Musical here, was a two for one special with Shrek the musical as a matinee and LK in the evening.
Enough about my time though, lets delve into what makes this one of the most haunted Theatres in the UK and not just the spelling of Theatre in the UK lol...

To start iff there has been a theatre on the site of drury lane for 350+ years, so if ghosts truly do exist well you can bet something haunts these halls. It is like most places home to a ghost of some shade of colour. This one houses a man in grey, wearing a wig, hat and grey cloak many people have seen him passing from one side of the upper circle to the next then on through the wall, in the day time too!

Renovations of the theatre later revealed that the body of a man stabbed a few times and wrapped in a grey cloth was found behind the wall. Though this sounds quite grisly the appearance of the man in grey is supposed to mean a good performing run for the current show in the theatre.

Joseph Grimald is also said to reside within the walls of Drury lane, he was the first (supposedly) incarnation of what all modern clowns now model themselves on. Oddly asked to be buried without his head attached to his shoulders, this has led to some seeing a disembodied clown head floating around. I don't know about you but that would make me shit my pants.

Okay then folks that's five more spoooooooky places to visit should you be travelling around England in the UK, drop a line if you enjoyed this, see you in the next one!
