Arundel Castle Norfolk

from http://www.ghost-sighting.co.uk/

Arundel Castle has been the home for the Dukes of Norfolk since the Norman Conquest. It was severely damaged by fire in the seventeenth century but has now been restored to its former glory and is the home to many ghosts and spirits.

There are said to be at least four ghosts at Arundel Castle, one of them being a young boy. This child is thought to have worked in the kitchens about 200 years ago, where it is believed, his master frequently beat him. Due to this, the boy died young and his ghost has been seen one many occasions since, cleaning pots and pans and scurrying around the kitchen.

The ghost of a young woman has also been seen. She is said to be dressed in white has been seen wandering round Hiorne's Tower, particularly on moonlit nights. Is is believed that she committed suicide by throwing herself off the tower due to the loss of her lover.

Another spirit has also been spotted in the library and has become known as the 'Blue Man'. On several occasions he has been seen searching through books and is thought to have been a resident at the castle during the reign of King Charles II.

The fourth and final ghost is that of a small white bird which flutters around the windows of the castle. It has been seen on many occasions, all of which have been followed by the sudden death of a resident of the castle. It is therefore believed to indicate the imminent death of someone connected to the castle.
