Africa - The Castle of Good Hope

The Castle of Good Hope is the oldest building still in use in South Africa. And the most haunted. For over a century it was the centre of life in the settlement. There was ceremony, glittering balls, and extravagant banquets.

There was also disease and the horror of executions. It is little wonder that it is crammed with apparitions, including those of Pieter Noodt, the most hated of all Cape governors, and the beautiful Lady Ann Barnard who haunts the ballroom.
