Royal Family Linked to Haunted Historic Properties

Glamis Castle, the childhood home of the late Queen Mother, has been named the 'spookiest' place to visit this Halloween, boasting a history of haunting tales, including that of the Tongueless Woman and the Grey Lady, among others. A study revealed that nearly a third of UK homeowners feel scared being alone in their homes, with young people in Edinburgh particularly believing in ghosts. Paranormal historian Richard Felix claims that all royal residences, including Windsor Castle and Anmer Hall, are haunted, with King Charles III and Queen Elizabeth II having witnessed ghostly encounters. Prince William and Kate Middleton reportedly have a ghost of a Catholic priest in Anmer Hall, which they were warned about but seemed unbothered by. The surge of interest in ghost stories and paranormal activity reflects a wider fascination as Halloween approaches, further amplified in areas rich with haunted history like Edinburgh. Despite the chills, experts have suggested mundane explanations for eerie noises that homeowners often attribute to supernatural phenomena.
