Haunted Castle Hotels

Chillingham Castle

Guests have experienced violent poltergeist activity with furniture slamming at 2am, physical attacks including night terrors with spirits pulling arms and legs, objects moving on their own, including rails dragging across floors, being touched and hearing whispers, and witnessing apparitions evolving before their eyes during multi-night stays in various rooms, including the Edward Room, Guard Room, and the Lookout.

Malmaison Oxford

Sleep in a converted prison cell inside Oxford Castle, where executions took place for centuries. A guest in Room 212 described a shadowy man by the wardrobe at 3am, and visitors report Empress Matilda in white on the castle stairs.

Lumley Castle Hotel

Guests have witnessed mysterious orbs in bedrooms including a bright red tennis ball-sized light floating across rooms and swirling above sleeping partners, experienced candles flying out of candelabras and hitting wedding guests, showers turning on by themselves at 2 am, unexplained feelings of being watched, and such intense paranormal activity that some visitors have fled their rooms in terror despite being sceptical of ghosts.

Old Wardour Castle

The Wellington Hotel, Boscastle

The Ryde Castle Hotel

Leasowe Castle

An octagonal tower built in 1593 by the Earl of Derby on the Wirral coast, later known as Mockbeggar Hall, with a library said to be haunted.

Dalhousies Castle Hotel and Spa

Guests experienced furniture moving on its own with a large wooden chair relocating approximately one metre while they were at dinner (with visible carpet indentations from its original position), a young child seeing strange cloud shapes in the corner of the room at 4am, and feeling the pressure of invisible footsteps walking across the bed at 5:30am with accompanying sleep paralysis.

Borthwick Castle

A 15th-century tower castle 12 miles south of Edinburgh, where Mary Queen of Scots took refuge in 1567. Visitors report voices, clicking noises and lights, and the Red Room is said to hold the spirits of a murdered mother and child.

Auchen Castle

Ruthin Castle Hotel

Guests have experienced showers turning on by themselves in the middle of the night, spooky occurrences in Room 116, feelings of being watched with strange noises heard throughout the night, unexpected and interesting paranormal activity that convinces even skeptical partners, and eerie experiences that have left multiple families staying at the hotel thoroughly unnerved.

BallyGally Castle

Guests experienced footsteps coming from within their room (not from adjacent rooms), wild temperature fluctuations despite the thermostat being turned off, and a laptop falling off a table in the middle of the night with no explanation.
