Most Haunted
Chillingham Castle
In the second episode of Most Haunted, Yvette Fielding and her team of ghost hunters tackle a castle, which has the reputation of being one of the most haunted places in Great Britain. One local priest once described the property as "an embodiment of evil. "The castle was built in the 12th Century and was once of the most important and senior stronghold in the region, playing a vital role in the English Civil War between the Parliamentarians and the Royalists. The castle also saw battles between the English and the Scots in the field surrounding it, at this time the castle offered protection for the English and imprisoned the Scottish rebels. The current owner of the castle, Sir Humphrey Wakefield, gave Yvette a tour and filled her in on its haunted history, including the ghost of the Blue Boy. He's said to have been buried alive in the wall in the 'Pink Room', and ever since has been seen as a blue flash of light. Apparently, when some renovation work was carried out at the castle, the builders found a child's bones in the wall at the very spot where these flashes are seen.
