They hand you a lantern. Not a flashlight—a lantern. You feel like you’re in a period drama. Or a horror movie. Maybe both.

Your guide will point out a shadow. “Did you see that?” they whisper. Of course you didn’t. But your brain starts playing tricks on you.
The Famous Sightings
One of the wildest stories involves Henry VIII’s ghost. He’s been seen dragging the leg of his rotting ulcer. Yes, rotting. He was not a healthy man.
Another time, a security guard saw a monk walk through a solid wall. You know, like ghosts do. The guard quit the next day. I would too.
And remember Catherine Howard’s scream? It’s been recorded. On tape. People have analyzed the audio. They can’t explain it. Spooky doesn’t cover it.
