area in which Charlie would be seen was a weapons storage area which
was bordered on the east side by what we referred to as 'The Queen's
Woods'. Often British 'Ghost' societies would go out at night in the
woods on 'Ghost Hunts' and we were advised of this. However, there was
an old metal guard tower in the Northeast corner of the weapons area
where a guard would always be posted. Anyone coming up the stairs to
the tower would be heard as the stairs creaked". A guard looked up
at a tower window and saw Charlie looking in on him. He jumped up,
grabbed his M-16 and kicked open the heavy iron door. Charlie was
already on the ground (15 feet below) running to the Southeast corner.
He called a response team. When they got there, Charlie was running

- Hylton Castle - The 'Cauld Lad' was a 12
year old boy who was killed by Baron Robert Hylton when he was caught
napping in hay. He was stabbed with a pitchfork and then be-headed. He
then buried him in the pond. Therefore, when you spot the Cauld Lad, he
is either all there, or he carries his head in is hands. It is said
that blood can be seen where the Cauld Lad has wandered recently. He
would terrify any owners when they had parties. His best trick was
removing his head in front of them! He is said to wander up and down
the old Hylton Castle Road. He sings of the time he was killed, keeping
people awake. He was said to tidy the kitchen after all other servants
had gone to bed, so they started to leave the kitchen spotless, to
which he would just rearrange it. He would also torture the cats by
tieing their tails together. There is also a curse to Hylton Castle:
"Woe woe to Hylton line, Woe be yours forever more, Ne'er in warfare
shall you shine, But oft in murderspill your gore. Fallen strangers
take your lands, You'll be strangers o'er the sea, For with blood
you've stained your hands, Now with peace and wealth shall flee.
Hylton's line dishonored falls, Your course of crime the should
appalls, Your strong walls shall broken lie, From their deep holes the
owlets cry, Ghosts and harpies walk your grounds, Making dismal cries
and sounds. Now the house inglorious falls; Strike to earth her ancient
walls; Brave the heart that now shall dare, Make his habitation there.
Ghosts and goblins dance around, peace no more shall there abound."
It used to be open to the public, but due to safety hazards, closed
down about 6 or 7 years ago. There is a steep spiral staircase with a
room off to the left half way up. This is the room that the servants
were said to be locked in. There is an old, cold, stone room that has
an awful feeling of sadness. Also, on top of the castle there are
various figurines. All stonecarved and of various devils, goblins etc.
It is said that the Cauld Lad often sits up there with the figurines,
watching the world go by.
England - Thetford
- The Bell Hotel - The bell is a 5 star
hotel which dates back to the 1500s.It is built of wattle and dawb and
(in room 12) the wall is exposed but protected by a glass frame. In
1997 a paranormal group investigated the alleged activity in room 12.
It is alleged that the spirit of ''Betty Radcliffe haunts the room and
when she is about to appear people can see fingerprints on the inside
of the glass frame. Betty Radcliffe was the owner of the coaching inn
in 1564. She is alleged to have thrown herself from the window to the
cobbles below after being jilted by her lover. However, another story
tells Betty was murdered by her lover then thrown from the window. Two
psychics in the group actually made contact with a lady but this was
not Betty. She was a lady named Mary. Mary told the psychics she had
been murdered in the room by HER lover but that she had been strangled
and left on the bed. Several photos were taken and, in one pic show a
light source emanating from the ceiling while the light, which can be
seen in the photo, was out. Below the light source is an enormous orb
or energy ball. Ectoplasm travels down past a psychic and disappears.
In another photo two psychics are 'talking' to the lady and there is a
orb on the wall behind them.

across Wales. He had heard of Aberglasney and despite the stories of
hauntings in the house he decided to buy it, even when neighbors
reported seeing two corpse candles floating around the house around
that time. After buying the house, sure enough, he discovered the
bodies of two of his maids in the pantry, said to have been killed by
poisonous fumes from the fire. His family also began to hear and see
strange things in the house and decided to move from the Manor. The man
however decided to stay in the Manor. This puzzled the neighbors that
he chose the house over his family, it was as though the house had
possessed him. As the weeks went on, he began going mad. One night he
ran from the house, tripped over, rolled down a hill and hit his head
on a rock. He died instantly. His ghost is said to haunt the woods
surrounding the Manor. There are also reports of a little girl wearing
a Victorian style dress haunting the cellar of the Manor. When the
house got re-built around 1992 one of the builders reported seeing the
ghost of the young girl in the cellar. Even today, tour guides have
reported hearing strange sounds when in the Manor alone.
