The Travel channel has put together the most haunted hotels in Wales, and this is one of them! I also had the pleasure of visiting the UK, and you can read about my encounters with the ghosts there in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," available on Amazon. Here's this week's Haunting: Margam Castle
Margam Castle is the only property on this list that doesn’t offer lodging. But bear with us. The Tudor Gothic castle is open to the public, and the building doesn’t just look haunted. The imposing structure has been around since the early 1800s (restored following a major fire in 1977), and contains quite a few ghosts. Former gamekeeper Robert Scott is a regular after being killed by a hunter. The angry poltergeist is often spotted on the main staircase, one of two areas open to visitors. The other area is the entrance hall, although events are also held in the library, dining room and drawing room, and castle tours are sometimes offered. In addition to Scott, there are reports of children in Victorian dress. Sometimes they can be heard laughing and playing. There are also tales of a blacksmith who wanders the castle’s grounds. For those really disappointed about not being able to spend the night, consider renting the entire castle for an evening of ghost hunting as the next best thing. At almost $800 the cost is eye-watering, but you can split the price among a max of 30 people for nine hours of potential frights.
