The United Kingdom has some of the most haunted sites. National Geographic published an article highlighting some of them and this is one in that series. I encountered many ghosts in England, too, and you can read about them in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," available on Amazon. Here's this week's UK haunting:
Glamis Castle, Angus, Scotland
This idyllic country castle — the childhood home of the Queen Mother — is the source of numerous supernatural legends. There’ve been sightings of countless ghosts, including that of a woman whose tongue was cut off by an earl who wanted to silence her.
The most remarkable story of all, though, concerns the Monster of Glamis (pronounced 'Glarms', by the way). Rumour has it that the heir born to Thomas Bowes-Lyon in 1821 was so unspeakably hideous that he was banished to a secret chamber, never to be seen again. What really happened to the child is a mystery, but subsequent guests — including poet and novelist Sir Walter Scott in 1830 — reported spending an ‘eerie’ night within the castle walls.
