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:

‘Chilling’ by name, chilling by nature — this is reputed to be the UK’s most-haunted castle. On the edge of the Cheviot Hills, this stronghold dates back to the 12th century and has seen numerous bloody border battles with Scotland in its near 700-year history. It’s no wonder, then, that a cast of spectres is said to haunt its hallways, including male voices that whisper in the chapel and a ‘white lady’ in the pantry who begs for water. Budding ghost-hunters can even join a tour to catch a glimpse of the spirits for themselves. Keep an eye out for the bat motifs in the chapel windows and on the weathervane, too — it’s the symbol of the Wakefield family, the current owners, whose ancestors have lived in the castle since it was first built.
