This is one of several blogs of haunted places in the United Kingdom's Isle of Man, that was written by Paul Dale Roberts, Halo Paranormal Investigations’ Esoteric Detective (www.cryptic916.com/) . I also had the pleasure of visiting England 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 UK Haunted Place on the Isle of Man:

CASTLE RUSHEN
It was a short visit, so the only place we saw at the Isle of Man was the medieval Castle Rushen. Castle Rushen is located at the historic capital Castletown. The castle is used as a museum and education center. This castle was built in 1200. It was built for the last Norse King of Man who died in 1266. Robert the Bruce destroyed part of the castle in 1313 during his siege. Sir William de Montacute in 1344 rebuilt the castle and brought the castle back to it’s former glory. One of the reasons why I wanted to visit this castle, because I heard about the mysterious Gray Lady. According to legend, the townsfolk believe she killed her son. She was arrested for murder. She was tried and found guilty. The people of the town hung her. After she was executed, the townsfolk learned that her son had actually died of natural causes. Now the ghost of the Gray Lady is seen walking with her ghostly son on the drawbridge. I heard about the legend of the Gray Lady and was fascinated by the story. Special Note: Castle Rushen served as a prison and executions took place at this castle. Other ghosts seen at this castle have the following names: White Lady, Rose, and the Woman in Black. There is also a mysterious underground room in the castle where a male ghost has been seen lingering. Tourists have named this male spirit Sune, because a United Kingdom ghost hunter claims that he asked the spirit its name and captured a deep male voice saying “Sune”. So it appears that this male ghost has been identified.
