Windsor Castle in the United Kingdom is haunted. I've been there and had my own experiences (which you can read about in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation." Back in 2021, the UK's Berkshire Live did a story about reported hauntings, and now you can read about them>
England's Windsor Castle: The ghost kings and queens
Berkshire is said to be the home of many ghosts and ghouls dating back hundreds of years.
From the legendary Herne the Hunter of Windsor Great Park to the mysterious red-headed woman seen driving a ghostly car around Reading, there are a lot of spooks around.
The area is full of grand stately homes and ancient pubs that are all said to be the home of ghosts.
But if there's one place you think you'd be sure to find an eerie spirit, it would be Windsor Castle.
The world-famous building is The Queen's favourite place of residence.
And yes, there are allegedly ghosts, particularly ones of a high-standing.
According to Stuart Hylton's "Little Book of Berkshire" the castle is haunted by a number of former monarchs and their offspring.
The library is said to be haunted by several of the children of Queen Victoria.
None other than Elizabeth I has also been spotted, and it is said George VI had several encounters with her during World War Two.
George III, famous for his bouts of "madness" is said to have been seen muttering to himself, as has Charles I.
One of the most famous Royals of all, Henry VIII has also allegedly been seen on the battlements of the castle before he disappears through a wall.
Charmingly, Henry has also been seen in the cloisters - some of the walks within the castle - dragging the same ulcerated leg that eventually killed him.
His wife Anne Boleyn, who was beheaded, has also been seen at a window in the castle weeping, reports say.
Other ghosts included George Villiers, the "loathed" 1st Duke of Buckingham and an "unidentifed royalist prisoner" seen, unsurprisingly, in the prison room of the Norman tower.
The Little Book of Berkshire is published by the History Press.

You can read about MY encounters with some of England's ghosts in my book "GHOSTS OF ENGLAND ON A MEDIUM'S VACATION by Rob Gutro:
But not all of his encounters were of the human variety: there was also a very special visit from a canine ghost. This book is intended to be more than just a collection of personal ghost stories. In addition to relating my ghostly encounters, he has also included a short narrative history of the places where the experiences occurred. After all, knowing the history of a place is key to understanding why a ghost has decided to stay behind. So, join Rob as he relates his encounters with the ghosts of England. Rob has written 4 other books about the paranormal, two about people (Ghosts and Spirits and Lessons Learned From Talking to the Dead) and 2 about pets (Pets and the Afterlife and Pets and the Afterlife 2). The books are available in paperback and e-book on Amazon.com.
