Thornbury Castle is a castle in Thornbury, South Gloucestershire, England. I stayed in the castle, which is now a luxury bed and breakfast and had several ghostly encounters.
In my room, there was a ghost who lingered and communicated with me, that turned out to be someone known in British history for battles.
On the other side of the Castle was the dining area, reception, and upstairs hallway with many rooms. As we walked down the hallway, one of the doors began swinging by itself after I developed my ghostly headache (which indicates a ghost is present). We checked for breezes and there were no open windows, no air conditioning and nothing that would have caused that- so we confirmed that it was indeed a ghost who made that door move.
To learn about my experience in the Haunted bedroom, read
my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation" by Rob Gutro (On Amazon.com).
ABOUT THORNBURY
It began construction in 1511 as a home for Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham. It is not a true castle (designed to serve as a fortress), but rather an early example of a Tudor country house, with minimal defensive attributes. It is now a grade I listed building. The site was occupied by a manor house in 930. Part of the original plans for a very grand residence were "well advanced"[1] before the duke was beheaded, in 1521, on the orders of his distant cousin Henry VIII, for alleged treason.

ABOUT "GHOSTS OF ENGLAND ON A MEDIUM'S VACATION by Rob Gutro:
What happens when a medium goes on vacation? Can a medium simply switch
off their ability at will? Well…not exactly. Rob Gutro is a
medium/author/paranormal investigator and a scientist who has written 4
books about his encounters with human and animal ghosts and spirits.
In
this book, you will read about his experiences on two separate trips to
the United Kingdom. England’s rich history and many epic battles have
caused an over-abundance of residual emotional energy. Everywhere he
traveled, he had a paranormal experience. He explored royal palaces and
spent the night in haunted castles. He encountered the ghosts of
historical figures including a queen, a prince, and a nobleman; and
several ghosts even shared their pain of death experience with him. On
one occasion, the doppelganger of a loved one provided directions when
he became lost while driving in the countryside due to a malfunctioning
GPS.
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.
