Tourists are welcomed to find out. The little chapel, or grotto, in the bottom right adds an extra creepy element.

harshakudaravally Posted May 26, 2010 Author Report Posted May 26, 2010 Chillingham CastleChillingham Castle in England is most famous for its ghosts and is marketed as the most haunted castle in Britian. The “star” ghost of castle is the “blue boy” who is sometimes also called the radiant boy. Legend has it that he haunts the Pink Room. Guests of the Pink Room have reported seeing blue flashes of light or a blue halo of light above their bed after a long loud wailing. The hauntings decreased or perhaps ceased after renovation work revealed two bodies, a man and a young boy who were both bricked inside a 10-foot thick wall.
