Spooky Hampton Court Palace



The ghost of Henry VIII himself is said to haunt the palace, along with Jane Seymour, who has been seen gliding around, dressed in white and carrying a lighted candle.

The shrieks of Catherine Howard being dragged away from the king after being charged with adultery can sometimes be heard in the gallery and a nurse, the Grey Lady, can still be seen working at her spinning wheel in one of the old courtier's houses.

In 2003, however, a ghoul that became known as the "Skeletor" was caught on CCTV cameras opening a fire door near Clock Court with great force on three consecutive days. The ghost was in period dress and appeared each time before security staff could get there.
