Ghosts
...Spooky Haunts & Tales Of The Otherworld
Dating back to the 13th century, it’s no surprise that one of Wales’ largest castles has plenty of legends surrounding it. Perhaps the most famous is its ghosts, which have been spotted by various residents over the centuries. In 1780, an elderly woman staying there claimed a man in a gold-laced suit entered her room and led her through the castle to find a hidden chest and key. Reports of pianos playing by themselves, knocks on doors with no one around, and invisible hands grabbing at you as you walk down stairs are just some of the stories that have given Powis Castle a spooky reputation. The site is run by the National Trust.
