The Ghost of Annie
Annie was a servant who lived and worked in the castle. She was arrested for the murder of her young son. She was found guilty and was hanged for the crime, whilst still protesting her innocence. Afterwards they found out that her son died of natural causes. Their ghosts have been seen walking together along the footbridge.
Angry voices have also been heard and another ghost has been seen sleeping in the basement with a sword at his side. It is unknown who he is but he has been seen by a number of visitors including four young boys who signed a statement saying what they saw.
