Hauntings
Reported sightings of ghosts include that of a soldier on the ramparts, a white lady in a window of the tower, and Mary, Queen of Scots. A number of visitors to the King's Bedroom reported feeling overcome and faint; the room was closed to the public for a while after these reports, but has since been re-opened. The castle now hosts nocturnal ghost hunts on a commercial basis.

Famous quotes containing the word hauntings:
“Thus when I come to shape here at this table between my hands the story of my life and set it before you as a complete thing, I have to recall things gone far, gone deep, sunk into this life or that and become part of it; dreams, too, things surrounding me, and the inmates, those old half-articulate ghosts who keep up their hauntings by day and night ... shadows of people one might have been; unborn selves.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
