Berry Pomeroy Castle is known now as
the perfect romantic ruin.
There are stories about Berry Pomeroy
Castle being haunted, they say by one or two woman. They say these stories
often get mixed up as us not knowing whether these two spirits are somehow
related as to being the same spirit.
These stories are: one lady is known to call for help as people
pass by the ruin of the castle. It’s said she persuades people to her tower and
once they go with her to the tower they fall from high up to their death.
Another spirit lady, it’s reported
she wanders around Berry Pomeroy Castle grieving the loss for her child that
she murdered as it was the child she conceived with her own father.
Many believe these ghosts are Lady Margaret
and the other ghost is a lady from the Norman times.
Lady Margaret pomeroy is also known
as the white lady and she haunts the dungeons. Lady Margaret was imprisoned
down in the dungeons by her own sister Lady Eleanor. Eleanor was deeply jealous
of Margaret. She was prettier and younger than Eleanor was. Margaret was locked
up in the dungeons for around two decades before her older sister Eleanor let
her die a slow and painful death by letting her starve.
Reported activity
A young child has spoken to one of
the ghost ladies that haunts the castle.
A few couples have said that the
castle is a totally different atmosphere on a night compared to the day time.
There was another couple visiting
Berry Pomeroy Castle and they opened the main gate for an old fashioned car to
pass in at the gate. There was an oldish lady driving this car and was wearing
a large hat and scarf. When the lady visiting the castle mentioned this to her
husband they both noticed that the car had disappeared.
I've also read in a magazine that a
young mother visited Berry Pomeroy castle with her children and she felt so
uncomfortable being there as if she was waiting for something really bad to
happen. She also experienced going back in time while she was visiting.
