Raby Castle's reported activity

                                                                

It’s been reported many times that the ghost of Charles Neville haunts Raby Castle. It’s said that the baron hall was the room where he plotted up the rising of the north. It’s also been said that Charles can be seen at the castle every single night. Many people have witnessed Charles apparition gliding up the stairs leading up to the baron hall.

Henry Vane the younger haunts the library and sometimes he’s minus his head.  Henry Vane is said to often show himself and he also tries to make a speech as if he’s making his last ever speech. As Henry was about to be executed it’s said that he was speaking so people reckon that he’s playing that final day over and over.

It’s thought that an old woman spirit haunts the corridors and halls of raby castle. People have said this is the spirit of Lady Barnard and she’s absolutely furious and enraged over her son Gilbert. Gilbert married a woman that her and her husband didn’t approve of.

I have also heard a story about a ghost that was experienced at raby castle. An old chamber maid was doing her day to day duties and she heard someone walk into the room that she was in but didn’t look up to see who it was and she felt this person go into the next room that she was going in next and there was no other entrance or exit from that room and when the maid walked into this room there was nobody in the room at all. This woman has always said she knew somebody walked in there but there wasn’t anything there.
