There can be few buildings in Britain with more ghosts than Chillingham Castle - at least two of which, the Radiant Boy and the Grey Lady, are based on historic facts.

The Radiant Boy is said to come from the fireplace in the Pink Bedroom at the castle, often in a blue flash which people mistake for an electrical fault. Years ago, when the fireplace was being enlarged, the bones of a young boy were discovered there.

The Grey Lady is said to be the ghost of the wife of Lord Grey. He ran away with her sister and in despair she killed herself. Her ghost is believed to still walk the castle corridors looking for her husband's return.
