## Resource

The ghosts may be what draw people to Chillingham Castle, but it's the history that keeps them awake at night. Situated near the English-Scottish border, Chillingham Castle has witnessed centuries of warfare, imprisonment, suffering, and death. Stories of the Blue Boy, the castle's infamous torturer John Sage, and other reported hauntings have helped earn it a reputation as one of the most haunted locations in England. For Rob Kirkup, host of the podcast, How Haunted? , every haunted location is more than just a ghost story. Through historical research, eyewitness accounts, paranormal experiences, and tales from those who have encountered the unexplained, he explores the stories that have shaped some of the UK's most notorious haunted sites. Rob discusses the origins of How Haunted? and takes us deep inside Chillingham Castle's dark history. From royal intrigue and border warfare to ghostly legends and modern-day reports of paranormal activity, we explore why this castle continues to capture the imagination of believers, skeptics, and historians alike.
