The Castle Rolls

Haunted castles.

12 castles where visitors themselves have raised a ghost story or a haunting in their own words - drawn from publicly available Google reviews. This roll doesn't repeat folklore; it only notes a haunting where a real visitor mentioned one, unprompted.

Northern Ireland - 1

Scotland - 4

Where this list comes from

Every castle here is listed because a real visitor raised a ghost or haunting in a Google review - unprompted, in their own words. We don't rank hauntings or repeat legends off other sites; a castle only appears where a visitor themselves mentioned one, so treat these as visitor lore, not verified history.

Always check before you book

A ghost mention in a review is a bit of colour, not a guarantee of anything - and ghost tours and evening events run on limited dates. Check the castle's own page (linked from every entry) for what's actually on before you travel.
