Windsor Castle has almost 1,000 years of history, and has seen countless kings and queens throughout its lifetime.

Surely, it would make sense why a few of those seem to have stuck around after they’re long gone?

Roland Doe was a normal 13-year-old boy, until January 1949. Then, he became the centre of an alleged demonic possession, and endured weeks of exorcisms to free him from the demon.

His case was so shocking, that it inspired William Peter Blatty to write his novel, The Exorcist, which went on to become the blockbuster movie.

But how much of Regan’s ordeal did Roland Doe (now known as Ronald Hunkeler) go through? And how much can we separate fact from fiction?

The Exorcist is an iconic horror movie, which redefined the genre when it burst onto the scene in 1974.

But it’s infamous not only for making audiences around the world faint and vomit. With all the strange goings-on during production, some are convinced that The Exorcist is subject to something more paranormal.

A curse. One which may have killed as many as seven people.

H.M Oxford Prison shut in 1996, closing a chapter in the castle’s history which had lasted for almost a thousand years.

Now part of the prison has been turned into Malmaison Oxford, a boutique hotel, should it come as any surprise that guests are reporting strange paranormal activity in the converted prison cell bedrooms?

Aston Hall in Birmingham is a stately home with a dark past. Rumours about the former owner and man responsible for its construction, Sir Thomas Holte, tell of a mean-spirited man who used violence and terror to keep his staff members in line, with possibly deadly consequences…

So it’s no surprise that Aston Hall is now said to be haunted by multiple ghosts from the time of Sir Thomas Holte.
