If you’re going out looking for ghosts in the UK, a medieval castle is a great place to start; and with Warwick Castle’s long and bloody history, you may get more than you bargained for.

Even the Earl of Warwick’s family, the Grevilles, claimed to encounter unexplainable goings-on while the castle was their family home; and even now the castle is a major tourist attraction, the ghostly residents from centuries ago are still making their presence known.

The Morfa Colliery disaster in Wales on the 10th of March, 1890 took the lives of 87 miners, but the death toll could have easily been far higher.

The beautiful George Jarvis School looks exactly like a haunted house should, with its imposing size, Victorian Gothic architecture and, of course, the state of disrepair that comes with being neglected in previous years.

But the paranormal activity reported within the walls of this derelict school may have more to do with the betrayal of the sole benefactor who was responsible for the school…
