Cardiff Castle

The 2nd Marquess of Bute haunts this castle (it is said that he walks through the library fireplace, and then passes through a wall into a corridor and then to the room where he died), as does a young woman in a long gown - reports say that she has no face and is known as Sarah, while others add that she is "nun-like" and likes to rearrange items in a stockroom. An employee saw her reflection in a mirror and felt a tap on the shoulder but when she turned back to look, the figure could not be seen. When she turned back to the mirror, Sarah had moved closer, to which the employee told her to get back - and the ghost complied. Another story is that a 3 metre tall giant walks around the park. The driveway is the haunt of a spectral coach and horses which has been both seen and heard; some legends say that when this phantom carriage is heard, a member of the Hastings family is due to due. It is also reported that, at 3.45am, heavy doors open and shut and the lights flicker.

Update 2/7/21: Rachel Griffiths, the Business Support Administrator informs me that, "Unfortunately we have no new reports of Ghost sightings or other phenomena at Cardiff Castle."
