Summary
Chillingham Castle is a castle that was built in the 12th century and resides in Northumberland, England in a village named Chillingham from which it takes its name. It was initially built as a monastery and then was used as a stronghold mostly for defense rather than offense through the many centuries of fighting between England and Scotland. The Castle sits near the border between Scotland and England and so it was often under attack. Much of the Castle as it is seen today is the way it was originally built with a few additions. It is reportedly one of the more haunted locations in Europe. This haunting energy is not only a result of war, but of the horrific way in which men were imprisoned and killed within the walls of the Castle. Join Denise and Diane as they share the history, tortures and hauntings of this magnificent castle! Moment in Oddity features Coral Castle in Florida and This Day in History commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans.

| 1:25.0 | Actually, you know, we'd wondered if Chillingham Castle was named for a family. |
| 1:29.0 | It's actually named for the village in which it's located. |
| 1:32.0 | I know it's just so funny that it's a haunted location and its name is Chillingham. |
| 1:37.2 | I cracked up when I thought it was kind of a joke or that they had renamed it when I first heard |
| 1:41.4 | the name when our listener suggested it to us. |
| 1:44.4 | And the other thing that strikes me as a little peculiar, I guess, is the fact that we had never |
| 1:49.5 | heard of it because it actually pops up on some of the most haunted sites in Europe lists quite a bit. |
| 1:55.0 | Oh really? That is bizarre, especially since almost everything we'd look at is reported to be one of the most haunted. |
