Summary

Chillingham Castle | Paranormal Podcast We packed our bags and headed back to England for this one — Chillingham Castle in Northumberland, which might just be the most blood-soaked, ghost-saturated piece of real estate in the entire UK, and we went deep on every brutal layer of it. Waaaay more exciting than Leap Castle (looking at you, Producer Ben)From King Edward I using it as his war headquarters to massacre Scottish prisoners and their children, to a torturer named John Sage who apparently had a real passion for the job, to the infamous blue boy spirit. We wrapped it up with three firsthand encounters from people who actually stayed there, including someone who got a little too close to the hanging tree after dark and came back with a story that smells like sulfur and ends with a full sprint back to the apartment.

0:45.3	and notice it. As you get closer to the castle, the sound of the world starts to change. The wind
