Tutbury Castle’s History and Famous Ghosts

Tutbury Castle is located right in the center of England, just above the Tutbury town. The castle is located on a hill which has wooded slopes around and a deep moat. It is overlooking on a green fertile plain divided by the River Dove.

Several investigations were carried out in the castle and researchers found Roman material. In June 2004, excavators discovered evidence that the site was occupied as early as the Mesolithic period which was 5,000 years ago.

Together with the interesting history of the castle are the ghosts that wander around the property.

One of the famous ghosts is the keeper who is reported wearing a full suit of armour. The ghost, who is described by many as authoritative, has not only been seen but also heard yelling “Get these hence!” while steeping out in John of Gaunt’s Gateway. The apparition was last seen during daylight few years ago by a visitor who initially thought that the ghost is an insane enactor who told him to “get over the fence.” The visitor confirmed that what he had seen was a ghost after he was told that there were no enactors on the place on that day. Similar ghostly apparitions had been also reported by other skeptic visitors.

Mary Queen of Scots also sighted in Tutbury. Mary was suffered much at the place as a captive of Elizabeth 1st. She was seen standing and wearing white clothing at the top of the South Tower by more than 40 men. Recently, she was seen many times between 10:15 p.m. and 11 p.m. and this time she is dressed in black.

The white lady also made appearances in the property and was frequently captured in photo. However, the images seen were only white column of mist.

The girl named Ellie is considered as the most widely experienced and felt ghost at the property. She looks like a five year old child and described as having a pale hair, white and usually laughs.

In the Great Hall area, a little boy has been seen on the stairs wearing a white shirt and visitors who have seen him thought he is a real live boy.

The Frenchman has also several sightings who is around 5ft and 10 inches tall and dressed in a long dark coat and breeches seldom seen in the Great Hall standing. He sometimes rants in French and gives out an evil smell when he is around but can’t be seen.

Television and film production staffs, who want to have ghost photos and ghost videos, often experienced battery drain in their equipment without normal reasons. Some of the rooms are seen having blue lights moving around. On several instances, orbs are captured in cameras.
