The Haunting of Arundel Castle. This magnificent castle in the heart of West Sussex has been the home of the Dukes of Norfolk since 1580. It was severely damaged by fire in the seventeenth century but now has been restored to its former glory. Not only is Arundel Castle the home of countless priceless works of art, but also it is also though to house several ghosts. The ghost of a young woman dressed in white has been seen wandering around Hiorne’s Tower; particularly on moonlit nights. According to legend, she threw herself off the tower because of a tragic love affair. A ghost has also been seen on several occasions searching through books, and is thought to date back to the time of King Charles II (1660-1685). A kitchen boy of 200 years ago or so is said to have been treated so badly that he died young. His ghost has been seen furiously polishing pots and pans. Another ghost is that of a small white bird, which reputedly flutters around the windows of the castle. It is said to signify the imminent death of someone connected to the castle and was reported to have appeared just before the death of the Duke of Norfolk in 1917.
