England - Sunderland - Hylton Castle - The 'Cauld Lad' was a 12 year old boy who was killed by Baron Robert Hylton when he was caught napping in hay. He was stabbed with a pitchfork and then be-headed. He then buried him in the pond. Therefore, when you spot the Cauld Lad, he is either all there, or he carries his head in is hands. It is said that blood can be seen where the Cauld Lad has wandered recently. He would terrify any owners when they had parties. His best trick was removing his head in front of them! He is said to wander up and down the old Hylton Castle Road. He sings of the time he was killed, keeping people awake. He was said to tidy the kitchen after all other servants had gone to bed, so they started to leave the kitchen spotless, to which he would just rearrange it. He would also torture the cats by tieing their tails together. There is also a curse to Hylton Castle:
"Woe woe to Hylton line, Woe be yours forever more, Ne'er in warfare shall you shine, But oft in murderspill your gore. Fallen strangers take your lands, You'll be strangers o'er the sea, For with blood you've stained your hands, Now with peace and wealth shall flee. Hylton's line dishonored falls, Your course of crime the should appalls, Your strong walls shall broken lie, From their deep holes the owlets cry, Ghosts and harpies walk your grounds, Making dismal cries and sounds. Now the house inglorious falls; Strike to earth her ancient walls; Brave the heart that now shall dare, Make his habitation there. Ghosts and goblins dance around, peace no more shall there abound."
It used to be open to the public, but due to safety hazards, closed down about 6 or 7 years ago. There is a steep spiral staircase with a room off to the left half way up. This is the room that the servants were said to be locked in. There is an old, cold, stone room that has an awful feeling of sadness. Also, on top of the castle there are various figurines. All stonecarved and of various devils, goblins etc. It is said that the Cauld Lad often sits up there with the figurines, watching the world go by.

England - Thetford - The Bell Hotel - The bell is a 5 star hotel which dates back to the 1500s.It is built of wattle and dawb and (in room 12) the wall is exposed but protected by a glass frame. In 1997 a paranormal group investigated the alleged activity in room 12. It is alleged that the spirit of ''Betty Radcliffe haunts the room and when she is about to appear people can see fingerprints on the inside of the glass frame. Betty Radcliffe was the owner of the coaching inn in 1564. She is alleged to have thrown herself from the window to the cobbles below after being jilted by her lover. However, another story tells Betty was murdered by her lover then thrown from the window. Two psychics in the group actually made contact with a lady but this was not Betty. She was a lady named Mary. Mary told the psychics she had been murdered in the room by HER lover but that she had been strangled and left on the bed. Several photos were taken and, in one pic show a light source emanating from the ceiling while the light, which can be seen in the photo, was out.

In another photo two psychics are 'talking' to the lady and there is a orb on the wall behind them.
