"Boo blooded” ghosts are haunting Britain!

But the Tudor monarch isn’t the only Royal ghoul lurking across the nation as The Star reveals…
Queen Victoria
In 1936 King Edward VIII attempted to have some spruce trees moved at Windsor Castle that had been planted by Queen Victoria and her husband Albert. But the alterations were never carried out as workmen claimed to have seen Victoria’s ghost waving her arms and moaning.
George III
After coming to the throne in the 18th century the king, played by Nigel Hawthorne in The Madness of King George, suffered a mental illness. His ghost has been seen peering from the window of the room at Windsor where he was detained for his own safety.
Henry VIII
Apparitions of the Tudor king have been seen on the battlements of Windsor before passing through a wall. Witnesses have also described him “pacing furiously and shouting loudly” in the corridors.
Anne Boleyn
Henry’s second wife was beheaded at the Tower of London in 1536. Her headless body has since been seen floating around the grounds and also glimpsed at her alleged birthplace, Blickling Hall, Norfolk. She’s said to arrive holding her own head in a carriage pulled by headless horses.

Catherine Howard
Henry’s fifth wife, Catherine Howard, was beheaded in 1542 when she was 19. Her ghost is said to run down the hallway of Hampton Court screaming, repeating the moment she was arrested for adultery.

Murdered in 1327 at Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire – supposedly with a red-hot poker up his bottom – the king’s screams are still heard echoing around its walls. The ghost of his wife, Queen Isabella, who deposed him, may have been snapped with a pet wolf at Castle Rising in Norfolk.
