Clitheroe Castle
Margaret de Lacy's weeping spirit is said to wander the keep at night, with sudden chills reported near the gatehouse.
View on Street View (opens in Google Maps)Clitheroe Castle rises above the Ribble Valley as one of England's smallest Norman keeps — but its atmosphere is anything but minor. Local tradition speaks of Margaret de Lacy, a weeping woman who walks the ancient stonework after dark, her presence tied to sorrow and unfinished business.
Visitors frequently report abrupt temperature drops near the main gatehouse, muffled cries on empty stairwells, and the sense that someone stands just out of sight behind the battlements. Daytime history tours and after-hours investigations alike have made Clitheroe a staple of Lancashire paranormal research.
