This place is almost not England, but not yet Scotland. Because of its border location in the old days, armed clashes and conflicts were constantly arising here, because they built a large castle, as a stronghold and support, where they could relax the tired sentiers.

Over time, closer to the thirteenth century, on the site of the guard post, in essence - the lonely tower, among the shady groves, the present construction began. Then the Calling Castle acquired new owners, notable gentlemen, by the surname Gray.

In the history of the castle, which stands to this day, several kings stayed in it, but he is not famous at all. Of course, here the most real ghosts live. Where are they, if not in an old English castle?

Gray, the first owner, was not the best kinderman on earth. He was cruel, merganly and Zhaden. He tormented, tortured enemies falling into his paws, and sometimes, even sideways of looked acquaintances or neighbors. In general, the type was extremely negative.

Yes, and the subsequent owner of the castle, one way or another related to the warmth of some kind of relationship, were one more disgusting. All of them, as the selection were greedy and evil. Although, there may be some exceptions, but it is not interesting to tell about it.

However, time was going, and the need to fight, defending their frontiers, disappeared by itself, and the hosts became "extorted" the territory. Around the Chillingham broke a luxury garden, put trees and flowers. The castle acquired brilliance and glory of one of the most secular seats of modernity.

The twentieth century for the castle was a turning point, at the very beginning of his castle, having lost the last owner, began to slowly collapse. In the times of the Great Patriotic War, there were a hospital there, and the garden was charged and burned in the furnaces, trying to warm the churricane wounded heroes.

After the war, the castle finally came into decay, the ceiling collapsed him, and only the ubiquitous English pigeons were inhabited inside. And, of course, a couple of real ghosts, attracted to the castle again the close attention of the public.

At the beginning of the eighties, the castle bought Sir Hamphrey, the husband of the last of the genus of Gray. He spent a huge fortune to give him shine and beauty and organized a museum in Chillingham, recreated the situation and the spirit of various eras.

And at night, the dark corridors are roaming not the biased souls of people who have tortured by tyrants. Chilling this time The most "prolific" in the ghost of the castle of England. The ghost of a small boy wanders, alively closed in the wall, along with his father, the executioner sometimes returns to the torture room of the basement, abandoned by him several hundred years ago, and Lady Mary Berkeley suffers from her husband who left her husband, leaving the paintings in one of the rooms.

But the most terrible place The castle is a dungeon, no windows and doors. You can get there only through a narrow Laz in the wall. In this dwarf, a huge number of machines of human bodies with broken hands and legs were discovered.

To date, in the castle of the museum, and anyone who wishes it can visit him. Visit is open, starting with the Easter week and until October. Every day, except Saturday, when a variety of cleaning and prevention work is carried out.
