History of Chillingham Castle (@historyhit):
- Chillingham Castle was a monastery in the 12th Century
- Edward the first, the hammer of the Scots, led his Scottish campaigns from this location
- The first recorded accounts of the ghosts were penned by Lady Leonora Tankerville
- There was an increase in occult spiritualism during Edwardian and Victorian times
- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle commended Lady Tankerville on her reports of the Chillingham ghosts
- The current owner is from the original Gray family owners and has overseen renovations
- Guests still report seeing flashes of blue similar to ghosts sightings of the past
- A priest who traveled to get rid of ghosts said there were too many there
My Experience of Chillingham Castle:
- I went when I was 19 years old in 2002, right out of high school and obsessed with Most Haunted
- Putting this show together was fun because it brought up so much nostalgia
- Paranormal things and ghosts tend to be our entry into the spiritual space
- At that time, I was immersed in books and TV shows with Sylvia Brown and John Edwards
- I joined a paranormal investigation group when the first Most Haunted episode came out
- I was so excited at that time and didn’t know that I was a medium yet
- I validated what the mediums got and went through photos and audio recordings of our outings
- I caught some EVPs from those recordings and overnight ones from my bedside
- My ex husband was from England and we traveled once a year
- We stayed in the tower at Chillingham Castle in the off season and I was so excited
- My memories of this time are piecemeal because it was not a healthy relationship
- Scotland has my heart and I still want to visit there again
- I couldn’t believe how much I missed the mountains when traveling
- My ex-husband and I were the only people there other than the caretaker
- We stayed in the tower, which was used for Scottish prisoners of war
- I was in awe of how much history was there compared to somewhere like Vancouver
- Going to the bathroom in the middle of the night was terrifying in the castle
- The strangest thing that happened was not being able to see the castle on the only road
- The keeper gave us a midnight tour of the torture chamber that scared me
- One paranormal thing that happened was light coming in and a loud popping noise that woke me
- I have heard a voice yelling my name in my ear a couple of times
- A friend’s mom came to me and I saw the Almost Famous poster and her name was Penny
- My friend wasn’t initially receptive and that is part of why I don’t do drive-by readings
- I am still unsure of my belief in earthbound spirits or if they have passed on and choose to visit
- Part of the reason I am undecided is that some teachers I respect believe in them
- We never caught anything definitive in my paranormal investigation years
- Beautiful music or framing it as an angel experience could change your perspective
- Our beliefs are our choices and we have free will
- The more spiritually aware we become, the more we realize we don’t know
- Because of Mavis’ beliefs, I firmly believed earthbound spirits didn’t exist a couple years ago
- I think there are reasons for mysteries, including the opportunity to expand our beliefs
- Some Spirit School Collective members share their experiences with haunted places
- Being stuck on specific beliefs limits our potential for spiritual growth and expansion
- I saw a full apparition of a little boy by my husband’s side of the bed when I was pregnant
- I lost that pregnancy and learned through a medium that it was my child that I saw
- Before my trauma informed training I would negate people’s lived experiences
- I like to straddle both sides of the conversation without imposing my beliefs
- Each of us having our own truth does not make it the capital T truth
- I believe there is a divine reason for us to be divided in spiritual beliefs
