The Screaming Queen Catherine was beheaded at the Tower in 1542, aged 19, for adultery and treason. It is claimed that after she was arrested at Hampton Court, the terrified teenager broke free of her guards. She ran along what is now called the Haunted Gallery, screaming out to the King for mercy.

Norfolk
This grand Norfolk residence is home to one of history’s most famous phantoms: Anne Boleyn. Blickling Hall stands on the site of an older medieval manor, which is thought to have been her birthplace.

George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, an innocuous marble floor tile hides more than the building’s foundation. Four oddly matched royals are buried beneath: King Henry VIII, Jane Seymour, King Charles I, and an infant child of Queen Anne.

Execution at the Tower of London On the morning of 13 February 1542, Catherine Howard was beheaded. Her maid, Jane Boleyn, Lady Rochford, followed her to the block. It’s believed Catherine may have been as young as 17 when she died. Catherine Howard is buried in the Chapel of St Peter Ad Vincula at the Tower of London.

Some of Anne’s pieces of jewellery – including her B necklace, A necklace and AB brooch – were passed on to her daughter Elizabeth, while others are thought to have been reclaimed by the crown and sold, or recut and used by Jane Seymour.

In 1536 five members of the Boleyn family had their lives destroyed, or at the very least fundamentally damaged. Anne and George were put to death on trumped up charges of incest, adultery and treason. Thomas and Elizabeth Boleyn lost a daughter and their son and heir.

If you believe in apparitions and ghosts lingering in dwellings after their physical death, then perhaps it would be possible to believe that Hampton Mansion is haunted by previous owners, slaves, and indentured servants. These days, talk of ghosts and supernatural events has been relegated to the fringes of society.

Boxwood Inn Newport News, Virginia 16.9 miles from Hampton, VA. Built as a 21-room private home in 1896, this inn is believed to be haunted by the helpful spirit of Nannie Curtis, wife of the home’s original owner.

Hampton’s history begins fifty years before its ownership by the Ridgely family. Unlike many 18 th century American historic houses, the Mansion does not sit on land initially patented by the people who built it. Instead, it stands as a symbol of achievement for one family over several generations.

At least that’s what his contemporaries believed. Hampton Mansion is about an eight-hour carriage ride from its location in Towson (The Seat of Baltimore County) to Baltimore City, where most people lived and did business.
