Modern Ghost Reports at Chester Castle
A record in The Hawthorn Archive, preserving folklore with its place, type and source context attached.
English Heritage has documented reports of unusual experiences by staff at Chester Castle. These reports are valuable as evidence of contemporary heritage-site ghostlore and of the way historic buildings continue to acquire supernatural reputations.
Recording a report does not demonstrate a supernatural cause. The appropriate archival distinction is between the documented site, the reported experience and subsequent interpretation.
