The Paranormal at Bodelwyddan Castle
In 1829, during one of the periods of restoration, it was noted in the diary of Sir John Hay Williams that human bones were found near one of the chimneys. Sir John also stated that he had the bones built back into the wall, which means they are still there to this day. Could this be the cause of the paranormal activity at Bodelwyddan Castle? Or is there something else in the Castle’s history, which makes this one of the most haunted buildings in Wales?
There have been many ghostly happenings reported over the past few years. They include:
● A mysterious lady in a flowing dress in the Sculpture Gallery
● Shadowy figures drifting down corridors and through walls
● Unexplained voices, sounds and lights
● Visitors saying that their hair has been pulled

Your Specific Requirements for a Private Booking
We understand that you might not see exactly what you want from your paranormal investigation experience in the options available and might wish to discuss with us your own special requirements. For example, you might like to add a buffet supper to a Ghost Hunt, change the times of a Victorian Séance to 8pm-1am, or add tea and cake to a Ghost Walk. You could have already been on a Ghost Walk so have decided that you’d like to miss that part out of a Ghost Hunt. There is some flexibility for private bookings so please do contact us to discuss your own specific requirements and we will do our best to accommodate them, so that you can have the best paranormal investigation experience at one of Wales’ most haunted castles.

Paranormal Investigation, 15th April 2006.
A participant on the investigation took this picture in the Staircase Hall. A face looks as if it's materialising above the lights.
This image was taken in the Toys and Games Room. There seems to be an anomaly on the wall.
A close up of the image shows what looks like a hooded figure. Or is this just a strange reflection from the metal rail above?
