I worked as security at the castle back in the early 1980s for a brief spell.I was always on night shift with another guard.In the time i was there i never saw anything spooky but i always felt very uneasy near the 2 big officers houses which overlook the harbour.I wasnt the only one who felt that way.Many had mentioned that they felt they was being watched when in that area.It had been said that a workman saw someone at a top window watching him,nothing unusual about that apart from the building had no floors so it was either someone very tall or on a long ladder,i dont know but it was all very strange.

There have been numerous "sightings" of apparitions over the years but Phil worked up there for many years and saw nothing out of the ordinary.
During the renovation of the great tower there were reports of water pouring down the steps during the middle of the night.

Please don't get me started on this one! The castle is a very moody place, lots of different building materials, open windows, broken windows, slate, stone, wood, concrete, flag masts and wires, the list go's on, and they all sing thier own song. It is my firm believe that people bring thier ghosts with them, it is an old castle therefore it must be haunted, so therefore it is. I have never seen anything that I could not explain in the 25 years I spent up there, I believe the paper report said that the film taken at Cannons gate was taken on a phone from the cctv monitor......please! Oh, and by the way, if anyone mentions ' Britians most haunted' I will have to send theboys round!
Water running down the steps of the forebuilding, yes, it did, but what do you expect when you have a broken water pipe?

A sudden chill in the air on a warm day, the thud of footsteps close behind, a whisper on the breeze: I've often thought I was being followed on my treks over Foxhill Down. Now it seems I wasn't mistaken:
But it's ok though, as it turns out not to be a ghost after all, but a Guardian of Time (

Reminds me of the time when my Dad was in hospital. My brother turned up with a black hooded cloak and a scythe.
You should have seen the look on my Dad's face when he came round after the operation to see my brother standing at the foot of his bed.
How we laughed! Happy days.

Its Haunted I was up there once with a group of friends walking down a passage I was a little behind them, when all of a sudden I felt my hair being pulled. I tried screaming but nothing came out I was frozen on the spot I could not move. I felt this force push me against the wall and I was helpless. I then watched a man walk past dressed in army clothing he stopped and turned looked at me and then disapeared. Next thing I was on a heap on floor gasping for breath the others running up to me saying they saw him.
If only everyone could be kind and honest what a better world we would be in.
