4Dragsholm Castle

Dragsholm Castle in Denmark is said to have its share of ghostly activity. The castle was built in the 12th century by the Bishop of Roskilde. By the 16th century, it was used as a prison for nobles, many of which died there. Most of the paranormal activity at Dragsholm Castle centers around three particular ghosts.

Visitors have claimed to see the Earl of Bothwell riding through the courtyard with his six horses and carriage. The White Lady is also frequently sighted. She is believed to be the ghost of a girl who fell in love with a commoner, and when her father found out, he walled her up in the tower and left her to die. Construction workers actually found a skeleton in a white dress.

The Gray Lady also haunts the castle, although she is not seen as frequently as the others. She is believed to be the ghost of a young serving girl. If you’re planning a trip to this part of Denmark, consider getting accommodations at Dragsholm Castle, since it is now a hotel.
