Is Hampton court haunted

Answer 1

Catherine Howard, Henry VIII's fifth wife, is believed to frequent Hampton Court's Haunted Gallery where she was arrested and dragged back screaming to her rooms while under house arrest, accused of committing adultery by her husband. She was executed, at the Tower of London.

Dame Sybil Penn, was the nurse of Prince Edward and she also nursed Elizabeth I through small pox at Hampton Court; and in 1562 she contracted small pox and died, shortly afterwards.

In 1829 the church at nearby Hampton was rebuilt, and her tomb was moved to the newly built church. Immediately after her tomb was moved, strange noises like those of someone working a spinning wheel were heard through a wall at Hampton Court. A search revealed a previously unknown chamber containing ... an antique spinning wheel. To this day, Dame Sybil has reputedly haunted several parts of the palace including the state apartments and Clock Court.

In October 2003, for three consecutive days, palace security staff were called to close one particular fire door near the palace's Introductory Exhibition. On the first day, the CCTV security camera, near the same fire door, showed the doors flying wide open with great force. On the second day, the CCTV security camera footage showed the doors opening, again but this time a ghostly-looking figure in period dress suddenly appeared on the screen and then closed the doors. The doors opened again on the third day but there was no further sign of the ghostly doorkeeper.

The ghostly figure has been given the nickname, 'Skeletor'.
