In all the interviews I've recorded for this show, nothing has quite matched what one member of staff at Tamworth Castle told me: a full, complete apparition, seen face to face inside the building. In this episode of the Haunted UK Podcast, I sit down with two of Tamworth Castle's own staff, Leigh and Hollie, to explore one of Staffordshire's most historic sites, and the ghost stories that have grown up around it.
Long before the Norman castle that still stands above the town, Tamworth was a seat of power in Anglo-Saxon Mercia. Leigh and Hollie gave me a personal tour of the castle before we sat down to record, then walked me back through it, room by room, once the microphones were on, along with the castle's long-running Black Lady and White Lady legends. Leigh saves the strangest of it for last: two separate sightings, the second a complete, unmistakable apparition unlike anything I've heard in any interview before it.
Hear Leigh and Hollie's full accounts in this episode.
