THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Leasowe Castle is one of England's oldest hotels and has accumulated centuries of ghost stories. Guests and staff have reported apparitions, phantom footsteps, mysterious voices, and doors opening on their own throughout the historic castle. Several spirits are believed to remain connected to the building's long history.
A man and his son were locked away in here; to face an easier death than starvation, the man killed his son, then himself. The pair are seen together in the room in which they perished. Another ghost is said to be someone who started to appear after a fire destroyed one of the buildings. The ghost is said to be seen at waist level on the floor because, when it was rebuilt, the floor was changed to a different level.
