THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Portchester Castle is associated with several reported apparitions, including a mysterious monk dressed in black who has been seen near the outer walls. Witnesses have also described the sound or apparition of a phantom horseman galloping through the area before vanishing.
A monk in black has been reported outside of the walls, as well as a horseman galloping along. The ghost of the White Lady (believed to be that of Charlotte White) is also seen; Charlotte’s child drowned in the surrounding moat, so her spirit is said to have a negative presence, as if she wants revenge. The church and cemetery also on this premise is said to be haunted by many dark figures who were said to practice sacrificial rituals there.
