On the 3rd of May this year, I was lucky enough to be invited into Tamworth Castle to interview two of their staff members, Lee and Holly.
SteveHOST
Over the course of a few hours, the pair of them completely amazed me.
SteveHOST
Their knowledge of this building, their love for it and the experiences they've had here, some of which are truly incredible paranormal incidents.
SteveHOST
I was also given a personal tour of the castle itself, and I have to say, Tamworth Castle is now one of my most favourite sites the Haunted UK podcast has ever visited.
SteveHOST
So get comfortable and settle in, because this is my interview with Lee and Holly inside Tamworth Castle.
SteveHOST
Today I'm in Tamworth in Staffordshire at one of the Midlands' most historic castles.
SteveHOST
Tamworth Castle stands above the town on a site with a story that reaches much deeper than the stone walls we see today.
Colin Jackson-BrownHOST
That used to freak me out a little bit, that picture, but I was fascinated by it.
Colin Jackson-BrownHOST
I've also been a ghost at Tamworth Castle.
Colin Jackson-BrownHOST
Every year they have Halloween ghost tours there, and I got called in as a stand-in one year because one of the actors that goes and pretends to be a ghost was ill. um so i basically got a phone call about half an hour before and had to uh sword fight with my old scout leader across the battlements while people were having this little talk yeah um we had to you get to find out that there's loads of little secret tunnels all over the castle that the public don't normally get to go in that we were going through um My main job was to stand in one of the rooms in like a medieval costume and do a sort of like Pepper's Ghost thing with like various different glass reflections.
Colin Jackson-BrownHOST
So I was kind of see-through.

Colin Jackson-BrownHOST
Then, of course, the other sort of legacy from Ghostwatch is, like we sort of mentioned a few times earlier, things like Most Haunted.
Colin Jackson-BrownHOST
So, yeah, I said earlier, I've got a story about a most haunted thing.
Colin Jackson-BrownHOST
Again, Tamworth Castle.
Colin Jackson-BrownHOST
The episode in Tamworth Castle of Most Haunted, the whole thing is hinging on the fact that there's this executioner's sword in the Great Hall.
Joanna ArmanGUEST

Tamworth Castle upon Anchor River longing to one of the Ferrars.

Part of Tamworth town standeth in Staffordshire, part in Warwick, but the castle whole without fail in Warwickshire.

Not very far from Stone Priory appeareth the place where King Wulfa's castle or manor place was.
ClaireHOST
But that sounds a lot like another instance of the cloistered using dreams to reach people in charge.
ClaireHOST
I'm thinking of Saint Editha visiting Lord Marmion of Tamworth Castle in a dream and smacking him with a crozier until he restored nuns back to a nearby abbey.
ClaireHOST
They were efficient back before the days of email.
ClaireHOST
And HR.
