The ghosts of Hampton Court Palace 

I don't care what anyone says, I used to work there and I had some weird stuff happen to me. Quite often people make up stories and imagine things but some who don't believe have seen things. Then again some people supposedly see things all the time, other people never see anything. Personally I know the dog and perfume stories to be true because they happened to me. It sounds corny but until something happens to you you may never believe. All I know is that certain rooms at the palace are creep

In July 2017 I was at Hampton Court and walked up and back through the gallery down which Catherine Howard ran. While walking back towards the chapel and two-thirds of the way down I suddenly had a sensation of someone putting their hands on my shoulders and pulling me back. It was very strange.

My father was on guard duty there during the war. He patrolled the long gallery each night. One night he felt a breeze rush past him and he heard the sound of banging on the wall and a woman loudly wailing. The part of the wall he referred to was later found to be a covered doorway to the King's private quarters. My father always stated that his friends must have played a practical joke on him, but his friends denied this and his surviving friends still do to this day.

Been on two night ghost tours as fortunate to live up the road from the Palace. Each time I've experienced something paranormal first time 3 years ago in fact David was the one who took us round.... in The Procession Gallery where I saw a lady in long dress in the corner and no one else did and tonight 3 Feb 2018 after the tour sitting in the Great Hall someone whispered into my war felt the hot breath . Also saw a cowled monk in black. Been going to this palace for over 50 years it has the most incredible feel. I love it

The host has such a great voice!

In 2008, I visited Hampton Court Palace and heard a ghostly moan in an empty room that I believe is in the Georgian section of the palace. At the time I heard the moan, It didn't occur to me that the noise may have been a ghost. I remember looking around the room to see where the noise may have come from but couldn't find anything that could have produced that sound. After visiting the haunted gallery, I began thinking that the sound may have been a ghost.

Brilliant video, and just so happens to be my uncle presenting it. Good job!

I would love to go here but it would be rather chilling knowing that Jane Seymour Anne Boleyn and the Young Katherine Howard once walked among those halls

Well I can certainly attest that once the shadows lengthen and the visitors are gone, Hampton Court can become extremely spooky! Back in the late fifties, from the age of three or four until I was in my twenties I was regularly in and out of the palace, night and day. I went to school there, I was responsible for giving lifts to one of the elderly Grace and Favour ladies and because my father did a lot of work in the palace, we were close friends with the then Palace Superintendent. And I was one of those who saw Sybil Penn one night, on the corner of Tennis Court Lane. I was doing 'last night rounds' with Eric (the Palace Superintendent) and because he was always so caring towards the old ladies, I pointed her out to him, supposing she was one of his charges. He just chuckled and said, "No dear, that's not one of my ladies, that's Mrs. Penn; ignore her." I also got caught one night in Fountain Court, coming back from Lady Ironside's apartment, when a fuse blew and all the lights went out - and I have to say I was scared out of my wits! I've never run so fast in my life!

On april 29th 2014 I visited hampton court when I came to the haunted gallery I saw a shadow where a lady was passing but I checked and I saw no one there so I actually think there is a ghost

Stephen Hawkings theorized that we emit kinetic energy that never dies and that somehow this energy can become a visual image of someone who died long ago.Maybe it also becomes audio which explains the screams heard.I hope that Katherines kinetic energy is responsible for the haunting and her soul went to wherever we go to that is a good place to be.I hate to think of her spending eternity being terrified.

I remember going to Hampton Court Palace about a year ago and recall smelling rose petals and lavender, although I'm not sure if they do it purposely to lead people on to believe that ghosts still wander the Palace.

I went on a school trip when i was a child to hampton court palace and there was a dungeon in the grounds and a man who was the caretaker who opened the door and some people went inside to look in the dungeon. And after the man closed the door me and all of the children there saw 2 glowing red eyes in the window of the dungeon door which moved back and forth. I asked the caretaker is there a light in the dungeon and he said there are no lights in there.

I can see spirits, ever since i was young. I always loved the tudors. So happy to see people roaming around like they never left and never letted go.

We were able to tour the Palace some years ago. Although it was mid-afternoon, there is a strange feeling there. Most museums and palaces are interesting but Hampton Court and the Tower of London seemed different.

In the doorway it looked like a woman, so vivid you can see the detailed shape of the dress and the way the hair is fashioned. I watched it like four times it's so vivid. I would love to see the ghost tours.

i never saw a ghost at hampton court, but i something touched me at warwick castle. my back was up against a wall, and something touched my neck. i had to leave.

I'm from the USA and I LOVE English/UK history! The historical places in the UK are endless and I love it :) (don't get me wrong I still love my country!)

I went to Hampton Court Palace today and i need to say it is haunted!!!!!

Its Amazing. In 1974 as a child I visited Hampton Court and the most strangest experiance, I saw all these people walking about in out of date cloths on. Flared trousers, platform boots and many of the blokes had long hair.

I knew Ann and Katherine Howard haunted the grounds but I didn’t know Jane Seymour did as well

I went there for the first time yesterday. Although nothing happened, it was certainly a very creepy place to be. There was something about it, something in the air that just seemed out of place.

I love Katherine, Catherine, and Jane, they're beautiful, they can haunt me anyday!

David Packer. Beautifully presented. Thankyou.

Omg I'm so jealous, you guys are so lucky. I am in the USA, sooo far away from England. But I want to visit SO BAD. I am obsessed with the Tudors, and I believe in ghosts so.. when the day finally comes that I can visit Hampton Court Palace... Tudor history AND their ghosts.. I have no words. hahahaha

i did work experince there when i was 15. really enjoyed it learnt facts i didnt know about, i also visited some of the rooms that are closed of to the public. i have to admit i did get some creepy feelings in some of the rooms by this i mean the feeling of dread which i felt in the kings apartment.

"Bloated and impotent" ... I wouldn't be throwing those words around so casually in Henry's palace if I were there 😏

now thats a gentlements beard!

I visited this palace last summer and I didn’t feel anything at the said haunted hallway because it was busy. However, when I passed by the stairs going up to Jane Seymour’s room I felt a sense of dread. It gave me the chills. I think they closed this area because it’ll be the most haunted place. The Baroque style apartments had the most hauntings for me. I felt someone was walking behind me. The white dresses on display didn’t help either. It smelled like perfume and flowers in some of the rooms. Even though no one was there or no flowers on display. One of the rooms, I swear I can’t breathe at all. Like someone was chocking me. I was glad to see a stairs leading outside the palace. This palace is definitely haunted because of the history of it.

my uncle is in the company historic royal palaces its really cool

Excellent visuals and atmosphere. Great stories told well. This short video is more satisfying than most of the stuff I saw on The History Channel. Especially the bit about a ghost's captured image on the closed circuit TV. I'd love more videos like this!

I was fortunate to go to England and also visit Hampton Court Palace.. I will have to say that I believe the place is haunted, I did have an experience although it wasn’t Spectre. A friend and myself had to leave the tour to catch a bus and got turned around in the palace. We were standing midway on the staircase trying to side which way to go and said how do we get out of here and the door to the grounds opened up m. She looked at me and I looked at her then we ran out the door and said thank you very much. Those doors do not have motion detectors. I don’t think Henry open the door but someone did. Spooky

@davem732006 My latest task was in Vienna last month, helping to sort out a newly discovered medieval plague pit under the city cathedral. So sad seeing those thousands of bones stacked floor to ceiling in the underground vaults. The silence (and the smell!) was very evocative but the saddest part for me was the number of tiny skulls amongst the debris. We removed them to a better place and then a service was said for the departed.

I love stories like this, especially when told by the people who work there every day.

@ladydigger Maybe your Dad might have heard the Ghost of Katherine Howard - Henry VIII's fifth wife. She screamed in the Long Gallery one the day she was arrested for treason. She's a regular ghost in Hampton Court and in June, she is joined by the ghost of Anne Bolyen who happens to be her cousin.

I would love to go Vist I live in the US but after watching Tudors I'm very interested in seeing these places in person love their history

yesterday I went Hampton court for my school trip

What a grand video!! David is wonderful and so is the palace! Kate Adams directed me to this via her recent newsletter to us, for which I am glad indeed...

Me and my family went yesterday courtesy of Tesco's clubcard bost and it felt eerie, cold dark and damp and im not a believer of Ghosts etc. Something i will never forget and wont be going back there in a hurry. It def must be worse at night imo.

the 2003 cctv camera footage of a robed figure opening and closing the doors is good...I saw this first in our newspaper back then

I wonder if you can take a nighttime ghost tour of Hampton Court

Once at the Tower of London I asked one of the Yeoman Warders who lived there if he'd ever seen anything scary. He said yes, every morning when he woke up next to his wife. I've been to Hampton Court numerous times and on one visit it was almost deserted so I got to walk the Haunted Gallery alone, up and down it several times. The space definitely has a very creepy vibe but unfortunately I didn't see or hear anything. Would love to be allowed to wander around there at night.

"Her date with the headsmens axe" 👌

hearing these stories made me remember my own

I am a psychic and I know Catherine Howard’s ghost still runs down that corridor in a green dress trying to get to Henry and being grabbed by 2 guards by some large doors. Her spirit is not at peace and she does not understand why what happened to her happened. I do say prayers periodically for the peaceful repose of her soul. I visited Hampton Court many times when I was younger. I am also told by the other side that Hampton Court was a place of many whispers and much intrique. The Maze is (or was) my favorite part, 👻😊

So I’m interested... tell me your Hampton court ghost stories guys I wanna know

Very interesting thanks for sharing :)

Some day I will visit Hampton Court Palace! And when I do, I hope I will be able to go on a ghost tour, as I do love hearing the stories!

I would go there at the drop of a hat, but without money, im grounded!!! Happy, am just grounded

Maybe next year we'll rent a room in the palace and have some experiences for ourselves. It must be an amazing place to work/live - much like the Tower.

I have visited Hampton Court on and off for 11 years and in 2014 saw the grey lady. She appeared by coming through a closed door then proceeded to walk towards the river where she vanished into a flash of light.

A few days ago i attened a ghost tour here,very atmospheric and well presented.I didnt personally see anything,but its good for tourism.They lead you round in twilight,we stood outside the fire-doors,allegedly opened by the ghost in 2003,and at the app moment,a member of staff flung them open.You can imagine how some people reacted.Iam open-minded about ghosts,but wasnt convinced.Worth a trip though.

I can tell you now those ghosts are around during day when the visitors are there ,they very much there.😱

Now that WOULD be a Dream come true....wow if those walls could talk....

Brilliant! Thank you....

One of the places we didn't get to visit while our stay in London.

Awesome video, the guy narrating did a good job, not overdone and engaging. I will be Googling Hampton Court now to read up on it.

That was awesome...Kudos to you...You should have you're own show...I'd watch it...

When I was in the famous.long hallway I felt the back of my beck being tickled.

Oh my goodness! I've gotten chills!

Brilliant video interesting and informative your uncle has an lnteresting Job at t'he palace

I can’t believe I went there and walked in the same hallway and stairs

I wonder how these Ghost would react if an Ancestor visited these Palace's?

I finally went this year, January 4, 2017. It was indeed fabulous to to be in the same place where all the history occurred. Additionally, Anthony Trollope set The Three Clerks along the nearby Surbinton stretch of the Thames. Easy to get here from London by train.

That's a really well made video

God I LOVE England! My lionheart. From New Zealand 🇳🇿❤

I’m very passionate about paranormal and ghosts and haunted haunted houses 🏠 and places around around the world 🌎 I’ve believed in ghosts for over 40 years now 4:04pm

Been to Hampton court 3 timed,i never get tired of seeing it😊

Been there, felt despair, and smelled roses

apparently someone saw him at Hampton Court in the 1970s or 1960s, can't remember which decade or the exact year

Damn I just got creep out. Hang on I am checking my delta app for my next trip is London.

I remember seeing the ghost knock the doors open on TV when I lived back in PA. It has since been dismissed as someone dressed up but I can't remember exactly what the event was. It sure had us all abuzz when we first saw it.

@ladydigger Hmmm the long gallery you refer to sounds like the haunted gallary. Do you mean the walkway leading to the chapel?

Wonderful doco

I Have Never Seen A More Frightening, Haunting Experience In My Life

I have a newspaper about 2003 that shows a ghost opened the door! I’m wondering where did, I put?

Nice. I thought you might be near the palace!!!

i went there yesterday. didnt feel anything, but it WAS the middle of the day :) i still believe.

@AnneARcTiCa I'm from the US as well and I studied/interned in England (London) for the summer! It's absolutely amazing and if you're into history the possibilities and things to do are endless! Best time of my life :)

I want to go so badddddd! So interesting!

It always seems that those who don't believe are so dismissive of those of us who do! Almost like we're slightly mad for having such beliefs! It's an unknown quantity,pretty much like god.One can't prove the existence of god & in the same vein no-one has ever definitively proven the existence of ghosts,unless someone can prove otherwise. Surely it's a matter of personal belief! Oh,& I want Mr Packer's job! What a lucky man. HCP is on my list of 'things to do'.

@Bungle2010 , You make a valid point.I am actually a 'reformed catholic' and spent much of my early years following blindly the doctrine of that particular faith.We believed 'cause we were basically told that to not believe was a heinous sin.To even think about such things as 'ghosts' was anathema.I've experienced a number of inexplicable events throughout my life and,perhaps oddly,find it easier to accept these events than the existence of god! Maybe I am,indeed,immoral.

I went here for my honeymoon back in 2002! I just found some pics in my closet last night. You must visit the TOWER OF LONDON before you die. This was my favourite attraction. My last name is Tuter, but people think it's Tudor. I believe Ghost Adventures said this place (it looks like row apartments) with guards outside is the MOST HAUNTED ATTRACTION IN LONDON! I have pics of the Traitors' Gate, Bloody Tower, and 2 other towers that I can't make out (I need a magnifying glass). I also love climbing up stairs-I think climbing churches is the best. Don't forget to Crypts too! I also CONFIRMED something I always asked my parents about since I was 6. Even on my dad's deathbed, I always FELT that he had Irish blood. He said NO along with other family members. So, I got one of those DNA tests to see what it finds regarding my heritage (you should ALL take that test-just for kicks) and I nearly FAINTED at the results! I thought I was half Filipina and half Caucasian. Ummm, I was 49.5% Filipina, Indonesian, Malay, 25.3% Irish, Scottish, Welsh, 23% Scandinavian and 2.2% Mesoamerican, Endean. Hold on-gotta check and don't want to lose my comment....

This is creepy ! I was once in. Castle in Scotland, fraser castle and i cannot explain something that happened. I went into a childs bedroom and i felt really uneasy !! It was like something in there didn’t want me there. I asked my friend if he would stay in here for a night and immediately he said lets get out of here i don’t feel good! He felt unwanted too! It was ver strange! Later i saw a ghost show on TV and they went in that exact room and the got wild electromagnetic readings and a medium said there was a very angry spirit in there! 😖

Wonderful! Are there any reported sightings of Cardinal Wolsey at the Court?

lol that's awesome, I wouldn't even care! I looove to be scared

Volume. Why you no louder?

@ladydigger Wow what an amazing job!! What have you dug up? Ibelieve without a doubt! I had a very good experience with my Grandad it was quite amazing.

I have to go there , and to Hever Castle 😍🇬🇧👑

Wouldn’t it be awesome to be at Hampton Court at night time?!?! I’d be in love!!!!

I wouldn't be able to sleep if I go there. There's another haunted place where reportedly the ghost of Anne Boleyn would be there holding her head as she walks and it's the same place where a ghost of a lion or a bear can be seen.

what was the name of this particular series i would love to get a copy of it

uuu how is he not scared when he is there alone at night

With how much history that happened at Hampton Court, it’d be more surprising if it wasn’t haunted.

I've been here when I was 8 ... Now I'm 40

That ghost didn't know he was on camera, to me it looks so solid so everyone thinks it's a hoax, most times ghosts are caught on video or camera mid morph, it's very rare to catch one fully formed, the one that made me a believer and to this day it's the #1 capture is shadow dude of ghosts of Carmel, Maine. Kent the owner thought it was a guy that broke into his house, fully formed.

So the fire door cctv video is adamently someone dressed in a costume closing them, but the paranormal aspect was it opening with no one visible in any other cctv footage?

At 5:38 minutes into the video the figure is wearing tudor style clothes and I can see the tiles where she is standing including the neckruff of the first Elizabethan era .

I am visiting this place in may with my school...I’m terrified

His voice is very soothing
