Whilst many castles are said to be haunted, Dover castle is quite unique in the number of reports from its visitors that back up this claim. A whole host of ghosts are said to haunt the tunnels and rooms at the castle, and visitors come from afar in the hope of catching one of them on film.

Around the west stairwell of the castle a woman has frequently been seen wearing a long red dress and wandering the halls accompanied by the distinct sound of sobbing. The lower half of a man has also been spotted around the King’s bedroom, as well as crossing the doorway. Though this figure has been seen on numerous occasions, it is not known who he could be and why only his lower half is visible.

Perhaps most famous of all the ghosts of Dover castle is the headless drummer. This drummer is thought to be a fifteen-year-old named Sean who was ambushed whilst carrying a large amount of money, where his head taken off by a sword in the process.

Medium Derek Acorah from the television program Most Haunted supposedly got in contact with Sean and helped him find peace. The drumming has not been heard at all since then.
