- With 500 years of dramatic, often violent history, Hampton Court Palace is commonly regarded as one of Britains most haunted buildings. Here, State Apartment Warder David Packer takes you on a tour of the places within the palace most associated with ghostly goings-on. For information on ghost tours and visiting the palace, go to www.hrp.org.uk
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.
I hope it was a good ghost who pulled you back for your own safety. It sounds you weren't further harmed. You were only pulled back and no more. He might have saved you from walking into any evil spirit.
Did you wear a face nappy?
@@trevorwills3356 You and Richard Madeley 🤣.
@@pinklady7184 they all evil demonic spirts ie satan
@@georgedonnellan36 You mean a face diaper?
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
Lord T. W. Hudson agreed been there today Feb 2018 smelt the perfume also someone whispered in my right ear in the great hall.
Wow that’s freaky!! tell me more guys!
Lord T. W. Hudson it was me~
Katherine Howard damn Katherine, how is the afterlife!?!??? Do you get to hang out with Thomas Culpeper?
@@katherinehoward8329 oh hi Kathrine
The host has such a great voice!
argo12 really interesting guy met him
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
They have a simulated moving shadow there as a fun way to create a spooky atmosphere but it's just projected. But who knows, maybe there is a ghost and maybe the shadow you saw wasn't the simulated one :)
Victoria Hill one of my friends knocked on one of the walls and it knocked back. How do u explain how it happened?
unkn0wnripper123 .....Anything can happen and there is much that we do not understand.
@habeeb mustafa al-aedroos OH MAH GAWD
i hope i don't come to the haunted gallery if i visit hampton court palace when i'm an adult but sadly its corona so i can't but thank god i don't need to see creepy ghosts
Brilliant video, and just so happens to be my uncle presenting it. Good job!
Your uncle is great!
WOWWW!!! Tell your uncle, this video is being watched in Latin America (PERÚ)
This is awesome please thank your uncle
God bless
Wow!! Great job. Loved it. Thank him for me!👌
Your uncle gave a masterful performance! Very gripping and professional…I thoroughly enjoyed it.
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
You are so lucky to live next to this amazing place. If I lived that close to it I’d be visiting all the time too
Hello! Can you please tell me what you exactly experienced? Like can you please describe it all properly? I am really interested to know what happened!! You're really lucky that you live there...
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.
It is likely a ghost sharing his memory with you. Sometimes a clue of his former lifetime.
More like ghost of kathrine howard because it says her ghost haunts that hampton court gallery, that gallery was where the guards held her back when she was trying to speak to Henry
@@pinklady7184 it definatelt has to be kathrine Howard and what happened to her
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
me to 😭
Mee three
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 work there (contract ends next month) but I can tell you that we never put out anything smelly or sweet scented :)
I suspect it was someone's perfume then! :) Eden McCarthy
It very well could have been! But some strange things do happen there :)
I cannot wait to visit again! All going well it should be within a few weeks.
@@edenmccarthy3078 have any of you or staff ever encountered queen anne boleyn or any of the other wives ghosts?
I knew Ann and Katherine Howard haunted the grounds but I didn’t know Jane Seymour did as well
Yes she died its said and described if you see a lad holding a candle in a long white gown that's Jane. All three haunt that Jane on the other hand is sad she wants to find her son Edward. Cathrjne parrs ghost is in sudley Castle where she gave brat to her daughter Mary with her husband thomas seymour, what would like to see is thomas seymlur and kathrine parrs ghost linked arms trying to find their daughter Mary, because both deid when their daughter was young, cathrine snake as her sister in law and thkmas was beheaded
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.
No you didnt

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!
I went to Hampton Court Palace today and i need to say it is haunted!!!!!
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.
tranurse I would too!!
It was a great choice to leave, because you don't know what they will do to you.
Ive been to Warwick castle a few times... and i never felt or even someone watching me
Ann Fitzgerald I was standing in the dungeon, as part of a group. I was in the back, standing by the wall. No one was behind me, that was what I meant
Sakshi Sharma I figure it’s the living you need to worry about
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'd sooner believe the ghosts were demons trying to give people the impression that there is no heaven/peace after death by pretending to be well known tragic figures than the baseless kinetic energy nonsense he tried to scientifically justify that which defies science for his own security since if he could not materialistically explain something he couldn't stand it. Either way there's no way dead people are actually withheld from moving on, particularly for someone so wrongfully killed as Catharine Howard.
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.
kids see things like this. because their minds are still open.
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.
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.
@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.
now thats a gentlements beard!
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.
A woman with white powder colored face. Queen elizabeth l perhaps? So cool
Meee~ if she was running
It Definitely looks like a woman
@@katherinehoward8329 I've seen you before 💀 you're a SIX fan
But was it a ghost?
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.
I would go there at the drop of a hat, but without money, im grounded!!! Happy, am just grounded
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
beautiful woman with a beautiful smile i love your post are you doing today how is weather over there right now
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 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
So I’m interested... tell me your Hampton court ghost stories guys I wanna know
"Bloated and impotent" ... I wouldn't be throwing those words around so casually in Henry's palace if I were there 😏
That dude was evil and crazy. He went straight to hell
@@adventureswithcrystal yes, he was. Probably due to brain damage after a jousting accident. His personality changed dramatically.
@@lorihogue5015 he was nasty before that look how he treated Katherine of Aragon and Mary their daughter , and dare I mention Wolsey !
I love Katherine, Catherine, and Jane, they're beautiful, they can haunt me anyday!
Your choice,
@@katherinehoward8329 how is the afterlife?🤔
ricardo ernesto mendoza quintero quite nice I go down to hell sometimes to laugh in Culpepper and Henry’s faces
Katherine Howard wait that sounds fun 😳
Lovely it is quite nice cause I also see Anne’s father you know the one who practically sold her to Henry?
I wonder if you can take a nighttime ghost tour of Hampton Court
Rachel Lesch you can between December and March each year
my uncle is in the company historic royal palaces its really cool
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!)
Ann Fitzgerald what was that for
@Michele Edmonds it’s really wet and rainy wouldn’t reccomend
I love stories like this, especially when told by the people who work there every day.
Me too because they are guides who are experts n knowledgeable about this kind of thing
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.
When I was in the famous.long hallway I felt the back of my beck being tickled.
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
Guadalupe Hernandez they’re fantastic, the Tower of London is a must see too!
The show the Tudors have very little to do with actual Tudor history. I thought it to be a travesty.
@@ingriddubbel8468 so it was but if you know the true history it was fun . The worst part was making Henry handsome to the end!
"Her date with the headsmens axe"
👌
Wouldn’t it be awesome to be at Hampton Court at night time?!?! I’d be in love!!!!
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
yesterday I went Hampton court for my school trip
Jon hannaby ...soooooooo lucky !!!!!
Say hi to me if you go again!
Zoe Murphy good enough!
@@katherinehoward8329 I went and heard something in the haunted gallery and I cried a bit
What was your experience there dearie any paranormal experiences I mean were you alone or not ect please
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
Regardless of what you believe though, the palace takes on a very different form at night and even if people think the stories are all rubbish, they are fun stories to tell. Yes, a lot of propaganda is involved but it is something that appeals to visitors and, if any of you have ever been on a ghost tour there, you will be entertained. I respect everyone's opinion on such debated topics but personally I know what I've sensed and its generally easy to judge what is and isn't real. Cont debate hah
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.
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.
apparently someone saw him at Hampton Court in the 1970s or 1960s, can't remember which decade or the exact year
Saw who?
Damn I just got creep out. Hang on I am checking my delta app for my next trip is London.
uuu how is he not scared when he is there alone at night
Because hes not alone.
Theres at least the cameraman, probably someone handling the sound (big furry microphone on a stick). The manager of the premises is probably on site to supervise and make sure they don't go anywhere off limits, and there'll be a night watchman to lock up the premises after they're done filming.
KrayZDogg ...the "ghosts" are just gliding around...nothing scary there ! (Particularly if you're making it all up for fame). The palace is well patrolled at all times, that dude is never alone.
He is with a large film crew.
Hitoaster ikr
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.
David Packer. Beautifully presented. Thankyou.
I wonder how these Ghost would react if an Ancestor visited these Palace's?
+Llnares Altieri Paluzzi Crues Barranco I am related to The Howard Family, The Carey and Boleyn and Seymore Family. Mistress Mary Boleyn is my 11 Great Grandmother...
And this means????
I was thinking about Visiting these Palaces.. Anne Boleyn is my 11th great Grand aunt,Mistress Mary Boleyn in my 11th great Grandmother.. i was thinking about Visiting these Palaces.. i just wonder if there would be more activity of there is a direct Ancestor in the Palace?
Could be. But I have seen some of these when they were Family members and nothing happened but most times they do though. Hope you all the bast in what ever you do :)
You mean if a -descendant- visited the palace, not an ancestor right..?
Oh my goodness! I've gotten chills!
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.
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'.
Wonderful! Are there any reported sightings of Cardinal Wolsey at the Court?
OrganicTory yes the part where they have the video footage were his apartments and where he hid just before he died after falling out with the egomaniac Henry Vlll, Anne Boleyn used these apartments too
@ladydigger The haunted gallery is on the ground fllor. It's kind of a long walkway. The Royal chapel sits in the middle of it. Thats the so called haunted gallery
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.
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 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.
Did she see you? Was there any noise? It is perhaps a portal. I went to Hampton Court in 1999 and would love to go again.
It looked like she saw me as she came through the closed door. There was no noise and it was eerily clam given that it was Easter time and the palace was celebrating the 300th anniversary of George I's accession to the British throne. There was no wind and only the warders about but they were nowhere near the apartments that the grey lady came out of. The ones by the main entrance gate.
I can’t believe I went there and walked in the same hallway and stairs
Aren't there supposed to be also ghost of a cat where cardinal Wolsey's apartment used to be. I heard. Thomas Wolsey was a cat person.
I can tell you now those ghosts are around during day when the visitors are there ,they very much there.😱
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, 👻😊
Be it hoax or real, one of the coolest things ever, is the Hampton Court ghost... nicknamed, Skeletor.
Of note, as he mentioned, is the way the two doors both fly open.... with no hands touching them.... and then a figure appears to close them.
Now that WOULD be a Dream come true....wow if those walls could talk....
Very interesting thanks for sharing :)
I have a newspaper about 2003 that shows a ghost opened the door! I’m wondering where did, I put?
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 .
lol that's awesome, I wouldn't even care! I looove to be scared
@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.
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.
You my man, I have to meet. And that isn't something I say often.
Drop me a line, I do exist
One of the places we didn't get to visit while our stay in London.
Theres something not right in that corridor where catherine howard was captured. I siddenly felt nausia, dizzyness and i had to leave as lbfelt i was going to pass out. I wont be returning any time soon lol
I do get ghost as a medium. I'm not a working medium as it's not my choice. But I felt energy so heavy I never saw anything but the tour gave me chills and I wanted out. I felt okay when we left within 2 hours. I felt ill. Some people don't have those abilities. I again I hate it. It's been used to make positive messages in my past. But get out.. I just wanted to enjoy history.
I've been here when I was 8 ...
Now I'm 40
That was awesome...Kudos to you...You should have you're own show...I'd watch it...
Henry the 8th probably never went to heaven, he stayed because he knew he would be going to hell. 🇦🇺✝️🇦🇺
@sassrach1 You're lucky lol but ya I'm sure it was! lol .. I'm planning a trip for next year, I'm so excited!!!
i went there yesterday. didnt feel anything, but it WAS the middle of the day :) i still believe.
hearing these stories made me remember my own
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.
that haunted gallery made me ill!
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.
Blickling Hall, I think you're talking about. I live near it.
@@electrathejelliclekitten8063 Is it as haunted as I described it?
I always find it kind of odd how clothing from the day also becomes ghosted and worn by the spirits. Why do they need clothes? Is it the perception of the person when they were alive that an outfit they once wore was something they found the most comfortable and often worn so that they project that on themselves while in spirit form? Imagine if you're a fashion designer knowing that your clothing designs will live on in the spiritual world for all eternity.
I imagine that it very well could be, that they’re just wearing something they felt comfortable being in whilst they were alive. They might be conscious about their bodies still, even in death they don’t feel like getting naked. And in the case of both Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard.... headless and naked.
My Grandmother saw a ghost, and she said it looked just like someone who was alive except fit what he was wearing. I think they appear as they did in life, and not to all.
@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 live next to Hampton court palace, I've been there so so so many times but I've never had anything happen to me :(
:(
I've been to Hampton Court and I've never seen or felt anything slightly resembling a ghost. Very disappointed by that. :(
@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.
Couldn’t they do this in the day time?! 😖😫😫😫😫😫😫😖😖😖😭😭😭😭
@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.
If there are ghost's it would mean there's no heaven or hell. I think of these activities as energies. Energies absorbed by other energies (people,walls, furniture etc). I'm not sure if this is accurate, but I'm trying to make sense of all of it and so far can't.
well awebreeze1 ..if ghosts are just energy ..then energy is just a ghost!..and how do you know they are not living in their own heaven?
beautiful woman with a beautiful smile i love your post how are you doing how is the weather over there right now
Nice. I thought you might be near the palace!!!
I’m only watching this coz me and my year group went there last year
Did you guys experience anythin particularly to paranormal instances
this is a cool channel
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! 😖
@ladydigger Hmmm the long gallery you refer to sounds like the haunted gallary. Do you mean the walkway leading to the chapel?
With how much history that happened at Hampton Court, it’d be more surprising if it wasn’t haunted.
God I LOVE England! My lionheart. From New Zealand 🇳🇿❤
Old buildings record those who have lived there... you just have to clear your mind and think and you will see them...
Been there, felt despair, and smelled roses
