Most Haunted at Bodelwyddan Castle

Sitting around a small table in the castle’s cellar three men asked if there was anybody there. The table began to rock slightly and they knew that contact with a spirit had been made. 

The three men were Karl Beattie, Richard Felix and Stuart Torevell from LIVINGtv’s Most Haunted. The location was Bodelwyddan Castle, North Wales. The celebrated TV programme has filmed at many reputedly haunted locations around the UK and the crew has experienced a number of paranormal phenomena. However, what happened next in the cellar was truly shocking and something the three men had never experienced before.

As Richard was asking the spirit to leave, the table jumped towards him, and slid about a foot across the floor. The men were so shaken that they decided to stop the ‘table tilting’ experiment and go back upstairs. Richard was very emotional and Karl and Stuart were both speechless.

Mediums Derek Acorah and David Wells did separate walks around the Castle with presenter Yvette Fielding and came up with some interesting information, which they picked up from the residual spirit energies. Derek was able to pick up on a lady who he said had been murdered in the seventeenth century and her bones put behind a fireplace. Could these be the bones that were found in 1829 by then owner, Sir John Hay Williams? Both mediums came up with the name Williams (the Williams family were at Bodelwyddan Castle from 1690 to the 1900s.)

Other occurrences included somebody breathing in Yvette’s ear in the Sculpture Gallery, a rattling door and shadows, noises and a light anomaly in the cellar. The cellar seemed to be where most of the activity was coming from.

It was a very interesting and exciting night, although after seeing the footage on the programme some members of staff at Bodelwyddan Castle won’t be too happy about going into the cellar!

This episode was part of series 5 and was first broadcast on LIVINGtv on 30th November 2004.
