Ghosts
...Spooky Haunts & Tales Of The Otherworld
Having recently been listed at number 8 in the top 10 spookiest hotels in the world, sightings of ghosts at the 14th century Gwydir Castle date back to the 1800s. The 5th Baronet, Sir John Wynn (1628-1719), seduced a serving maid, and when the relationship became complicated he murdered her, walling her body into a void in the chimney breast. The 1st Baronet, another Sir John Wynn (1553-1627), is among the many other reported ghosts including a dog and crying children. The castle has been undergoing a programme of restoration and now operates as a boutique Bed & Breakfast. The limited edition, print-block publisher Gwydir Press is based in one of the castle outbuildings.
