Are you brave enough to hear the tale of Catherine of Aragon, the first wife of King Henry VIII, who haunts the halls of two castles in Cambridgeshire, England?

Catherine’s ghost has been sighted at both Castle Lodge and Kimbolton Castle, but her first apparition is said to be at Castle Lodge, the place of her youth. Visitors have reported seeing the ghost of a teenage girl dressed in Tudor costume, walking the attic corridors and visiting the nursery. Her footsteps echo through the halls, and some have even claimed to see her disappear through closed doors, leaving them with an overwhelming sense of dread.

Legend has it that this ghostly apparition is none other than Catherine of Aragon herself, drawn back by the happy memories she shared with her young husband, the Prince of Wales. But why does she linger in the afterlife? Some say it is because she is searching for something, a lost treasure or perhaps seeking revenge on those who wronged her.

Her second haunt is the very place she died, Kimbolton Castle. It is said that Catherine’s ghost walks the halls, and on one floor, she appears as legs and lower body projecting from the ceiling. On another floor, her head and shoulders have been seen gliding along the floor, seemingly unaware of the alterations made to the original floor levels.

So, if you ever find yourself wandering through the halls of Castle Lodge or Kimbolton Castle, keep your eyes peeled for the ghostly apparition of Catherine of Aragon. Who knows, perhaps she may even reveal to you the secrets that she seeks in the afterlife.
