Europe is home to some of the oldest places and buildings in the world.

And many come with their own spooky back story and tales of ghost sightings and paranormal activity.

The team at WinstonsBeds.com have revealed some of Europe’s most haunted locations to stay the night.

And one of the locations is in Scotland.

Tulloch Castle in Dingwall, the Highlands, dates back to at least the 14th century, and is believed to have many ghosts at the site.

But the most popular ghost is the Green Lady, believed to be Elizabeth Davidson.

After catching her father with the castle’s maid, Elizabeth ran back to her room, (room 15) tripped down the stairs and broke her neck.

The Green Lady has been captured on film in the past and paranormal teams who have inspected the castle have reported balls of light, cold spots and constant noise and bangs with no explanation.

Elsewhere in the UK, The Mermaid Inn in Sussex is believed to be one of the most haunted places in the country.

Guests have reported feeling an eerie presence in their rooms, with room 17 specifically being known to often go awfully cold all of a sudden.

The hotel has also had plenty of reports of a “Lady in White” who sits in a chair next to the fireplace in room 1. Guests who leave their clothes on the chair overnight tend to wake up to their garments being completely soaked by the ghost.

The Dragsholm Slot in Denmark, which also made the list, was once a prison and is said to be home to many ghostly stories.

Another former prison, Hotel Bilan in Sweden, was first built in the 1800’s with some of its remaining cells in the cellar now turned into a museum.

The hotel’s receptionist has reported feeling an invisible obstruction one night after trying to lock up the museum. Guests have also claimed to feel strange rumblings in other parts of the hotel.

The final spot on the list goes to Château de Brissac in France, and unlike many other haunted places in Europe, it is home to only one ghost.

Rebecca Swain, mattress expert at WinstonsBeds.com said: “Real thrill seekers and paranormal fanatics will be excited by the thought of spending a night in some of Europe’s most haunted locations.

“But only the brave or absurd would take it one step further and stay in the very rooms where paranormal activity is said to occur.

“Those looking for a real fright can stay at these locations, some of which are so haunted they have converted non-believers after their stay.

“For a night in one of these locations, be prepared to hear strange noises and see things you’ve never seen before.”
