Drawing on historical and contemporary sources, this selection includes a piano-playing ghost at Bamburgh Castle, the White Lady of Cresswell Tower, a mischievous poltergeist at the Schooner Hotel, as well as sightings of torturer Jogn Sage, who continues to stalk the dungeons at Chillingham Castle - widely regarded to be one of the most haunted places in Britain.
