Margam Castle, located in Port Talbot, Wales, was built between 1830 and 1840 for Christopher Rice Mansel Talbot. The Tudor Gothic mansion stands on the site of an earlier Cistercian abbey, adding to its historical significance. During World War II, the castle served as a home for senior citizens evacuated from heavily bombed areas.

The castle is renowned for its paranormal activity, with numerous reported ghost sightings. One of the most frequently encountered spirits is that of Robert Scott, a gamekeeper who was murdered by a poacher in 1898. Visitors and staff have reported seeing his ghostly figure in the castle grounds, particularly near the Rose Garden.

Another prominent apparition is the “White Lady,” believed to be Emily Charlotte Talbot, who lived in the castle until her death in 1918. She has been seen gliding through corridors and rooms, often accompanied by the smell of lavender.

Children’s laughter and the sound of running footsteps have been heard echoing through empty hallways, attributed to the ghosts of young Victorian-era inhabitants. In the castle’s kitchen, staff have reported objects moving on their own and the sensation of being watched.

A hooded figure, thought to be a monk from the original Cistercian abbey, has been spotted in the castle’s courtyard and near the on-site chapel. Visitors have also described feeling sudden cold spots and experiencing unexplained feelings of sadness or unease in certain areas of the castle.

These paranormal occurrences have made Margam Castle a popular destination for ghost hunters and curious visitors seeking to experience its supernatural atmosphere.
