Skenfrith Castle, located in Monmouthshire, Wales, dates back to the early 12th century. Built as part of a trio of fortifications known as the “Three Castles” along with Grosmont and White Castle, Skenfrith played a crucial role in defending the Welsh Marches. The stone castle visible today replaced an earlier wooden structure and was completed around 1240 under the supervision of Hubert de Burgh.

Over the centuries, Skenfrith Castle has accumulated its share of ghostly tales. One of the most well-known apparitions is that of a soldier in medieval armor, often spotted patrolling the castle walls at night. Visitors have reported hearing the clanking of metal and seeing a shadowy figure moving along the ramparts.

Another frequently encountered spirit is believed to be that of a young woman in a white dress. She has been seen wandering the castle grounds, particularly near the riverside. Some accounts suggest she may be the ghost of a noblewoman who lived in the castle during its heyday.

The castle’s great hall is said to be a hotbed of paranormal activity. Visitors have reported sudden temperature drops, unexplained footsteps, and the feeling of being watched when no one else is present. Some have even claimed to hear faint music and laughter, as if a medieval feast were taking place.

In the castle’s circular keep, several people have reported encountering a malevolent presence. This entity is said to create feelings of unease and, in some cases, has allegedly pushed or shoved unsuspecting visitors.
