- With 500 years of dramatic, often violent history, Hampton Court Palace is commonly regarded as one of Britains most haunted buildings. Here, State Apartment Warder David Packer takes you on a tour of the places within the palace most associated with ghostly goings-on. For information on ghost tours and visiting the palace, go to www.hrp.org.uk
In July 2017 I was at Hampton Court and walked up and back through the gallery down which Catherine Howard ran. While walking back towards the chapel and two-thirds of the way down I suddenly had a sensation of someone putting their hands on my shoulders and pulling me back. It was very strange.
I hope it was a good ghost who pulled you back for your own safety. It sounds you weren't further harmed. You were only pulled back and no more. He might have saved you from walking into any evil spirit.
Did you wear a face nappy?
@@trevorwills3356 You and Richard Madeley 🤣.
@@pinklady7184 they all evil demonic spirts ie satan
@@georgedonnellan36 You mean a face diaper?
In 2008, I visited Hampton Court Palace and heard a ghostly moan in an empty room that I believe is in the Georgian section of the palace. At the time I heard the moan, It didn't occur to me that the noise may have been a ghost. I remember looking around the room to see where the noise may have come from but couldn't find anything that could have produced that sound. After visiting the haunted gallery, I began thinking that the sound may have been a ghost.
It is likely a ghost sharing his memory with you. Sometimes a clue of his former lifetime.
More like ghost of kathrine howard because it says her ghost haunts that hampton court gallery, that gallery was where the guards held her back when she was trying to speak to Henry
@@pinklady7184 it definatelt has to be kathrine Howard and what happened to her
Been on two night ghost tours as fortunate to live up the road from the Palace. Each time I've experienced something paranormal first time 3 years ago in fact David was the one who took us round.... in The Procession Gallery where I saw a lady in long dress in the corner and no one else did and tonight 3 Feb 2018 after the tour sitting in the Great Hall someone whispered into my war felt the hot breath . Also saw a cowled monk in black. Been going to this palace for over 50 years it has the most incredible feel. I love it
You are so lucky to live next to this amazing place. If I lived that close to it I’d be visiting all the time too
Hello! Can you please tell me what you exactly experienced? Like can you please describe it all properly? I am really interested to know what happened!! You're really lucky that you live there...
I don't care what anyone says, I used to work there and I had some weird stuff happen to me. Quite often people make up stories and imagine things but some who don't believe have seen things. Then again some people supposedly see things all the time, other people never see anything. Personally I know the dog and perfume stories to be true because they happened to me. It sounds corny but until something happens to you you may never believe. All I know is that certain rooms at the palace are creep
Lord T. W. Hudson agreed been there today Feb 2018 smelt the perfume also someone whispered in my right ear in the great hall.
Wow that’s freaky!! tell me more guys!
Lord T. W. Hudson it was me~
Katherine Howard damn Katherine, how is the afterlife!?!??? Do you get to hang out with Thomas Culpeper?
@@katherinehoward8329 oh hi Kathrine
On april 29th 2014 I visited hampton court when I came to the haunted gallery I saw a shadow where a lady was passing but I checked and I saw no one there so I actually think there is a ghost
They have a simulated moving shadow there as a fun way to create a spooky atmosphere but it's just projected. But who knows, maybe there is a ghost and maybe the shadow you saw wasn't the simulated one :)
Victoria Hill one of my friends knocked on one of the walls and it knocked back. How do u explain how it happened?
unkn0wnripper123 .....Anything can happen and there is much that we do not understand.
@habeeb mustafa al-aedroos OH MAH GAWD
i hope i don't come to the haunted gallery if i visit hampton court palace when i'm an adult but sadly its corona so i can't but thank god i don't need to see creepy ghosts
I'm from the USA and I LOVE English/UK history! The historical places in the UK are endless and I love it :) (don't get me wrong I still love my country!)
Ann Fitzgerald what was that for
@Michele Edmonds it’s really wet and rainy wouldn’t reccomend
I remember going to Hampton Court Palace about a year ago and recall smelling rose petals and lavender, although I'm not sure if they do it purposely to lead people on to believe that ghosts still wander the Palace.
I work there (contract ends next month) but I can tell you that we never put out anything smelly or sweet scented :)
I suspect it was someone's perfume then! :) Eden McCarthy
It very well could have been! But some strange things do happen there :)
I cannot wait to visit again! All going well it should be within a few weeks.
@@edenmccarthy3078 have any of you or staff ever encountered queen anne boleyn or any of the other wives ghosts?
I can see spirits, ever since i was young. I always loved the tudors. So happy to see people roaming around like they never left and never letted go.
I went to Hampton Court Palace today and i need to say it is haunted!!!!!
I knew Ann and Katherine Howard haunted the grounds but I didn’t know Jane Seymour did as well
Yes she died its said and described if you see a lad holding a candle in a long white gown that's Jane. All three haunt that Jane on the other hand is sad she wants to find her son Edward. Cathrjne parrs ghost is in sudley Castle where she gave brat to her daughter Mary with her husband thomas seymour, what would like to see is thomas seymlur and kathrine parrs ghost linked arms trying to find their daughter Mary, because both deid when their daughter was young, cathrine snake as her sister in law and thkmas was beheaded
Omg I'm so jealous, you guys are so lucky. I am in the USA, sooo far away from England. But I want to visit SO BAD. I am obsessed with the Tudors, and I believe in ghosts so.. when the day finally comes that I can visit Hampton Court Palace... Tudor history AND their ghosts.. I have no words. hahahaha
beautiful woman with a beautiful smile i love your post are you doing today how is weather over there right now
I love Katherine, Catherine, and Jane, they're beautiful, they can haunt me anyday!
Your choice,
@@katherinehoward8329 how is the afterlife?🤔
ricardo ernesto mendoza quintero quite nice I go down to hell sometimes to laugh in Culpepper and Henry’s faces
Katherine Howard wait that sounds fun 😳
Lovely it is quite nice cause I also see Anne’s father you know the one who practically sold her to Henry?
David Packer. Beautifully presented. Thankyou.
I was fortunate to go to England and also visit Hampton Court Palace.. I will have to say that I believe the place is haunted, I did have an experience although it wasn’t Spectre. A friend and myself had to leave the tour to catch a bus and got turned around in the palace. We were standing midway on the staircase trying to side which way to go and said how do we get out of here and the door to the grounds opened up m. She looked at me and I looked at her then we ran out the door and said thank you very much. Those doors do not have motion detectors. I don’t think Henry open the door but someone did. Spooky
Excellent visuals and atmosphere. Great stories told well. This short video is more satisfying than most of the stuff I saw on The History Channel. Especially the bit about a ghost's captured image on the closed circuit TV. I'd love more videos like this!
now thats a gentlements beard!
@ladydigger Maybe your Dad might have heard the Ghost of Katherine Howard - Henry VIII's fifth wife. She screamed in the Long Gallery one the day she was arrested for treason. She's a regular ghost in Hampton Court and in June, she is joined by the ghost of Anne Bolyen who happens to be her cousin.
"Bloated and impotent" ... I wouldn't be throwing those words around so casually in Henry's palace if I were there 😏
That dude was evil and crazy. He went straight to hell
@@adventureswithcrystal yes, he was. Probably due to brain damage after a jousting accident. His personality changed dramatically.
@@lorihogue5015 he was nasty before that look how he treated Katherine of Aragon and Mary their daughter , and dare I mention Wolsey !
I wonder if you can take a nighttime ghost tour of Hampton Court
Rachel Lesch you can between December and March each year
I would love to go Vist I live in the US but after watching Tudors I'm very interested in seeing these places in person love their history
Guadalupe Hernandez they’re fantastic, the Tower of London is a must see too!
The show the Tudors have very little to do with actual Tudor history. I thought it to be a travesty.
@@ingriddubbel8468 so it was but if you know the true history it was fun . The worst part was making Henry handsome to the end!
Me and my family went yesterday courtesy of Tesco's clubcard bost and it felt eerie, cold dark and damp and im not a believer of Ghosts etc.
Something i will never forget and wont be going back there in a hurry.
It def must be worse at night imo.
A few days ago i attened a ghost tour here,very atmospheric and well presented.I didnt personally see anything,but its good for tourism.They lead you round in twilight,we stood outside the fire-doors,allegedly opened by the ghost in 2003,and at the app moment,a member of staff flung them open.You can imagine how some people reacted.Iam open-minded about ghosts,but wasnt convinced.Worth a trip though.
I am a psychic and I know Catherine Howard’s ghost still runs down that corridor in a green dress trying to get to Henry and being grabbed by 2 guards by some large doors. Her spirit is not at peace and she does not understand why what happened to her happened. I do say prayers periodically for the peaceful repose of her soul. I visited Hampton Court many times when I was younger. I am also told by the other side that Hampton Court was a place of many whispers and much intrique. The Maze is (or was) my favorite part, 👻😊
So I’m interested... tell me your Hampton court ghost stories guys I wanna know
What a grand video!! David is wonderful and so is the palace! Kate Adams directed me to this via her recent newsletter to us, for which I am glad indeed...
Maybe next year we'll rent a room in the palace and have some experiences for ourselves. It must be an amazing place to work/live - much like the Tower.
Some day I will visit Hampton Court Palace! And when I do, I hope I will be able to go on a ghost tour, as I do love hearing the stories!
"Her date with the headsmens axe"
👌
hearing these stories made me remember my own
I would go there at the drop of a hat, but without money, im grounded!!! Happy, am just grounded
apparently someone saw him at Hampton Court in the 1970s or 1960s, can't remember which decade or the exact year
Saw who?
One of the places we didn't get to visit while our stay in London.
I went here for my honeymoon back in 2002! I just found some pics in my closet last night. You must visit the TOWER OF LONDON before you die. This was my favourite attraction.
My last name is Tuter, but people think it's Tudor. I believe Ghost Adventures said this place (it looks like row apartments) with guards outside is the MOST HAUNTED ATTRACTION IN LONDON!
I have pics of the Traitors' Gate, Bloody Tower, and 2 other towers that I can't make out (I need a magnifying glass). I also love climbing up stairs-I think climbing churches is the best. Don't forget to Crypts too!
I also CONFIRMED something I always asked my parents about since I was 6. Even on my dad's deathbed, I always FELT that he had Irish blood. He said NO along with other family members. So, I got one of those DNA tests to see what it finds regarding my heritage (you should ALL take that test-just for kicks) and I nearly FAINTED at the results!
I thought I was half Filipina and half Caucasian. Ummm, I was 49.5% Filipina, Indonesian, Malay, 25.3% Irish, Scottish, Welsh, 23% Scandinavian and 2.2% Mesoamerican, Endean. Hold on-gotta check and don't want to lose my comment....
Howard and Boleyn seem to have followed your directions of seeing the tower before dying.
Iam filipina but since i was little ive been so drawn to english history and nobody inteoduced it to me, I just learn to love it on my own. I always felt i dont belong here in my country now.... there is a something inside me that misses the english lands.
That is awesome. I bet you are a beauty!! That really is amazing you knew that you were Irish.
I’m very passionate about paranormal and ghosts and haunted haunted houses 🏠 and places around around the world 🌎 I’ve believed in ghosts for over 40 years now 4:04pm
I remember seeing the ghost knock the doors open on TV when I lived back in PA. It has since been dismissed as someone dressed up but I can't remember exactly what the event was. It sure had us all abuzz when we first saw it.
God I LOVE England! My lionheart. From New Zealand 🇳🇿❤
Awesome video, the guy narrating did a good job, not overdone and engaging. I will be Googling Hampton Court now to read up on it.
It always seems that those who don't believe are so dismissive of those of us who do! Almost like we're slightly mad for having such beliefs! It's an unknown quantity,pretty much like god.One can't prove the existence of god & in the same vein no-one has ever definitively proven the existence of ghosts,unless someone can prove otherwise. Surely it's a matter of personal belief! Oh,& I want Mr Packer's job! What a lucky man. HCP is on my list of 'things to do'.
I finally went this year, January 4, 2017. It was indeed fabulous to to be in the same place where all the history occurred. Additionally, Anthony Trollope set The Three Clerks along the nearby Surbinton stretch of the Thames. Easy to get here from London by train.
beautiful woman with a beautiful smile i love your post how are you doing how is the weather over there right now
When I was in the famous.long hallway I felt the back of my beck being tickled.
I can’t believe I went there and walked in the same hallway and stairs
@Bungle2010 ,
You make a valid point.I am actually a 'reformed catholic' and spent much of my early years following blindly the doctrine of that particular faith.We believed 'cause we were basically told that to not believe was a heinous sin.To even think about such things as 'ghosts' was anathema.I've experienced a number of inexplicable events throughout my life and,perhaps oddly,find it easier to accept these events than the existence of god! Maybe I am,indeed,immoral.
This is creepy !
I was once in. Castle in Scotland, fraser castle and i cannot explain something that happened. I went into a childs bedroom and i felt really uneasy !! It was like something in there didn’t want me there. I asked my friend if he would stay in here for a night and immediately he said lets get out of here i don’t feel good! He felt unwanted too! It was ver strange!
Later i saw a ghost show on TV and they went in that exact room and the got wild electromagnetic readings and a medium said there was a very angry spirit in there! 😖
@AnneARcTiCa I'm from the US as well and I studied/interned in England (London) for the summer! It's absolutely amazing and if you're into history the possibilities and things to do are endless! Best time of my life :)
i went there yesterday. didnt feel anything, but it WAS the middle of the day :) i still believe.
Damn I just got creep out. Hang on I am checking my delta app for my next trip is London.
At 5:38 minutes into the video the figure is wearing tudor style clothes and I can see the tiles where she is standing including the neckruff of the first Elizabethan era .
I wouldn't be able to sleep if I go there. There's another haunted place where reportedly the ghost of Anne Boleyn would be there holding her head as she walks and it's the same place where a ghost of a lion or a bear can be seen.
Blickling Hall, I think you're talking about. I live near it.
@@electrathejelliclekitten8063 Is it as haunted as I described it?
Been to Hampton court 3 timed,i never get tired of seeing it😊
Brilliant! Thank you....
Brilliant video interesting and informative your uncle has an lnteresting Job at t'he palace
what was the name of this particular series i would love to get a copy of it
beautiful woman with a beautiful smile i love your post are you doing today how is weather over there right now
Be it hoax or real, one of the coolest things ever, is the Hampton Court ghost... nicknamed, Skeletor.
Of note, as he mentioned, is the way the two doors both fly open.... with no hands touching them.... and then a figure appears to close them.
Wouldn’t it be awesome to be at Hampton Court at night time?!?! I’d be in love!!!!
That was awesome...Kudos to you...You should have you're own show...I'd watch it...
Regardless of what you believe though, the palace takes on a very different form at night and even if people think the stories are all rubbish, they are fun stories to tell. Yes, a lot of propaganda is involved but it is something that appeals to visitors and, if any of you have ever been on a ghost tour there, you will be entertained. I respect everyone's opinion on such debated topics but personally I know what I've sensed and its generally easy to judge what is and isn't real. Cont debate hah
I do get ghost as a medium. I'm not a working medium as it's not my choice. But I felt energy so heavy I never saw anything but the tour gave me chills and I wanted out. I felt okay when we left within 2 hours. I felt ill. Some people don't have those abilities. I again I hate it. It's been used to make positive messages in my past. But get out.. I just wanted to enjoy history.
@ladydigger Hmmm the long gallery you refer to sounds like the haunted gallary. Do you mean the walkway leading to the chapel?
@ladydigger The haunted gallery is on the ground fllor. It's kind of a long walkway. The Royal chapel sits in the middle of it. Thats the so called haunted gallery
uuu how is he not scared when he is there alone at night
Because hes not alone.
Theres at least the cameraman, probably someone handling the sound (big furry microphone on a stick). The manager of the premises is probably on site to supervise and make sure they don't go anywhere off limits, and there'll be a night watchman to lock up the premises after they're done filming.
KrayZDogg ...the "ghosts" are just gliding around...nothing scary there ! (Particularly if you're making it all up for fame). The palace is well patrolled at all times, that dude is never alone.
He is with a large film crew.
Hitoaster ikr
@davem732006 My latest task was in Vienna last month, helping to sort out a newly discovered medieval plague pit under the city cathedral. So sad seeing those thousands of bones stacked floor to ceiling in the underground vaults. The silence (and the smell!) was very evocative but the saddest part for me was the number of tiny skulls amongst the debris. We removed them to a better place and then a service was said for the departed.
Had anyone heard of one or more of the Windsor Royals have ever toured Hampton palace? I’ve heard that as a rule none of the Royals ever visit a former dynasty’s structures for fear of haunting and bad fortune.
With how much history that happened at Hampton Court, it’d be more surprising if it wasn’t haunted.
Unfortunately, no. Not that I remember anyway, it was soooo long ago, lol. I have always loved medieval history, and I can't remember what got me hooked, but I have learned all that I can about English history on my own. It's so fascinating, unlike American history lol :( We barely have a history
lol that's awesome, I wouldn't even care! I looove to be scared
I've been here when I was 8 ...
Now I'm 40
That ghost didn't know he was on camera, to me it looks so solid so everyone thinks it's a hoax, most times ghosts are caught on video or camera mid morph, it's very rare to catch one fully formed, the one that made me a believer and to this day it's the #1 capture is shadow dude of ghosts of Carmel, Maine. Kent the owner thought it was a guy that broke into his house, fully formed.
His voice is very soothing
I want to go so badddddd! So interesting!
I always find it kind of odd how clothing from the day also becomes ghosted and worn by the spirits. Why do they need clothes? Is it the perception of the person when they were alive that an outfit they once wore was something they found the most comfortable and often worn so that they project that on themselves while in spirit form? Imagine if you're a fashion designer knowing that your clothing designs will live on in the spiritual world for all eternity.
I imagine that it very well could be, that they’re just wearing something they felt comfortable being in whilst they were alive. They might be conscious about their bodies still, even in death they don’t feel like getting naked. And in the case of both Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard.... headless and naked.
My Grandmother saw a ghost, and she said it looked just like someone who was alive except fit what he was wearing. I think they appear as they did in life, and not to all.
Anyone else here because of SIX The Musical? I heard about Katherine Howard and people hearing her screams during Hampton Court visits and it's sparked my interest
If there are ghost's it would mean there's no heaven or hell. I think of these activities as energies. Energies absorbed by other energies (people,walls, furniture etc). I'm not sure if this is accurate, but I'm trying to make sense of all of it and so far can't.
well awebreeze1 ..if ghosts are just energy ..then energy is just a ghost!..and how do you know they are not living in their own heaven?
beautiful woman with a beautiful smile i love your post how are you doing how is the weather over there right now
You my man, I have to meet. And that isn't something I say often.
Drop me a line, I do exist
I’m only watching this coz me and my year group went there last year
Did you guys experience anythin particularly to paranormal instances
I wonder if David Packer is related to Matthew Packer, one of the few who actually saw Jack the Ripper face to face. He owned a small fruit shop and sold grapes to JTR and his victim Liz Stride, the first victim of the Double Event.
I know I'm not descended from him, but I've never checked if we're related more distantly.
@@1daveyp You never know. I have some Brandons in my family tree; Charles Brandon was Henry VIII's best friend.
I live next to Hampton court palace, I've been there so so so many times but I've never had anything happen to me :(
:(
I went there last week, but no ghost sightings for me!
this is a cool channel
Volume. Why you no louder?
I'm probably never going to work there!
+Kat TheFanEnthusiast i would love to work there..i love anything supernatural.
Wonderful doco
Theres something not right in that corridor where catherine howard was captured. I siddenly felt nausia, dizzyness and i had to leave as lbfelt i was going to pass out. I wont be returning any time soon lol
according to wikipedia catherine of aragon & anne boyle both died in 1536 several months apart while jane seymour died due to illness shortly after childbirth, anne of cleves died around a decade after henrey the 8th died, catherine howard's demise in 1542 a few years before henrey the 8th's death, & catherine parr passing away over a year after henrey died. henrey the 8th died in 1547.
I went there last year something grabed my ball bags felt a squeeze
Couldn’t they do this in the day time?! 😖😫😫😫😫😫😫😖😖😖😭😭😭😭
the guard tried to scare us but i didnt see or feel anything
@sassrach1 You're lucky lol but ya I'm sure it was! lol .. I'm planning a trip for next year, I'm so excited!!!
My friend, and I, visited Hampton Court yesterday, sadly the the silver stick stairway was closed of, and I believe the secret room, where mistress penn's, spinning wheel was found. But most disappointingly we saw nor heard anything paranormal.
I went their yesterday
Could anyone tell me if the ghost tours at hampton court are actually scary?
Family ghost tours, i mean. The ones for 8-14?
They are full of history and a bit eerie
Rosie Coffils ...sure...if you get into the spirit of things...hee hee
@ladydigger wow thats really interesting. I take it you are from England. Where abouts are you based?
I bet the ghost captured by the CCTV who opens the door was queen elizabeth the first, look closely to her picture, search it on google and it literally looked the same! Look at the style of her gown, did u see what's on her leg? it's a big circle white.... I don't know what's that but it's pretty similar to the ghost captured by the CCTV!! How about you guys? what do you think?
anne boleyn / bullin may be my 14th great aunt
and catherie howard my cousin
if in fact anne francis west is my harris 9th great grandmother who married thomas harris
the francis part is probably named after francis knollys / knolleys
Cool
@@delaneyhoward5487 are you descended from the Hereward of Mercia decent English Howard family too?

@dirkwestwood now,let's not lose our head over this...
I abhor Henry 8th. Horrible man. Caused terrible misery all in the name of getting laid. Heartless fool.
Ps. The background music adds so much to the atmosphere. Love it.
You should have the exit sign on the entrance to the mortuary 😅
When I was at Hampton court I saw a black figure up the stairs and it stared at me and started running
Damn I had to turn my lights on in bed, I was so scared!
I love to hear about history because that is history and they live in centery ago and I love to hear about they live but they are not here anymore
