Haunted or Hoax

S5 E10. Chillingham Castle

Episode Summary

For our final episode of the season, we limp our way across the Atlantic to Chillingham Castle, a medieval fortress that spent centuries collecting war trauma like it was a hobby. Sitting on one of the most violently contested borders in British history, this place didn’t need ghosts to become unsettling, the documented history already chose violence.
