The Ghost of Upnor Castle Rochester, Kent, England

One of the most enduring legends involves the restless spirit of a young soldier who fell during the Dutch Raid of 1667. According to local lore, his ghost can still be seen patrolling the gun platforms at dusk, gazing out over the river as if guarding against another attack. Those who’ve seen him describe a figure in period uniform, his face pale and sorrowful, disappearing into the shadows as quickly as he appeared.
Visitors and staff alike have reported unexplainable events. Footsteps echo down empty corridors. Doors creak open on their own. The faint scent of gunpowder lingers in rooms long abandoned by any military presence. One curator, locking up for the night, claimed to hear the sound of a cannon firing, followed by a deep, disembodied groan.
