They say the house on Green Batt never sleeps. Long after the last pub doors close and the castle lights fade, a shadow moves faintly behind drawn curtains. The home comes alive in minute ways, gentle, soft breathing, movements and it faces you in the dark.

Neighbours speak of footsteps pacing the upper floor around 3:30 a.m. slow, deliberate, back and forth. Doors are heard closing softly, as though someone careful is moving room to room. Those who pause outside the gate swear they feel watched, though the glass reflects only darkness.

A tragedy has stained those walls. A disappearance. A body never found. Official records are thin; rumours grew thick. The aftermath still haunts the building

One winter night in 2001, a passer‑by David, claimed the front door stood open. "Inside, the hallway a light flickered, and the air felt heavy, charged. From somewhere deep within the house came the sound of breathing. I ran it frightened me"

Not wind. Not pipes. Breathing. when the police arrived there was no sign of any intruder, and the door, shut. In 2014 an investifation with our team revealed excatly what everyone had said, breathing, doors moved, a shadow followed by a light appeared. For over three hours everything was gentle, subtle and investigated with caution. Then it stopped. No answers, no reasons and no stopping it. Two subsequent investigations revealed similar results, in each case the mystery shadow would not reveal itself.

On Green Batt, the house does not rest. It waits, seemingly listening, once you notice, the footsteps start. There is more, join us on our walk around the back streets of Alnwick, ghostwalksalnwick.co.uk

Book a Ghost Walk during your stay with Alnwick Ghost Walks and hear some spooky tales of Old Alnwick Town...

Step into the shadows of history with the official Alnwick Ghost Walk, Northumberland’s most atmospheric and talked‑about haunted tour. As darkness falls beneath the towering walls of Alnwick Castle, our expert Ralph Keeton TV Medium and Spiritual Exorcist leads you through cobbled streets, ancient churchyards, and hidden corners where centuries of mystery refuse to rest.

Yesterdays walk with the group of walkers from Kendal were fascinated by the sounds of a horse as we walked, prompting my story of the ghost phantom Horse.

In Brief:
They see it most often at dusk. A riderless horse, dark in the fading light, walking slowly along Greenwell Road as though it knows exactly where it is going. Its hooves making almost no sound against the tarmac, yet witnesses insist they can hear a faint, hollow clop out of rhythm with the modern world around it.
It always faces toward Alnwick Castle.

Drivers have slowed, thinking a real animal has wandered loose, only to watch it pass beneath a streetlamp and then turn into mist. On record is a retired teacher in 2019 who said she saw the reins hanging, gently swaying, though no rider held them. A delivery driver also reported pulling over as the horse crossed ahead of his van, yet his headlights shone straight through its body.
The strangest detail is this: the horse never runs.
Instead, it dissolves, fleeing sideways into the hedgerow becoming a shadow, vanishing where no path exists.

Warkworth castle daffodils in all their glory 🌼 one of the most spectacular spring sights in Northumberland.

Thousands of yellow daffodils cover the hill of the mighty keep of Warkworth castle overlooking the village below. The great tower or keep is almost complete, though it was built by the first Earl of Northumberland over 600 years ago. Warkworth was besieged by the Scots in 1327 and played a key role in the long-running war between England and Scotland.

Home of the Percy family who wielded almost kingly power in the north. They owned Warkworth and nearby Alnwick Castle, where their descendants still live today.
