The castle has held thousands of prisoners, including criminals of all kinds, political prisoners, and individuals prosecuted for their faith.

In 1612, during the reign of King James I, the castle was at the centre of a notorious trial, when nineteen people from the area of Lancashire were accused of witchcraft.

The defendants were imprisoned and tried in the castle. These proceedings became known as the Lancashire Witch Trials.

This stone sentinel holds many stories of hauntings, poltergeists, apparitions and human misery.

Anne and Renata follow the story of the Witches of Pendle Hill from the previous case to where they were put to death.

Find out more about Lancaster Castle and it's ghostly inhabitants.

Anne and Renata will be travelling to the UK this April - follow their shenanigans on their social media pages.
